Hm, this seems poor. You shoudn't be coming to LSE if you are getting those marks. Aim for 70.

dude shut up ... 70 is a first, which means only the top ~20-30% of people will get above that.

Have you not studied in LSE for a whole year now?! You should know yourself how hard or not it is for you.

Well i dont think my performance during the year, though it was quite good, is necessarily an indicator of how i will do on the exams.

If you do the work throughout the year, and do a fair amount of revision (relative to lse standards), and have a reasonable level of intelligence, to be honest getting 60+ is easy. getting 70+ is a lot harder but not really that hard if you put a lot of effort in. you definitely shouldn't be worrying about 50 in fm212... do some of the exam papers!
Completely agree with the above. That was my original point.

Sure. That's why everyone graduates from LSE with a 2.1 yeah? Be realistic please, some courses are easy to score 60+ on but the vast majority are not.

As I said:

So I will reiterate. You can't just walk in and get a 60+, but if you do the work throughout the year (by which I mean go to classes, go to lectures, make an attempt at homeworks) and do a fair amount of revision (maybe I should stress here that I don't mean 2 hours a day, but I mean serious revision, like 6-8 hours per day, which is average for lse I'd say) and have a reasonable level of intelligence (ie. enough intelligence to get to the LSE in the first place) you will have no problems in getting a 60+ unless you really **** up or you are very unlucky.

The only people I know who failed to get 60s are people who pissed about, did very little throughout the year and then tried to learn everything over the summer term. And even then, most of my friends who did piss around still managed to get a 2:1 overall.

The majority of people graduate from LSE with a 2:1 or better, my lecturer said it himself: "we wouldn't have let you in to LSE if you couldn't get a 2:1"

If you do not get a 2:1 in a course, in my opinion, that is down to the act that you haven't put the effort in. This is only my experience from the first 2 years of doing econ, maybe it gets extremely hard in the 3rd year, but I doubt it.
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree :smile:

I am a GC student attempting to transfer in to a 3rd year at LSE. I need the following grades

60 in EC210
60 in EC325
50 in EH101
50 in FM212

Im most worried about the 60 in EC210 and the 50 in FM212. How difficult is it to get these grades?


As this was last year...were you able to get the grades? I might try the same thing.
