2 bs one b- and 2 IX .... Now if I had only put proper effort in ! This semester, things will be different...... I hope

wcedar

A couple of Bs, an A... and then a D and the narrowest E imaginable. I'm *drum roll* 0.3 percentage points into compensation territory. Phew.

Of course with a grade as tenuous as 30.3% there's probably a risk the final results could drop me out of compensation since the tiniest change to the exam grade is bad news. Since I'm an 2nd year Arts student (hence the poor grade? ) am I going to have to wait until the end of the third year until I know if I've compensated this?

Actually, I believe you're both wrong - Arts is 50/50 2nd/3rd year. So that 3.37 is over 18 modules (3 semesters worth), not one. So it's actually

3.08 * 4 = 12.32 - (3*3.37) = 2.21 GPA needed for this semester to get a 2.1

My bad. Posted before reading it was for degree calculation and not just the year.

Hi, I currently have a Stage 2 gpa of 2.91..

What kind of grades am I looking at to get a 2.2/ is it possible?

I'm currently sitting on 4 E's which I hope to be able to compensate at the end of the degree.

3.68.... But you'd want 5 or 6 A+s

3.68 is the official cut-off, but I'd assume you'd have to be well above that to get the scholarship? Does anyone know what grade has received it in the past?

Yeah, it's around 3.8 or something as far as I know.

Don't see what the problem is. You certainly got pass-by-compensa
Oh.

Hey guys , so i got 4As and 2 Es. Just wondering do I have to drop the repeats in order to compensate or do I have to do anything .

3.08 is minimum for a 2:1 for 1 semester.
x 2 semesters = 6.16.
Minus what you already have (- 3.37) = 2.79

You need to get at least 2.79 this semester, and you'll have your 2:1.

Thanks for the maths, is it possible for me to get a 1.1 this semester?

EDIT: I mean overall not this semester, I havent been putting in a lot of work thus far so I reckon I could pull it off if it were possible

Does anyone know, if someone gets an E grade in a level 1 module and the module page says that it is possible to pass that module by compensation what the story is?

Had thought that all Level 1's could no longer be passed by compensation. Same with Level 0, 4 and 5. Could be the page is not updated yet but you'd probably have to enquire from them to find out. What does your credit statement/results page show you about compensation?

It's for my partner, I'm finished in UCD and confused about the changes! Yeah I read about the Level 1s, but then http://www.ucd.ie/students/resits_repeats/ said to check the module itself, but maybe that's for someone sitting a level 1 who started prior to 2013. The compensation column is empty.

Maldesu

Best idea would be to give the student desk a shout and see what they say. I think there had been a rule saying that if you were repeating the level 1, that compensation was available, but not for any new students. Check it with them though

Quick question if anyone knows - I (narrowly) got an E in one of my level 2 modules, so I'm eligible for compensation. Thing is apparently if you're resitting an exam you have to register by tomorrow. Since there are just the provisional results, if I was unlucky and got brought down in the final results and was no longer able to compensate would I still be able to register for a repeat? Hopefully this doesn't happen since I haven't had any change in final results vs. provisional so far, but it's still a risk.
