Frequently asked questions
How the weighted average is worked out
How is the weighted average of exams worked out?
Each grade is weighted by the credits of its exam: a 30 in a 12 CFU exam counts twice as much as a 30 in a 6 CFU one. Multiply each grade by its CFU, add the results up and divide by the total CFU.
What is a CFU?
CFU, crediti formativi universitari, are the Italian university credits. One CFU stands for about 25 hours of study and matches one ECTS credit, so a full year is 60 CFU. Italian exams are graded out of 30, and 18 is the pass mark.
How does the weighted average differ from the plain one?
The plain average adds the grades and divides by the number of exams, ignoring the credits. The degree grade and many scholarships use the weighted one, and the two often differ by a few tenths.
How does 30 cum laude count in the average?
It depends on the university: in many it counts as 30, in others as 31 or more. Pick the value in the tool and the average updates. Pass or fail exams with no grade (idoneità) stay out of the average.
Does my data stay private?
Yes, and not because we promise it: this tool runs entirely inside your browser. What you type or upload never leaves your device, so it never reaches a server of ours and there is nothing we could keep, read or lose. You can check it yourself: open the page, disconnect from the internet, and the tool keeps working.
Do you store what I enter?
No. There is no database behind this tool: we do not store your files, your text or your results. When you close the tab nothing is left — not here with us, because it never arrived, and not anywhere else.
Do you profile me? Are you GDPR compliant?
We do not profile you: there is no account to create, we never ask for your email to use a tool, and we keep no profile of what you do. We are an Italian company and we work under the GDPR and the other European rules, with the privacy notice and the consent request in plain sight. One thing we say in full rather than hiding it behind a slogan: the ads are Google's, and Google may use cookies to personalise them. You decide from the consent banner: if you say no the ads stay, but they are not personalised, and the tool works exactly the same.
If it is free, how do you make money?
From advertising, and that is all. We do not sell your data, there is no hidden paid plan, there is no limit that eventually asks for your card, and you do not have to sign up. The ads pay for the servers and for the time we spend writing the tools: that is how we can keep them open to everyone.
