Pass, 76%Each percentage is rounded to a whole number, weighted and added: 76% × 25% + 72% × 25% + 81% × 20% + 77% × 30% = 76% after rounding.

How AAT works out the grade

Each assessment’s raw marks become a percentage, rounded to the nearest whole number: 75.5% becomes 76% and 82.1% becomes 82%.
Each percentage is weighted by the assessment’s contribution: 25%, 25%, 20% and 30%.
The weighted figures are added: 90% to 100% is a Distinction, 80% to 89% a Merit and 70% to 79% a Pass.
Every assessment must be passed at 70% or more, or the qualification is unclassified.
