So, my university works out the degree classification using three different methods. The first two make perfect sense to me. It is either weighted 40:60 between 2nd and 3rd year, or based on purely on 3rd year results (after discounting the lowest 20 credits).
However, this third one I really don't understand what equation this one is trying to communicate.
c) the minimum classification in which more than 50% of the combined relevant credits at Level 5 and Level 6 were attained after first discounting the marks in the worst 20 credits both at Level 5 and at Level 6.
