Help calculating average grade

I am in third year and I just received my semester one results for this year, and I am averaging at 69% so far this year. In second year I got 65% average. I don't understand how they calculate the final degree mark at Keele, but I have heard its half your second year mark and then your third year mark? Does anyone know how they do do it though and what I am on so far then?


Thanks
Yeh, add up all the marks you got in second year, for example,
67 56 59 68 49 69 51 55 = 474
divide by 2 because second year only counts a third,
474/2 = 237
then add up the marks you got first semester third year, for example,
57 65 61 55 = 238
so you have an aggregate mark so far of,
237+238= 475
a 2:1 needs an aggregate mark of 720, so you would need to get,
720(aggregate mark) - 475(2nd year marks and first half of 3rd year marks) = 245
245/4(remaining 2nd semester modules) = 61.25

So in you remaining 4 modules you'd need 61.25 to get your 2:1.

Keele weights BSc weightings as 33% 2nd Year, 67% third year.
If you're doing a 4 year course it's 20%, 30% and 50% respectively.
