Please help me work out my exam results!! Very confused!
Hi,
I am alittle disappointed and upset with my results, however i am trying to work out what ive gotten already and what i need to achieve to level everything out and get a 2.1 atleast (60% overall).
I am studying Law, and the second year of my degree is worth 40% and the 3rd year is worth 60%.
At the moment, I have received the results of 3 modules for my second year which is worth 40% of my whole degree, in which I have gotten 45% 54% and 56%. However, there is another module for second year that i am yet to sit in September (due to mitigating circumstances), however I have submitted coursework that was worth 20% of this module, and received 58% in.
All these modules for 2nd year are worth 30 credits each.
Can anyone help me figure out what i will need to get in the module i am yet to sit in September to average out a 2.1 for 2nd year, regardless of how hard it may be?
Also for my 3rd year, which is worth 60% of my whole degree, what percentage would i need to average in all 4 modules to achieve a 2.1 overall, along with my 2nd year results?? All 4 modules that I am yet to take for 3rd year will also be worth 30 credits each.
Pleasse help me! i know this is confusing, but i just need someone to give me some direction so i know what to aim for, as i am truly disappointed with my results thus far, i wasnt expecting this!!
:'(
I appreciate any advice/ help anyone can give me with this!!
Thank you!!!!!

(0.45 * 0.25) + (0.54 * 0.25) + (0.56 * 0.25) + (0.58 * 0.25 * 0.2) = 0.4165.
0.60 - 0.4165 = 0.1835 / 0.2 = 91.75%
You need 91.75% to get a 2:1 for the year (assuming that this requires a 60% average). This is presumably completely impossible.
Hi thanks for your help!
I understand that i will probably end up with a 2.2 this year, which is worth 40% of my degree, However what about for my third year, which i will start this October?
I will be doing 4 modules, all 30 credits each and they will be worth 60% of my whole degree in my 3rd year.
If i end up with a 2.2, possibly 55% this year( my second year), what would i need to average in all 4 modules next year(third year) for me to achieve a 2.1 overall for my degree? surely a 60% overall in every module will not be enough as my second year results will bring my overall result down?
Im so confused!! thank you for your response!! its really helped! I appreciate it!

If you end up with 55% average for second year, and assuming that you need 60% overall for a 2:1, then:
[0.6 - (0.55 * 0.4) ] / 0.6 = 63.333%
You will need 63.33% average in third year for a 2:1

Hi, thanks for your reply again!! you are ever so helpful! atleast know i know what i need to aim for in each module.
Just want to clarify, assuming I achieve a 55% for my second year (worth 40%) and then 63% next year for my third year (worth 60% of my degree), will this still average out to a 2.1 overall, because my second year is worth less (40%) than my third year (which is worth the rest of the 60%)??
I'm not sure how the weightings will be worked out because one year is worth more than the other.
Thanks ever so much for your help!!
Its really appreciated!!!!!

That's what I just worked out.
63.3333% in third year, 55% in second year averages out to 60% overall because of the weightings.

oh right!! thank you ever so much!!! You have been a great help!
I worked out that if i am aiming for a 55% (mid 2.2) with just this paper i am to sit in September this year, i will need to hit 65% in this exam. However, if i do get 65%, how much will the mark of my coursework in which i got 58% ( worth 20% of this 30 credit module) bring my result of 65% down ( in the exam in September worth the rest of the 80% of the module)?
If you can help, please do, you're a star!!!!
