Confused by how my university calculates the degree classification?

Hello all,

I study at Aberystwyth University. However, I don't fully understand how the university calculates the overall degree classification grade between the second and third year. Here is a screenshot of their explanation:

I understand that the overall grade is split between 50% for the second year and the third year is the other 50%, however, what I don't understand is the 'best 80 level 3 credits' etc...

Since I'm taking 120 credits per year, does that mean that the 80 credits with the highest markings count and the others can be discarded?

Sorry to confuse everyone. Thanks for reading and/or commenting.
