    Worried about degree classification
    Im a joint, which means year 2, year three (sem1) and year 3 (Sem2) or all worth exactly a third

    In year 2 i scored 56% average and in year 3 sem 1 I scored 63% average. together that means i have averaged 59% in exactly 2/3 of my degree.

    So now im really worried... this semesters work is really hard.. so if I get even C+'s then ill graduate with a 2:2... which is really frustrated, and disappointing.

    also, I am dyslexic

    Im at Bangor uni too, has anyone had any experience where they pushed their grade up?

    You can drop out after one year, but id apply first, then drop out, incase you dont get it.. apply soon in Sept/Oct so you get a quick reply. Say you did one year in sports rehab.. aim for a 2:1 for that year then u can add that to your CV
