A Levels "U" grade

[shaty002]

Dear all,

I could never get my head around O/A-Levels, and now want to ask about A-Levels grading and its impact on admission. So the story goes like:

One of my cousins applied for COMSATS Islamabad. The degree program requires 60% marks for admission. The gentleman in question cleared all entry tests etc and got provisional admission offer.

However now that A-Levels results are out, he got E, E and U. Now, his O-Levels score was good (82% in equivalence) and if a simple conversion is performed the aggregate is still above 60%. What I am not sure about is the U grade. Can one get admission in university (specifically CIIT) with a U grade in A-Levels?

Any help/hint in this regard will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

i think below 50% is U it means ungraded

[hash4u]

he should retake all the A level's again
i dont think even preston uni or al khair would entertain him with this result

U used to be 40%. but they keep changing it.

[shaty002]

According to IBCC, U is 0%. But the point that is confusing me is that even with this U as 0%, aggregate percentage is more than 60%. But IBCC has requirement of having 'E' as minimum grade for issuing equivalence certificate. Anyhow, I guess I'd have to visit IBCC and COMSATS to find out.

his equivalence is still below 60%.

I had the equivalence table somewhere, but I'm not sure if they change it or what...

but EEU is a very bad result. He should reappear. Otherwise he'll get admitted into $hit university and waste more time.

A friend of mine had a U grade in business studies in A levels , he got provisional admission in BNU and studied media studies there for an year until just now he passed the same subject with a C grade or otherwise he would've been kicked out of university if he didnt clear the requirement of the the university itself
Im amazed by listening to EEU :O
Hundreds of juniors got straight A's and A*s this year , Cambridge marking criteria is far lenient as compared to when we used to be in Alevels
I'd suggest u him to retake the same exam this November and pass it atleast with a C and then apply for equivalence so he can get atleast an admission in a W rating university; instead of applying uni's now and wasting time

U means, he is gonna take A levels again simple ...

[vickybhai]

He can get conditional admission only if the university has the policy about it ...or else he has to repeat all subjects

Thanks fellows Spoke to COMSATS about it. Admission stands cancelled, A-Levels repeat. I did FSc myself where aur kuch na ho Fail ho to saaf saaf batate hain ke Fail ho. A-Levels wale to fail hone ko bhi adab se "U" keh dete hain aur mere jaise bechare confuse ho jate hain

u=undraded in easy words below 50% which means fail

[jz]

Bro U grade basically means UNGRADED i.e below 40th percentile. Anyways what ur cousin hav to do is that he should retake the paper in which he got a U or give another easier paper lyk full crdt URDU so he has three complete credits. He should join COMSATS uni and should provide them with an affidavit that he will clear this one subject. Even if he gets an E in the subject he will still hv above 60% marks in A lvl equivalence...so no worries..

@shaty

on the lighter side

with such grades u should strangle the kid like Homer simpson does to Bart when he is angry at him

[vickybhai]

U grade does not appear on grade sheet so equivalency can be made on remaining E's...but then the equivalency will be lower

[mubeenshahid]

U grade is considered below 50%.And below that is considered fail in O/A levels.
