Preponderance method Kent uni

did you ever find an answer to this, I'm so confused trying to understand it. my current understanding is that it requires an average 3% less than the average band BUT you need 50% of credits at wishing that grade band. e.g. an average of 57 with 50% of credits 60 and above. my other question is what happens if 40% of marks are in a 2:1 band and 40% are in 1:1 band, does that equal a 2:1 or is preponderance not applicable as you don't have 50% WITHIN a boundry?

So yes, as long as you have 50% of all credits (120) in the upper band and you average a score <3% to the upper band, you are given that upper band. Yo answer you second question, no you need 50% of credits in the upper band

so if my current average so far is 58.7, and I am still waiting on one more exam grade at the end of the month, can I assume I have achieved my 2:1?

Hi there
If you have half of all credits (120 credits) that have achieved a 2:1 (60%), and additionally have an overall average which is higher than 57%, then you will achieve a 2:1.
Since you are currently awaiting your exam grades, it depends on whether you have gotten a 2:1 in 120 credits, and how much your exam will count towards your final grade- whether it will affect your current average of 58.7%.
I hope this helps.
