If you want to calculate your CWA, the formula used is:
`(sum(UnitCredits*UnitMarks))/(sum(UnitCredits))`
The mark for each completed unit must be multiplied by the credit weighting of the unit.
For example:
| Unit | Credits | Mark |
|---|---|---|
| Unit 1 | 12.5 | 57 |
| Unit 2 | 25 | 60 |
| Unit 3 | 25 | 63 |
| Unit 4 | 25 | 67 |
Multiply the Unit Credits by your Unit Marks:
`12.5 * 57 = 712.5`
`25.0 * 60 = 1500`
`25.0 * 63 = 1575`
`25.0 * 67 = 1675`
So,
`(sum(UnitCredits*UnitMarks) ) / (sum(UnitCredits)) = (712.5 + 1500 + 1575 + 1675)/(12.5 + 25.0 + 25.0 + 25.0) = 5462.5/87.5 = 62.43`
Calculated CWA in this example is 62.43.
