A GPA of 5.5 (1 Viewer)

[Michaelmoo]

Ok. I was just wondering how difficult it would be to achieve a GPA of 5.5 in university.

Is it an average a credit or distinction or what?

What is the average raw mark needed for each subject?

generally the GPA is worked out from the following weightings:
Pass = 4
Credit = 5
Distinction = 6
High Distinction = 7

so for a 5.5 your results would need to be roughly 50% credits, 50% distinctions. not that hard if you're a decent student and apply yourself.

not hard but very few people actually achieve it , i would say only 10%, because it is very easy to slack off, there are no teachers to check your home work and give you detention if you dont do your work, even make you turn up to lectures.

to get 5.5 in first year is not too hard, but over 3 year period, it requires lots of dedication.

so yeah it is "hard"

Kinda depends on how smart you are to start with

Depends on what degree you are doing, and what you are good at.

It's easy to pass Arts, but not necessarily easy to get good marks.

more people would have a sub 4 gpa than a gpa >5.5 ..... and i know some people who study thier asses off and still fail. yeah beleive it or not there are some really dumb people at uni....

I don't know anything about GPA.

My uni hasn't even spoken about GPA at all!
