ok, u must have messed up ur exams ...  :(

so ... ur saying if 45.5% is a D

if u got 5% in p3
25% in p1
and 17% in p6
total= 47%

will u get a D?

ok ... this is a hard question,

i think u should add up marks, so ...

5% in p3 = 4 marks
17% in p6 = 6.8 (7) marks
25% in p1 = 10 marks
total = 21

maximum marks u can get in bio. is 160

(21/160) x 100 = 13.125%

i dont think that's a D, sorry mate but it looks like ur re-sitting  :(
