Mark Determination / Mature Student Status

The final blended mark for each of these courses is made up of 50% derived from the school-awarded mark and 50% of the Diploma Exam mark - except where mature student status applies.

For students with Mature Student Status, the final mark is determined by either the blended mark (school-awarded mark plus Diploma Exam mark) or the Diploma Exam mark only, depending on which is the highest mark.
