I need help, i'm scared! 3rd year of uni... Can i get a 2:1?

Basically I am very very worried and concerned about myself right now.

SO FAR... This is what I have achieved in 3rd year:

I started on third year amazingly and I achieved 75 (1st class) on my annotated bibliography which is 10% of my dissertation grade and my dissertation is worth 45 credits.

I received my health psychology coursework results and achieved a 60% (2.1). I'm very very upset with this result since that means that I will have to do really well in the exam to get 60%. The coursework is worth 40% and exam is 60%. I usually always get 55% or below on exams so I rely a lot on cw to bring my grade up by a little.

First year and second year equal 23.25875 which means that if I want a 2:1 (60%) overall - I would need to get an average of 61.2354167.

My modules for third year equal to 120 credits:
15 cred - say I get 50% in Health Psychology.
15 cred
15 cred
15 cred
15 cred
45 cred dissertation (10% completed at upper 1st)

If I get 50 on my health psychology module but I do really well and get 1st class on my other modules... will I be able to get a 2:1 overall?


If you need more info, feel free to ask!

I'm just so worried about my result, I was also thinking of having a graduation party but if I'm getting a 2:2 - I think I'll have to forget the party.

Assuming you got 70% in all the modules except health psychology your average would be 67.5, so a 2:1 is still achievable from you.

Thank you for working that out for me! I shall try and best and see what happens! :smile:
Im going through the same issues as you. Im a final year psychology student and want to achieve atleast a 2.1. Firstly, year 1 one doesnt count towards your degree.. so year 2 is 33% of the final grade and y3 is 66%. And secondly, your lowest 20 credit module for year 2 and year 3 will not count towards your overall mark which means you get your best 200 credits out of 360. I say just look at feedback and try your best for each module and almost certainly by the sounds of it you will get your 2.1.
