2. In this example the applicant has 7 distinctions (DDDDDDD).
His components have various credit values. The table below shows the steps required to calculate the overall score. Begin by listing the components in grade order DDDDDDD.
Step
1 Grade D D D D D D D
2 Credit Value 30 30 15 15 15 15 15
4 Credit value for scoring (max = 120) 30 30 15 15 15 15 0
5 Weighting 3 3 3 3 3 3 n/a
6 Weighting x Credit Value 3x30 3x30 3x15 3x15 3x15 3x15 n/a
7 Add the results 90 90 45 45 45 45 =360
3 Cumulative credit value (max=120) 30 60 75 90 105 120 n/a
He has 135 credits and can only count 120 for scoring purposes, so eliminate 15 credits with the least value - i.e. eliminate one of the distinctions with a credit value of 15. Now multiply 360 by 13 and divide by 12 = 390.
3. In this example the applicant has 4 distinctions, 2 merits and 2 passes.
Her components have various credit values. The table below shows the steps required to calculate the overall score. Begin by listing the components in grade order DDDDMMPP.
Step
1 Grade D D D D M M P P
2 Credit Value 30 15 15 10 30 15 15 15
4 Credit value for scoring (max = 120) 30 15 15 10 30 15 5 0
5 Weighting 3 3 3 3 2 2 1 n/a
6 Weighting x Credit Value 3x30 3x15 3x15 3x10 2x30 2x15 1x5
7 Add the results 90 45 45 30 60 30 5 =305
3 Cumulative credit value (max = 120) 30 45 60 70 100 115 130 over max of 120 n/a
She has 145 credits and can only count 120 for scoring purposes, so eliminate 25 credits with the least value - i.e. eliminate one of the passes and calculate a score for 5 credits of the remaining pass.
Now multiply 305 by 13 and divide by 12 and round the result to the nearest whole digit = 330.
