How much revision would you do?
I’m in my final semester of uni, and I’ve done the calculations, and assuming my dissertation gets a reasonably good grade, so long as I simply pass these exams with 40%, I should get a 2:1.
Alternatively - to push for a first, I will need to have gotten 75% on my dissertation (possible but highly unlikely), and also get an average of 75% across these exams.
Which approach would you take? Have a relaxed final exam period, studying a good amount but not stressing about it, or put every ounce of effort in this final push and maybe, just maybe, come out with a first. But also very possibly still not.
Is it worth it? I’m strongly leaning no.

Have you gotten a job offer? If yes, then no stress, just chill. If not, then maybe you should try to get a higher score. Secure the future a bit more? Especially if your field is more academically inclined or competitive.
