Final mark = CA + exam
Most courses combine continuous assessment (CA), such as tests and assignments, with a final exam. A common split is 40 for CA and 60 for the exam, adding up to 100, but the exact weights are set by your university and program. Check your programme handbook.
From mark to grade
Universities use a table that maps mark ranges to grades (like A, B+ or C), GPA points and sometimes a remark such as Distinction. Each university sets its own pass mark and bands, so do not assume another university's table applies to yours.
How GPA is worked out
For each course, take the grade points and multiply them by the course's credit units. Add those results for all courses, then divide by the total credit units.
Example: a 3-credit course with 4 points and a 2-credit course with 3 points gives (3×4 + 2×3) ÷ (3 + 2) = 18 ÷ 5 = 3.6.
Cumulative GPA
Your cumulative GPA combines your previous GPA and credits with the current semester. Multiply each GPA by its credits, add them, then divide by the total credits.
