Is an average of 64.4 okay for third year?

I’m in my final few months of uni and have worked out my average for all my assignments is 64%. How much would I have to get on my remaining assignments and dissertation for a first? Can I even get a first at this point. I was quite shocked when I added it all up as I thought I’d done a bit better :frown:

This depends on the weighting of your second and third year.

Hi there

This would normally depend on your course and University. You can probably find the module weight in your course's guidance documents, which should tell you how much is required to achieve a first. I think this is normally around 70%? I would still recommend checking just to be sure.

With a 64% currently, it may still be possible to pull your grades up. :smile:

If you start your revision early and spend more effort on your assignments and dissertations, it could be possible! :smile:

Good luck.

Hi, not sure if it is too late to reply, but my average in 3rd year was 65% and I ended up getting a 1st. It was weighted as 25% of my final year mark. You just need to really push yourself and aim for a high mark in your dissertation.
