Hi,

I am well aware that if you retake a class they would average the score.

Then does that mean if you retake the class more than twice they would average the entire attempts?

I was a bad bad student a long time ago and I had to take orgo 3 times and got all Fs.

Last year I started studying again and I got an A.

I am wondering if this will give me a (F+A)/2 or (F+F+F+A)/4

Also, Lets say they used the latter method and my orgo grade was a D.

Would this count as D with a 4 credit or would they just simply add 0+0+0+4 for 16 credits.

They both average to the same number but in fact these two give a completely different number when calculating the total GPA. (its like having 1 D vs. 4 Ds)

damn it... Why didn't I study....OTL


I am very worried with this situation :-(

Does anyone have any clear answers by experience?

Thanks in advance

You will be required to enter all courses with their respective grades, including the repeated ones. And yes, it will be calculated into the gpas.

It looks like your ochem class was 4 credits so you would have a total of 12 credits of 0 quality points and then 4 credits of 16 quality points.

Thanks for the info.

This was the worst case scenario.. :-(
