Common questions
How are CAPE grades reported?
CAPE reports seven overall grades, I through VII, along with profile grades A through G.
Does internal assessment count toward CAPE?
Yes for subjects with an Internal Assessment component. Its weight depends on the syllabus and unit.
Are CAPE Unit 1 and Unit 2 calculated together?
Each unit receives its own result. Enter one unit's components at a time unless your institution has asked you to calculate a separate combined average.
Is there one percentage for each CAPE grade?
No universal public conversion works for every subject and session. Use subject-specific guidance or boundaries supplied by your school.
