Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a hurdle requirement in Australian universities?
A hurdle requirement is a mandatory component of a course. Common in Australia, it means you must score at least 45% or 50% on a specific assessment (usually the final exam) to pass the entire course, regardless of how well you did on other assignments.
How is my current running mark calculated?
Your current running mark is the weighted average of all assessments you have entered marks for so far. It represents your current grade in the course, ignoring any assessments you haven't taken yet. If you need to track standard US assignments, you can use our grade calculator.
Can I enter my marks as a fraction (e.g., 18/20)?
Yes. The calculator accepts raw percentages (e.g., 85) and fractions (e.g., 18/20 or 18 out of 20). It automatically converts fractions into percentages for the final calculation.
What are the standard Australian grade bands?
Standard bands are: High Distinction (HD) for 85-100%, Distinction (D) for 75-84%, Credit (C) for 65-74%, Pass (P) for 50-64%, and Fail (F) for below 50%. Some universities may have slight variations. For students in India, we also offer an Indian SGPA calculator.
Is my academic data saved when I use this tool?
No. All calculations happen directly in your web browser. We do not collect, save, or transmit your assessment names or grades.
