Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Degree Classification help

What would I get if I had the following results?
1st year. 45%
2nd year 56%
3rd year 70%

Using these weightings which I don't understand (should they not add up to 10, or is it just 45+56x3+70x5 all over 9?)

Thanks

Year 1: [Sum of best 4 half-units + (1/2) sum of remaining 4 half-units]/6
i.e. worst 4 half-units are half-weighted

Year 2 and 3: [Sum of best 6 half-units + (1/2) sum of remaining 2 half-units]/7
i.e. worst 2 half-units are half-weighted

Year 4: Average of all results.

Final mark for the degree programme is obtained as a weighted average of these year averages (weighted 1:3:5 for BSc students and 1:3:5:5 for MSci students). The final class of degree is based on this weighted average. Various factors are taken into account, but the following ranges of marks are taken as guidelines for the class of degree normally awarded:

Every Uni and every course has a different marking/grading system.

You need to contact your own Dept at your own Uni to get the answer to this question.
