    Hi, just wondering if someone could clarify how the maths is graded? I understand that continuous assessment is worth 40% and paper 1 and paper 2 are worth 30% each. I'm confused by what it says in the student handbook:
    'A student will have passed if the mark in the continuous assessment component is at least 35% [14 out of 40] and the overall module mark is at least 40%.'
    This may be a stupid question but I don't understand where they are getting the 14 out of 40?

    If I fail my written exams and get less than 40% in continuous assessment, can I still pass the module with both of them together?
