If I have a B- in class and I take a final and get an F will that make me fail the class or do I get like a D?

Question

HELP, I GOT AN F ON MY FINAL, BUT I CAN RETAKE IT, I ALREADY HAVE A B- IN CLASS, I WAS WONDERING IF THAT WOULD ONLY LOWER IT TO LIKE A D, OR WOULD I FAIL FOR SURE

Answer 1

u might have a low C  

Answer 2

i dont know. you have to give exact numbers  

Answer 3

No you will probably have a low C

Answer 4

it all depends. if you go like anything lower then a 55 its a low c, if you got anything higher then a 55 i feel that your lowest grade would be about a 75

Answer 5

Depends on how many points the final was worth for your total grade.  My son had one teacher who made his finals with 20% and another teacher who made his tests be worth 90%.  The numbers are necessary to know how much weight the final had in your total.

Answer 6

sorry but you will fail. they usually go on ur final exam they do when i was in school maybe your school is different. good luck x

Answer 7

it depends on the weight of the final.  if the final is worth 50% of your grade, it might fail you. check your syllabus to be sure.  

Answer 8

Most likely, you passed. Unless your finals are heavily weighted; like 50% of your grade or more.

Answer 9

It depend on the percentage of the final.  

Answer 10

Nobody on here can genuinely know the answer to that question.

Different classes have different weighted finals.

Answer 11

Most grades are done by percentages.  Let's say that 85% is your class average, then 15 % would be the final. Add them together and that is your grade. Did you pass?  

Answer 12

How many points is the final worth; how many points have you earned so far in the class; what percentage of your grade is the final worth? This is going to be based on the weight of the grades, not just on the designation.

Answer 13

it depends on how many points your final exam was worth, and how many points are possible to get in the class.

Answer 14

first of all, one would need to know how low or high of a B- you had for starters. and one would also need to know how low or high of a F you received.

for instance, if both were high, you could realistically end up with a C-. if both were low, you could end up with a F.

there isn't enough information within your question to really give you an answer.

Answer 15

There is no way for anyone here to answer that question. Every school system sets their own rules for grading. The grading scale could be different from one district to another. In addition, it would depend upon the weight that the Final has towards your overall grade. For example, in the district I work, a Final exam is 1/10th of the student's overall grade for the class. In a college class it might be as much as half of the grade.
