Anyone good at maths? Please help me workout what I need in third year to get a first

Hello all. I was wondering if someone clever and good at basic maths (which I'm clearly not) could help me work out what I need to average next year to achieve a first.

We work it out via the C-sore which goes like this:

For BA, BEng, BMus, BSc, BSc(Eng) & LLB degrees
• The marks of the best 90 credits at level 6 (and/or level 7 where taken) will be given a weighting of 5
• The mark for any remaining level 6 credits and any level 5 credits will be given a weighting of 3
• The mark for all level 4 credits will be given a weighting of 1.

The C Score ~ how is this determined?
Assuming that the criteria for the award have been met (this information can be found in your programme
handbook) all marks (except marks from designated introductory modules) will be used in the calculation of
the award of honours, the calculation is a formula commonly referred to as the C Score.
The C Score
A ‘C’ score will be calculated to the nearest whole number (0.5 rounded up and 0.4 rounded down) using the
following formula [see appendix 1 for an example]:
C =the sum of the weighted marks [mark x relevant credit volume x weight]
the sum of credit volume x weighting



My first year (level 4) results were as follows
61, 47, 40, 58, 66

My second year results (level 5) were
74, 74, 70, 69, 68, 67, 64, 62
