__ Assessments that contribute to your attainment grade in your report __ A term grade is based on the average of all assessments from the start of the course up to the end of that term. || The table below shows the grade boundaries used for end of unit tests, the planning investigation and the term grades. However, grade boundaries may need to be adjusted for some assessments.
