Open University Final Grading?

I am studying Philosophy and Psychological Studies through the open uni. I'm about to start my second Level 2 module (i'm studying part-time) and I've tried to find some info on what achieves a 1st, 2:1 etc but there seems to be a lot of conflicting numbers.

Doesn't seem to be attaching, have tried again

Hi, thankyou so much! Is there any way you can link it instead as I can't see an attachment?

Apologies, TSR is being very finicky so I'm going to attempt to explain the maths in words instead

Level 2 modules are single weighted towards your honours grade and level 3 modules are double weighted. Depending on your grades, you get a specific number of weighted grade credit (WGC) points.

Level 1 modules don't count so don't worry about those grades.

Level 2 modules
For your L2 modules, the WGC calculation is 60 (credits) * (grade achieved)
A grade 2 for your first L2 module would give you a WGC score of 120 points

Level 3 modules
For your L3 modules, the WGC calculation is 60 (credits) * (grade achieved) = x * 2
So a grade 2 on level 3 would give you a WGC score of 240 points

Then you add up all your WGC scores from L2 & L3.

Honours grade thresholds:
630 points or less = 1st
631 to 900 points = 2.1
901 to 1170 points = 2.2
1171 to 1440 points = 3rd

There's also a borderline threshold. If you're within the 59 points threshold for a 1st (between 631 and 690 points), you can get a 1st if you manage to achieve a grade 1 for one of your L3 modules. If your points are more than 690 but less than 901 then you'll get a 2:1. So basically the less points you've achieved, the higher your final grade will be.

I've calculated what you need to get a 1st

The grades below would give you 600 points and meet the borderline threshold criteria, have a think about which L3 module you're more likely to achieve a distinction in. (you only need one distinction because your modules are 60 credits)

Level 2: Pass 2, Pass 2
Level 3: Distinction, Pass 2
