no...for each of your subjects, using the grade, give each subject certain points, using:
F- 0
CP- 1
P- 2
CR- 3
D- 4
HD- 4
find the average of that. thats going to be your gpa

How to calculate Macquarie GPA:

HD,D - 4
Cr - 3
P - 2
PC - 1
F - 0

An example, with credit points in brackets:

ABCD101(4) - D
ABCD102(3) - C
ABCD103(3) - PC
ABCD104(3) - P

GPA
= ( weighted sum of credit points and grades ) / ( total number of credit points )
= { 4*4 + 3*3 + 1*3 + 2*3 } / { 4 + 3 + 3 + 3 }

WAM- Weighted Average Marks, not used at MQ. You multiply your mark by the credit point of the subject then add them all up and divide them by the total number of credit points.

well i was thinking barts- psychology although i dont want to be a psychologist but i dont know what else to do.. like i wanna do something with kids but i dont necessarily want to do teaching but this way i have an option to do a dip ed at the end. I cant believe ive gone full circle. from wanting this in year 12 to getting ym uai and doing a total 180 to once again being back to my original wants.

Is there ne diff between me sending the form in via mail or actually handing it in personally to the SES?

Also i wanna transfer to B.Com, so do i still fill in the part that says: 'List modules or unit groups for BBA, BSocSc:'? Or does it only apply if u wanna transfr to BBA & SocSc?

It's because Macq gives out few high grades that it doesn't matter.
