. Computation of Scores
Passing Score = 60 %
Prelim Score (PS) = Quizzes (50%) + Exam (50%)
Midterm Score (MS) = 4 ers) (aus)
RMS = Quizzes (50%) + Exam (50%)
Final Score (FS) = 3(s)-4 (Rus) 4(ReS)
RFS = Quizzes (50%) + Exam (50%)
Note: Scores are transmuted to an equivalent grade where a score of at least 60% would be the minimum passing grade of 75.
