    Hey guys, in regards to passing by compensation.
    I know you have to have a GPA of 2.0 or over, but does this mean a GPA of 2.0 before compensation is applied or after it is, as a compensated module carries a GPA of 1.6 so that would drag your GPA down???

    An E has a GPA of 1.6. So currently your GPA already considers that, if you compensate it the GPA for it is still 1.6, so your GPA will not change by compensating a module. If you get a GPA of 2.0 or above at the end of the year, you will compensate up to 3 E grades. So your GPA already accounts for that 1.6. Hope that makes sense.

    Thanks so much for your reply Muir, that makes perfect sense.
    Can't believe I didn't realise this before, need to stop worrying so much, and thinking more!

    And we drop the resit of the E grade if we intend to compensate right?

    You're welcome. Yep, drop the resit for it.
