The letter grades generally correspond to the following percentage ranges, though slight variations might occur depending on the specific course and assessment:
* HD (High Distinction): 85-100%
* D (Distinction): 75-84%
* C (Credit): 65-74%
* P (Pass): 50-64%
* N (Fail): 0-49%
Important Considerations:
* GPA Calculation: The GPA is calculated using numerical grade points assigned to each letter grade (e.g., HD might be 4, D 3, C 2, P 1, N 0). The exact point values used for each grade can vary.
* Course Specifics: The precise grading rubric and weighting of assessments can differ between courses and even individual units within a course. Always refer to your course handbook or the relevant unit outline for specific grading information.
* Competency-Based Assessment: Some TAFE SA courses may utilize a competency-based assessment system, where successful completion of specific skills and tasks leads to a 'competent' or 'not yet competent' outcome rather than a percentage grade. This isn't a traditional letter grade system.
To obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information on the grading system for a specific TAFE SA course, it's crucial to check the course handbook or unit outline provided by the institution.
