If you fail a final can you still pass a class?

Question

I've actually been doing really good all year round in my environmental science class, I've been passing with 80's to almost 90's. With that being said, if I were to fail the final, would I still have a chance of passing the class?

Answer 1

Yep absolutely! Although your general mark would be considerably lower you will be able to pass :) What a lot of people don't know is that the final mark is based on class evaluation and not on exams.

That being said, you should be able to pass this exam if you've had 80's to almost 90's so far :)

Answer 2

Since an exam is generally 20% of your mark, that means (for most classes) you need to have at least 75% in the class going into the exam. For example if you had a 75 going into the exam, wrote your name on the exam handed it in then walked out, you would still pass. So you're good. :)
