Performance summary
You have a strong credit profile. Check required subjects for your target course.
A1-C6 are usually considered credit grades. D7/E8 are passes. F9 is fail.
Step-by-step example
If a student enters English B3, Mathematics C4, Biology A1, Chemistry C5, and Physics C6, the profile shows two distinctions or better, three credit grades, no passes, and no fails. The student should still confirm required subjects for the chosen school or course.
