    I still don`t understand.I submitted a feedback request form today anyway.I got 40% in my CA and 32% in my exam.Can i use the "Pass by Compesation"? .On the website it says:
    What does 'Pass by Compensation' mean?
    If you got an overall module mark of 35-39% or a module grade of Module Compensation, you are in what is called the 'Pass by Compensation' range. This means that you can use marks from other modules to make up the marks that you are short. For example, if you get 36% in Module A and 45% in Module B, you can use 4% from module B to get your result up to 40% in Module A.


    How is overall module mark calculated?Is (CA + Exam)/2 ?Or should i have between 35-39% in my exam only?
    Thank you!

    It says module mark in what you quoted. You'll have to work out your module mark based on what wait is put on the exam and what is put on continuous assessment. Your module mark will be CA mark * CA weight + Exam Mark * Exam Weight.

    If that was 50 50, then you would have a module mark of 50% * 40 + 50% * 32 = 36% which puts you in the range for compensation. (just about)

    I actually got 49 in the CA and 32 in the Exam.
    50% * 49 + 50% * 32 = 40.5
    How comes?It says if overall module mark is 35-39% , mine is 40% ...
