    I got a total gpa for my masters of 2.10-pass (krap I know ha)

    well I have my thesis to do over the summer and I need to know what grade I have to get to bring me up to a 2H2 classification.

    The thesis is worth the same credits as all the subjects that I have done.

    I have done 6 subjects, gpa's being: 2.0, 2.0, 2.4, 2.4, 1.6, 2.0

    thanks :)

    The GPA from those six subjects is 2.07. For a 2H2 you need 2.48 or better. Assuming the thesis is worth 6 subjects (30 credits), you need to get 2.90 or better = C+ (3.0).

    You got me wondering in case they had changed it, but the latest Modular Grades Explained document still says 2.48-3.07. A 2H1 requires 3.08 - 3.67, any better is a First.

    I'm nearly sure all theses are worth double the credits the exams are, for masters anyways (not guaranteeing this though)

    Not necessarily, for a lot of taught masters courses the minor thesis is worth 30 credits (equivalent to 1 semester of classes).
