Your grade has 2 components: 1. the preliminary grade, which is formed with minor tests and oral performances during the 2nd semester. 2. the assessment test at the end of the 2nd semester. Here are examples in examination subjects such as mathematics, German, physics, VWL/BWL: Example 1: You have a grade of 4 as a preliminary grade during the semester. In the assessment test at the end of the 2nd semester you have a grade of 2. The report card grade is calculated as follows: 4 (preliminary grade) + 2 (exam) = 6; 6:2 = 3 In this case, you will receive a grade of 3 on the FSP report card. Example 2: You have a preliminary grade of 3 during the semester. On the day of the assessment test you have a bad day and get a grade of 5. 3 (preliminary grade) + 5 (exam) = 8 8:2 = 4 Also in this case you have passed and will receive a grade of 4 on your FSP certificate.
