Hi I’m in second year at uni of Liverpool doing law. I was wondering how the grades are calculated. How much of second year is weighted to calculate the final grade. Just for context my second year and third year are both 120 credits. So is it 50:50?
Also let’s say I average about 65 percent in second year, if I get a 70 in each module which weights 15 credits and there is 8 modules in third year- my overall degree doesn’t average to first class
Like the bar is so high or what are the tips to get a first class overall, if I average 2:1 in second year. Because being realistic it’s gonna be hard to get a first in all modules in third year- and even if I do get at least 70 in each, it still doesn’t overall average out to be a first. Or I might be wrong, because I used an online grade calculator.
I know I could ask my tutor about this too, but she is not available. So any help or extra tips would be appreciated on how to get a first and what should I focus on. Because I’ve heard some say that, if you get a good first in 3-4 modules and let’s say 2:1 in few modules that would still be enough to get a first. But idk how. Thanks
