Degree classification calculator

I have to count 100 of my 120 final year credits to calculate. I did worst ( so far) on a 30 credit module. Can I count my other 90 credits and just use 10 credits from the 30 credit module. Or cannot use part of a module like that that?

This is what I have so far

30 credits: 45%
20 credits: 62%
10 credits: 71%
20 credits: 61%
So if I can only use 10 credits from the 30 then I calculate I’m just scrapping a 2:1 (. As long as I get 60%+ plus in the rest of my modules.

If I have to count the full 30 from my wort module then I have to get really high marks in at least one of my last modules to get there.

Thanks

You almost certainly have to count full modules.

30 - 45%
20 - 62%
10 - 71%
20 - 61%

Assuming you have 2 more 20 credit modules ...

20 - 61%
20 - 61%

You'd then take:

45+62+71+61+61+61 / 6 = 60.17 -> then multiply this by whatever weighting your uni gives your 3rd year.

Thanks for the reply.

So I just simply add them all up. It doesn’t matter that. Some were different credit modules? I asssumed that I’d have to add a 30 credit module result in 3 times, a 20 credit module twice, and a 10 credit module once. Then once I’ve got my 100 worth of credits divide by 10?

So..

30 credits is 1/4 of 120 credits - 45% for that module becomes 11.25% of the total year.
20 credits is 1/6 of 120 credits - 62% for that module becomes 10.33% of the total year.
10 credits is 1/12 of 120 credits - 71% for that module becomes 5.92% of the total year.
20 credits is 1/6 of 120 credits - 61% for that module becomes 10.17% of the total year.

So, you've got another 40 credits - let's assume that's 60%...

40 credits is 1/3 of 120 credits - 61% for that module becomes 20% of the total year.

Add them all up: 11.25% + 10.33% + 5.92% + 10.17% + 20% = 57.67%

You've mentioned that your worst 20 credits are ignored - it's down to your assessment regulations as to whether they can be in part from a module exceeding 20 credits, but it's unlikely that credits can be split.

The easiest way to calculate it is to use the following formula:

((Grade * Weighting) + (Grade * Weighting) + (Grade * Weighting) + (Grade * Weighting) + (Grade * Weighting) + (Grade * Weighting)) / 120

So filling it with your grades and weightings...

((45*30)+(62*20)+(71*10)+(61*20)+(60*20)+(60*20)) / 120
= 56.67%

That would hold true if they were all 20 credit modules.. but they're not.

I’ve made the assumption he’s not going to get worse that 45% in any other module, so his “drop” module would be the 30 credit one.

If he drops this it means he can only get 90 credits from any combination of his remaining modules, which isn’t enough to graduate with. So he has to count it. If the worst module was a 20 that would obviously be easily discounted. Since he’d have a nice round 100

I’m don’t sit on an exam board so I don’t know for certain but I would think they take his best 100 credits regardless whether it meant going over or not. The way the course structure seems to be that you can flop a 10 or 20 credit module and have it not count at all, but not the 30.
