This article aims to assign meaning to the final grade obtained by the student in subject taught from the approach of Problem-Based Learning, considering the complexity of the synergistic perspective of KAA (Knowledge, Abilities and Attitudes). The methodological procedure is based on action research applied to an evening class of undergraduate students in Accounting and Actuarial Science. Data analysis was performed by means of correlation analysis and cluster, resulting in the formation of three clusters. Regarding the findings, we realize that the combination of KAA cannot be simply a sum of elements, but rather, synergistically, a set which provides conditions to understand whether the student at the end of the course, had the planned learning. It is important that students understand what it means to the overall course grade, as well as the notes of each element of the KAA, so they can understand which elements should be strengthened. In this way, continuous feedback is vital throughout the development of the course.
