A-Level results and degree classification are not strongly correlated. the majority of graduates get a 2.1 classification, about 10% get a 1st (remainder getting 2.2s, 3rds, fail).
in general, you have to be a very high performer to get a 1st, where as most hard working people get 2.1s.

thanks
but would say getting a first be like getting A at A level, 2.1 a B, 2.2 a C or is it impossible to relate grades like this? just that my A level standard is only C/D (partly coz ive been lazy) so wondering if its possible for me to get a 1st or 2.1alio

yeah, most people than go on to do MA/MSc get a 2.1 in their undergraduate degree.
Degrees and A-Levels grades are quite different.
I have just completed my degree in BA(hons) Business Management + IT with 2:1.
It depends on the course how difficult a degree is. For example, economics is very boring and complex (especailly the ethnics side) as is med. Whereas mine was a lot more pratical based looking at real-life situations, which could be backed with numerous articles.
I kind of went through clearing for uni, because i wasn't planning on getting to university with my grades, which were:
Physics: E
Electronics: E
AS Computing: B
AS Business: N
AS Maths: U
Not the best as you can see, I hadn't even applied to UCAS, yet ended up at the University of Hull. (Saved myself that stupid admin fee and alot of time applying)
I am now going on to do a MA at University of Leeds.
My friends got A's at A-level and came out with 2:2. So as you can see further education and higher education differ a far bit.

the good news alio is that if you want a first you can get a first.
it requires a lot of effort and a lot of dedication (and probably some sacrifice) but there is no reason not to be able to get one.
as has been said before most people get a 2.1/2.2
intrestingly, its those who went to private schools that usually get 2.2 and those who went to state schools that get 2.1 or at least thats what they tell us at Exeter.

at university 70% and above = 1st class; 60-69% is a 2:1; 50-59 is a 2:2; 40-49 is a 3 and less than that is a fail. ;-)
Although these averages aren't the same nationwide, they're pretty near.
i find this a better way of showing degree classifications:
1:1 = Little social Life
2:1 = Decent Social Life
2:2 = Leaves everything to Last Mintue
3:3 = Heavy Drinker, Sleeps alot
Fail = Heavy Drinker, Chain Smoker, Attends few lectures
intrestingly, its those who went to private schools that usually get 2.2 and those who went to state schools that get 2.1
I completely agree.
