Sorry to necro the thread but I received about a 55-56 average in 2nd year, my course is 25% second year, 75% third year. Is it still possible for me to get a 2:1 overall?
yeah for sure. you would need to get a 62% in third year to get a 2:1 overall which isnt too hard

I got 56% in 2nd year (worth 30%) and next year is worth 70%. Possible to get 2.1?
Obviously.

You'll need to average about 62% in your final year for a 2.1, or 76% for a first.

Almost certainly - if you manage to get about 62% or more in your 3rd year, then due to the 3rd year being worth a lot more it is almost certainly possible to get a 2.1 - assuming that a 2.1 is equivalent to 60% (like most universities).

Yeah I just actually worked out via a calculator it was 61.7% or something like that - so my guess of 62 was really close!

Thanks guys, that makes me feel better. I am a hardworking student; it's just the assignments let me down, need to get round them! In order to taste success you have to hit lows in your life, I guess.
I know someone who barely scraped 40% in their second year and still ended up with a 2.1. If you put in the work you can do it.
I got 59.1% in 2nd year (worth 30%) and next year is worth 70%. What do I need to get in my third year to get 2.1?

you should be damn sorry. I read half way down the page before I realised it was 2011. the op could be fairy dust for all we know.
if the thread is so old, just make a new one. jeez louis.
Why did you bump a year old thread?!
Alright, the thread has been bumped a few times but if it's more than 6 months old, unless there's a good reason not to, create a new thread instead.

Hi I'm in the same boat I've just got my results for second year and got a High 2.2 (58.5) I'm assuming that I can work hard for a 2.1 but how many 2.1 grades do I need for the majority of the modules? My course and uni is 20% of my second year and 80% of my third year...?

Just noticed this is an ancient thread, with multiple bumpings along the way. Am reporting for thread close as it's too old.
I think it depends on your university and the courses.

Do you know what percentages their 2nd year and 3rd year accounted for

Yes for sure. I went into final year with with a borderline first class and needed a strong first to graduate with a 2.1 I documented my story and how i did this in my tsr thread:
http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2423861&p=43849614#post43849614
The key point is yes it is possible and if its a first you really want then go for it!

A very high mark, but without more details no-one can tell you exactly what.
This thread is a 4 year old thread. Might be best to stick to something more recent (or create a new thread).

This is rather odd. The post to which I replied was made very recently, probably only a day or so ago, but has now disappeared from this thread. I know it's not a very old post because that user, yasminchoukri1, only joined TSR last month.
