University grade/mark calculator
I finished 2nd year with 57%, 2nd year is worth 33% how much will I need for a 2:1 and how much for a 1st ? I know a 1st is a longshot but if I put in the effort of trying to achieve a 1st I'm sure I'll get a strong 2:1?
According to this math (assuming that your 2nd year mark is weighted at 1/3 of your final degree and your 3rd year mark is weighted at 2/3's your final degree):
(1/3)57 + (2/3)x = 70
(2/3)x = 51
x = 76.5
(1/3)57 = 19
(2/3)76.5 = 51
19 + 51 = 70 (1st)
You'll need to get a MINIMUM 76.5 final mark in your 3rd year to get an overall 1st for your final degree. Aim for the 77, or 80 if you can.
(1/3)57 + (2/3)x = 70
(2/3)x = 51
x = 76.5
(1/3)57 = 19
(2/3)76.5 = 51
19 + 51 = 70 (1st)

Thank you for that, I appreciate it and I sure will. And I presume it's 61.5 so 62 for a 2:1 overall?

You should also check your degree regulations. Most unis have alternative classification methods to upgrade those who fall just short.
