Answer 1

Answer:

Steps to Reviewing it:

1. Look for the unweighted and Total GPA
2. Look at the individual grades for the various subjects by semester then by GP.
3. Look at the explanation of marks
4. Finally look at the comments made on the report

Sections drawn to:

• Total GPA
• Grades in certain courses such as Computer Science, Commerce and Chemistry.
• Comments from teachers

Important to me

• That I pass all my subjects as much as possible and cause my teachers less grief.

Important to my parents

• That I pass all my subjects by the best margins possible.

Actions if something looks wrong:

• Investigate on my own first for instance, if a grade is not what it should be, go through term papers and be sure of the results.
• Go to relevant authority to complain.
