I’ve
been doing some calculations because I’m bored.
My
current CAP is 4.33 over 3 sems, meaning a Total Points of 13. I wanted to
calculate what I need to get to secure my 2nd upper class honors, so
here are just some random calculations I did.
1)
For my CAP
to drop below 4 after next semester, I would have to get a B- average (CAP of
2.96) next sem
2)
To graduate
with 2nd upper honors, I would need a Total Points of (4x7 = 28) (assuming
I go on SEP and freeze CAP for one Semester, that’s why multiply by 7 and not
8)
That means I need 28-13 = 15 points for my remaining 4 semesters. That’s
an average of CAP 3.75 for each semester, or B+ average for two semesters, B
average for 2 semesters.
3)
That means
for the coming semesters, any semester in which I get a CAP of above 3.75 =
that amount less I need for subsequent semesters. (e.g. If I get 4.0 next sem,
I only need 3.5 the subsequent sem)
4)
Assuming I
do well (CAP 4.5) next sem, I only need a B average for the remaining sems.
5)
Assuming I do
badly for next sem (CAP < 3.5), I need a 3.83 CAP average for the remaining
sems.
