How they count first class if u take only 11.5 unit ? Then is that half unit stat counted as one if maths is exempted?
The nine marks on which the classification is based are drawn from the following.
i. The marks for all Further units considered individually.
ii. If eight Further units and four Foundation units have been attempted, the ninth mark is the average of
the best three Foundation units (see also v).
iii. If seven Further units and five Foundation units have been attempted, the eighth mark is the average
of the best two Foundation units, and the ninth mark is the average of the next best two Foundation
units (see also vi.).
iv. If six Further units and six Foundation units have been attempted, the seventh mark is the average of
the best three Foundation units, the eighth mark is the average of the next best two Foundation units,
and the ninth mark is the average of all six Further units (see also vii.).
v. Where a student is exempt from one or more Foundation units and has taken Foundation units to bring
their total of exemptions and Foundation units to four then:
(a) given one exemption, the ninth mark is calculated in the usual way (see ii.)
(b) given two exemptions, the ninth mark is the average of the two Foundation units taken
(c) given three exemptions, the ninth mark is the Foundation unit taken
(d) given four exemptions, the ninth mark is the average of all the Further units taken.
