QUOTE(xKAIZERUx @ Nov 25 2009, 06:46 PM) wow. best gile uni camnie.... lol I have an F on my transcript that is not counted in my CGPA because I retook the class. The new grade I have replaces it lolmy uni if failed, they wont replace your grade for that subject. even if you get an A, that is 4.00. the actual result for your subject is 2.00 coz it is (0+4)/2 that is if you get an A. |

QUOTE(azarimy @ Jun 10 2009, 11:29 PM) i never said it will replace entry of the failed subject in the transcripts. no IPTA would do that. nope..uia is indeed applied diff system as compared with other ipta in malaysia..if im not mistaken other ipta such as uitm if u failed n repeat the paper then ur second time after u ave passed will only be counted right..?? but in uia if u failed the first time..it will still be counted..n the second time u take..n u passed will only be added a few point to ur cgpa..retaking a subject will replace the failed credit points, which means ur cgpa will be recalculated. if the failed credit points is not recalculated, then it will create a loophole where a student can take a 2 credit subject 35 times to fulfill the 70credits requirement for a degree. since UIA is still an IPTA, i'm pretty sure they use the exact same method i've mentioned in this topic. but like i've mentioned before, it will not replace the entry in the transcripts. if u failed a subject and passed it the second time, u will have two entries: the first entry is the one u failed, the second is the one u passed. look at the cgpa, and u'll realize that it has been recalculated. for example.. if u failed the first time n the credit hour is 3 n u only get 1.67 then the second time u take u get 3.00 den u will be counted as 3.00 with 3 credit hour right..?? in uia if that had happened u will counted as 6 credit hours (since u take the 3 credit hour twice.. hence QUOTE(azarimy @ Jun 10 2009, 11:29 PM) now, how do u calculate ur CGPA when u have a repeated subject? here's the main rule: u recalculate the repeated subject by replacing the old grade with the new one. it means, in ur CGPA calculation, u never failed ur subject R, u actually scored A! lets see what it looks like: this method actually never exists in uia..[(grade points for sem 1) + (grade points for sem 2 excluding the failed subject) + (grade points for sem 3)] / [(credit for sem 1) + (credit for sem 2 excluding the failed subject) + (credit for sem 3)] [(32) + (39 - 0) + (39)] / [(11) + (14 - 3) + (12)] = 110 / 34 = 3.24 CGPA! a lot of students made the mistake of including the failed subject into the calculation despite having repeated it. here's what the wrong calculation usually looks like: |

This however does not apply to all universities everywhere.
In my university, retaking a subject would mean that the maximum score you can obtain is a grade C. Which means even though you've scored enough to give you an A, the grades will be maxed out at C |

currently you have: 250 x 2.72 = 680points
if next semester u get 3.33 out of 50credit hours, then: 50 x 3.33 = 166.5points 680 + 166.5 = 846.5points total. divide this by 300 credit hours that u have completed, u will get 2.81cgpa. -------------------------------------- assuming u're trying to get 3.00cgpa: next semester score A for everything = 50 x 4.00 = 200points 680 + 200 = 880points total. 880 / 300 = 2.93cgpa. so no, u're not gonna get 3.00 even if u score 4 flat next semester. |

@azarimy
I had some questions that I had in mind. Based on what you wrote, you said that if I resit for my subject and I did passed, that subject will not be calculated into the cgpa(if my interpretation is correct)? |

QUOTE(lfcreds91 @ Sep 20 2011, 05:10 PM) lets say if i fail only one subject, and i completed the attendance and coursework depends on the nature of ur appeal.do i only retake the exam, or the whole subject? usually, after the semester ends, the exam results will be announced, normally within 2 weeks. u should be able to check senarai tampal either online or printed. they will give u about 7 days to appeal for the results. if u do so during this period, depending on the nature of ur appeal, they might grant u to retake the exam. but if u do not appeal during the grace period, u will have to repeat the entire subject next semester. |
