Final degree classification!!

Can anyone help me work out my final degree grade please?!!

I’m in University of South Wales. They use 2 methods and choose whichever gives the highest mark.

• Method 1 • Calculate the average of the marks from the best 60 credits at level 5 and the 120 credits at level 6.

• Method 2 • Calculate the average of the marks from the 120 level 6 credits.

Year 2
70 (40 credits)
70 (20 credits)
80 (20 credits)
62 (20 credits)
67 (20 credits)

Year 3
72 (20 credits)73 (20 credits)66.6 (20 credits)72.5 (20 credits)62.4 (40 credits)

Thank you in advance!!

Method 1
If we treat each 40-credit module as two 20-credit modules, then I make the best 60 credits at level 5 to be 80, 70 and 70 and the 120 credits at level 6 (i.e. all of them) to be 72, 73, 66.6, 72.5, 62.4 and 62.4. That's an average of 69.88. They might round that to a 1st.

Method 2
That's simply the average of 72, 73, 66.6, 72.5, 62.4 and 62.4, which is 68.15.

So, method 1 gives the highest mark. You'd need to check whether their rules allow them to round 69.88 or not.
