Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my final course grade?
Final Grade = Sum of (Score × Weight) for all components. For example: if assignments (30%) = 75%, tests (30%) = 65%, exam (40%) = 70%, then Final = (75×0.30) + (65×0.30) + (70×0.40) = 22.5 + 19.5 + 28 = 70%.
What score do I need on my final exam to pass?
Use the 'What do I need?' feature. Enter all completed components with their scores and weights, then enter your target final grade and the remaining exam weight. The calculator tells you the minimum exam score needed.
What is Continuous Assessment (CA) in Nigerian universities?
Nigerian universities typically divide grades into Continuous Assessment (CA) worth 30–40% and a final examination worth 60–70%. CA usually includes assignments, quizzes, tests, and lab work. The CA score is added to the exam score for the final grade.
What percentage is needed to pass in Nigerian universities?
Most Nigerian universities use: 70%+ = A (5 pts), 60–69% = B (4 pts), 50–59% = C (3 pts), 45–49% = D (2 pts), 40–44% = E (1 pt), below 40% = F (0 pts). You need at least 40% (E grade) to avoid an F and retaking the course.
What happens if I fail a course in a Nigerian university?
If you score F (below 40%), you must carry over the course and repeat it the next time it is offered. Too many carryover courses can lead to extended study time or academic dismissal. Some universities allow supplementary exams for borderline cases.
