Degree Classification

Hello. Could anyone clarify what Second Class Hons Second Division means?
Degrees are classified with the highest being First Class Honours. After that comes Second Class Honours, First Division abbreviated as 2:1. The next is Second Class Honours, Second Division or 2:2. Then there is Third Class Honours followed by Pass.
Your overall marks will determine your classification. Not sure if every Uni is the same but when I was at Uni it was 70%+ for a First, 65+ for a 2:1, 60+ for a 2:2, 55+ For a Third and 40+ for a Pass degree.
