PG= AQ +CS + TT *60% + (LG* 40%)
3
Midterm Grade
MG = AQ +CS + TT (60%) + LG (40%) MCA= PG + 2(MG)
3 3
Final Grade
FG= AQ +CS + TT (60%) + LG (40%) FCA= PG+2(FG)
3 3
Where:
LG- Laboratory grade
CS – Class Standing
AQ – Average quizzes
TT – Term Test
PG – Prelim Grade
MG – Midterm Grade
SFG – Semifinal Grade
FG – Final Grade
MCA- Midterm Cumulative Average
SFCA- Semi-Final Cumulative Average
FCA- Final Cumulative Average
FTT- Final Term Test
FEx- Final Examination
CE- Comprehensive Examination
