Passing grades for final quizzes are determined using the Angoff method, a recognised approach for setting assessment standards.

Rather than using the same passing score for every course, the required mark is based on the difficulty of the questions in each individual assessment.

How the passing grade is set

For each final quiz:

1. A panel of at least six subject matter experts reviews every question.
2. Each expert estimates whether a minimally qualified candidate would be expected to answer the question correctly.
3. The panel then reviews each other's ratings and can adjust their assessments.
4. The final passing grade is calculated by averaging the panel's assessments.

This process helps ensure the passing grade reflects the difficulty of the assessment rather than an arbitrary percentage.

How difficult is the final quiz?

Final quizzes are designed to assess whether you've achieved the expected level of knowledge for the course.

Courses typically combine learning materials, quizzes, and practical activities to help prepare you for the final assessment and to apply your knowledge in real-world situations.

Because the passing grade is based on the Angoff method, it may differ between courses depending on the assessed level of difficulty.
