Craig Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 Right... I'm doing this really shitty module at Uni, and i haven't put nowhere near enough effort in, and have an exam tomorrow in it. The exam is worth 30% of the module. In the other 70% of the module i have got a score of 60 (thats out of a hundred). If i was to only get a score of say 20... in the exam, what would my overall score be in the module? I'm so confused :blink:

potter3 Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 Depends how much the exam is out of, if it was out of 50 would the module be out of 150 then?
Craig Posted 8 May 2007 Author Posted 8 May 2007 and you do maths No, i mean... i need the maths of this scenario. I do criminology.
Wils Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 No, i mean... i need the maths of this scenario. I do criminology. Whos the crooks in this crime.
Bluefoxtim Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 Sorry but...your an idiot. Not only have you done very little for 30% (which is a beefy chunk) you don't know the marks.

If you score 20 that's 20% so you fail the exam. And if the exam is 30% of module then you'll have to pass everything else to gain the 70% needed.

And if the exam is 30% of module then you'll have to pass everything else to gain the 70% needed. It's 40% to pass. I'd take that. I'm just awful with exams, and can see myself fluffing it.
Wezleylowski Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 It's 40% to pass.I'd take that. I'm just awful with exams, and can see myself fluffing it. Confidence is the key my friend

If i was to only get a score of say 20... in the exam, what would my overall score be in the module? I'm so confused :blink: So far you have 42% overall for the module, so you can get zero in the exam and still pass the module. To get 50% overall you need 26.67% in the exam. To get 60% overall you need 60% in the exam. To get 70% overall you need 93.33% in the exam. Go wild.
Sods Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 No, i mean... i need the maths of this scenario. I do criminology. oh righty sorry bout that. good luck fella

If i was to only get a score of say 20... in the exam, what would my overall score be in the module? I'm so confused :blink: Other 70% of module = 0.7 * 0.6 = 0.42 => you already have 42% If you get 20% in the exam your total overall mark = 42% + (0.2 * 0.3) = 49%. If you are saying you need 40% overall to pass the module, you already have that. If you are saying you need 40% in the exam to pass the module then you will end up with 54% overall. I don't care if you have already worked that out. I like numbers. They are my friend.

Craig Posted 8 May 2007 Author Posted 8 May 2007 Thanks! from that i've worked out all my other modules, and the year is already safely passed. FANTASTIC. :D
Wils Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 Thanks! from that i've worked out all my other modules, and the year is already safely passed.FANTASTIC. :D That means you can go on the lash instead of revising tonight.
Craig Posted 8 May 2007 Author Posted 8 May 2007 That means you can go on the lash instead of revising tonight. I'll still revise. I has a bit of an end of season feel about it now though I guess it all still counts.
James. Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 Thanks! from that i've worked out all my other modules, and the year is already safely passed.FANTASTIC. :D Would you like Mr Kokopops and myself to check your calculations?
lookwhaticando Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 I have a habit of checking where I am in the course by working out how much of my grade I have secured before a major exam. It helps me cope with the pressure in some cases - knowing that if I have a truly bad day at the office, I can still pass comfortably. The best one was my Analysis of Variance course... of the 50% of the course completed (one midterm, four assignments) I had collected 48.9% of the available marks... meaning I needed just 1.1/50 (2.2%) on the final exam to pass the course (50%)

Fez of Mahrez Posted 8 May 2007 Posted 8 May 2007 I'll still revise.It has a bit of an end of season feel about it now though I guess it all still counts. :laugh: Brilliant. Always shoehorn in a football reference wherever you can. :D

And you probably end up getting a really high grade there in the end (no pressure and you had obviously done your coursework...)
