    What percentage is the theory worth?

    My project was horrible because I was off sick for a month and rushed it in the end, and it turned out bad..really bad.

    Project = 66.6%
    Test = 33.3%

    I'm sure your project was better than you thought :)

    In Ordinary Level:
    Project is worth a total of 200 marks (folio = 50, realisation = 150)
    Test is worth a total of 100 marks (Section A = 40, Section B = 60)

    In Higher Level:
    Project is worth a total of 200 marks (folio = 70, realisation = 130)
    Test is the same as Ordinary Level.

    Therefore the tests at both levels are only equal to 100/300 marks, aka 33.3%

    Where did you get this? Our teacher told us that the portfolio is worth more than the actual project.

    And every written exam I've taken in Woodwork was 200 marks, not 100.

    Then again, it was probably because it was a paper on it's own and they didn't want every mark to equal a per cent... well this is bad news.

    Page 4 of this link offers marks given in the project section.

    The marks for the tests are on the front of each section of every paper.

    Yeah I know it says 100 marks but if you look at one of the marking schemes they actually mark it out of 200, I don't even know why.

    So that would make it:

    Project 60%
    Exam 40%

    Which would make more sense, because if you hadn't done a project it basically prevents you from passing.
