UCL medicine - how hard is it to score above 70.0?

for those in their 2nd or above years, how hard is it to score above 70.0 overall at the end of the year? that equates to a pass with merit, right?

no. pass with merit is roughly the top 20% of each year for both years. it's all relative to how you fit into your cohort.

For a first, 70%, but if you want the merit/disctinction with your degree more is needed.

There is no grading of the medical degree in terms of 1st, 2:1, 2:2 etc.

The marks from first and second year do make a contribution to the classification of your iBSc however. I think the weighting is 1:1:8 this year.

Very hard to say how hard it is to get a merit, depends entirely on the person. I know some who did no work all year crammed and Easter and did excellently. Likewise I know people who worked all the way through and didn't. By nature of the way it is awarded only a fifth or so of students can get one.

Just an MBBS but for your compulsory iBsc, you get a degree classification :smile:
