Weighting of English Papers (1 Viewer)

I'm a bit confused as to how an English mark "out of 100" is obtained. Is it:
a) Simply multiply the mark out of 105 by 100/105
b) Make the two papers have equal weighting, that is paper 1 and paper 2 are both 50%
c) Reducing the paper 1 mark to a mark out of 40 and keeping paper 2 the same

I heard that paper 1 is eventually out of 40? not 45 somehow which sucks coz that's usually my better one lol.
paper 2 is out of 60

Paper 1 is reduced to 40 marks.
Paper 2 remains the 60.

Add them up.

Shit. Paper 1 was meant to pull me up. I was under the assumption that they were 50/50

How do they reduce to 40? Like do they just subtract 5 from the original?

this sorta makes me happy, because my belonging essay is shit. but also makes me sad, because mod b is my weakest area :/

X / 45 * 40 = Y

X = your old mark out of 45

Y = your new mark out of 40
