    Arts Student Here.

    I know this has been asked a million times, but I really do need to know what percentage a C3 is. I have two repeats upcoming.
    Thank you in advance!

    Also depends on your QCA; you can get a D [compensatory fail] and 'pass' in the sense that grades in the rest of your subjects pull you up above a 2.0 QCA.

    C3s are pretty easy to get (generally). Are the subjects you're repeating difficult? As in, do you feel utterly lost?
