It depends on the exact percentages you get in this 30% essay and in the earlier 10% essay

so i do three modules, and in each one i have a 10%. in the 10% in one module i got 62, in another i got 67 and another i got 66.
if i get a mid 2:2 in the 30% essays (one for each module), can i get a 2:1 overall with 2:1 in the exam? just working with rough estimates here more or less i know but just on average?

If by "mid 2:2" you mean 55% then:
Assuming each module is worth 10 credits (not that it matters):
Module 1:
•
55% in 3 credit essay = 1.65 credits
•
62% in 1 credit essay = 0.62 credits
•
62.2% in 6 credit exam = 3.73 credits
Module 2:
•
55% in 3 credit essay = 1.65 credits
•
67% in 1 credit essay = 0.67 credits
•
61.3% in 6 credit exam = 3.68 credits
Module 3:
•
55% in 3 credit essay = 1.65 credits
•
66% in 1 credit essay = 0.66 credits
•
61.5% in 6 credit exam = 3.69 credits
they're worth 20 credits but yeah it's still the same idea. thanks so much for this!
so does that basically mean if i get low ish 2:1 percentages in my exams i'll get 2:1 overall in module?
