First class!!

Hello people,

In my previous posts I mentioned that i had difficulty with courseworks and got a measly 40 in my first 2nd year of law. Now finally after hours of hard work i am now getting firsts in all my courseworks thus far!! So proud of this. However, i need to figure out and hope someone will help me on this......
To get an overall first in each separate module (i have 4 in total for year 2) with first class courseworks in most which weigh 30% or 40% and exams weigh 60%, how many marks do i need to get in the exams in each module to get a first overall in the modules?

and in the one coursework i got 45 marks, how many marks would i need to get a 2:1 overall as getting a first in this is impossible

Also what's the best way to revise...I memorise and read stuff but can only remember it when i glance at the book (confusing i know) and not off the top of my head properly

also im not as motivated as i was last year :/

can't tell you anything if you don't tell me what weighting the essay has

i did in the post, it weighs either 30% or 40%- can't remember which one though

for 30%

45% * 30% = 12.5% achieved
Need 47.5% out of 70

An 68% to get a 2:i

for 40%

45* 40% = 18% achieved
Need 60% for a 2:i

and to get a 1st overall in the courseworks i got a first in?

for 30%

45% * 30% = 12.5% achieved
Need 47.5% out of 70

An 68% to get a 2:i

for 40%

45* 40% = 18% achieved
Need 60% for a 2:i

The second one should be 70% needed in exam to get a 2:1. I think you did 42% needed / 70% remaining. But there is only 60% remaining in this calculation as the hypothesis was that the essay counts for 40%. 42/60 = 70% needed.

The first one is also wrong. 45% * 30% is not 12.5%, it's 13.5%. Needed 46.5% out of 70% remaining = 66.5% needed.

Good job you're a lawyer and not an accountant

Hi Guys,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I could really do with some advice. I am currently a final year law student and desperately need help to get a 2:1. This year I have averaged at 55% for 1/6 of final year weighting (75% overall degree) For another module I have gained 68%. Please can you tell me what I am doing wrong to get 55% in essays. If I could maybe send you my essays and you could tell me what is wrong with my style of writing and arguments? Alternatively, I would really appreciate it if you guys have any good old formative assignments that you got high 2:1s/1:1s in that you wouldn't mind sharing? I am really stuck and honestly don't know where I am going wrong. My last year average was 58% but I need to get a 1st in my next essay and in some exams to do well PLEASE HELP ME :'(

I have seen them but they are not willing to cooperate with me. Do you have any advice?

I know University of Bristol. Why do you ask? They keep saying by final year you should know what you're doing and have such high expectations but clearly that's not true for me
