Grade Calculation Help
Just finished my Socio Exam and cant say i'm confident i passed, it was all multiple choice and some questions threw me out the window...i want to major in it next year but i'm wonderin if it will fall under a 4...ok here it goes

I only know my Mark should be around a C to C+ if not B-


How bad would i have to do on the exam to fall below a 4? say my mark were at like 6 or a 5 prior to me writing the exam

btw the exam is worth 20% of my final mark

Best case scenario, you only need 24% to stay at 4.

Worst case scenario, you need just below a pass (~48%).

if your mark is 65 before the exam, for your mark to be a 60, given that the exam is worth 20% then

mark going in: 65*.8 = 52
exam is worth 20, to get 60, you need to get 8/20 or 40%

and what own said is right, if you have a 63 going in, you need a 48%
