If you got a 1st, what did you get in your 2nd year?
I have 65 avg for my 2nd year marks in Philosophy and due to the way marks are weighted at my uni I would need 73 avg in 3rd year to get a 1st overall.
is that doable? and what marks did other people go into 3rd yr with and got a 1st at the end of it?

Yep, I got a first and my second year average was 60!
70.3% in third year, 70.6% in second year. I optimised the amount of time spent dossing!
It's totally possible. I would say a slim majority of my peers who got first in the final years got a mixture of low firsts and high 2.1s in the second year, with a high 2.1 average. They really got the hang of it in the final year 
(speaking personally though I went from 74 > 77, so not much difference...).

I averaged 67.3 in second year, and 72 in my third. Third year was worth double for me, though, so I got a First quite easily in the end.
MrGreedy
has anyone got or know anyone who got a 60% in an engineering degree in the second year, but then managed to get a first overall?
I got 60% in my second year. Going into my third so I need 72% next year to average a 1st. I'm going to do it. Only thing I'm slightly worried about is dissertation and group projects.
not that I am hi-jacking the thread, but how similar are the exams at UNI with A-levels?

In my experience so far, not very. My Ecology exam was 3 hours long, consisting of a choice 4 essay questions from 8 options, so nothing like A-level Biology.

which uni and course?
doesnt your first year count?
i am also worried about group project because it counts a lot towards your final grade, I am just going to have to do really well in the exams!
hmm, thanks for the encouraging answers
this year I got 71 highest overall for a module and 52 lowest. For 1 module i got 75 in essay and 51 in exam. some 2:2 marks really dragged down the avg
my strategy for 3rd yr goes like this:
only pick modules & dissertation topic in areas where i got 1st and high 2:1s this year. i'm also gonna try to pick 20 credits of an beginners elective module in a language i've done before to a higher standard.
hopefully i should get my 1st at the end of it all.
