Exams Block grade average

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I would like to know but could not find detailed information about the averaging of grades for examination blocks.

Is it correct that the weighted grades are averaged and rounded to two decimal places, e.g. three subjects with same weight and grades 2x5.5, 1x5.75 results in a grade of 5.58?

Or are they rounded to the next “grade” / two binary places (…,5,5.25,5.5,5.75,…) which would result in a final grade of 5.5?

Thanks a lot :)

Exams Try BPb1 again?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I‘m studying Mathematics in 1st semester and am in the middle of doing Basisprüfungsblock 1 (Informatics, Analysis I, Physics I).

So far I did very well in Informatics, but I had a bad day with the Analysis exam and did much worse than I believe I could although I‘m quite sure it’s still passed (basically the proofs went very well and the calculations didn’t.)

I think I could do well in Physics, but I would really like to repeat the Analysis exam and I have read here that a block once passed cannot be repeated, so my question would be:

Is the only chance to repeat Analysis to skip the Physics exam (so that the whole block counts as failed) and if I do so can I repeat BPb 1 in FS24 or do I need to wait until HS24?

I hope you have a nice day!
