Finding out your third year grade.

A couple of people have asked how to figure out your final grade, so I thought I'd publish a quick guide:


Third Year -75%
Second Year - 25%

On registry online it tells you what marks you have and how many credits each one is worth.
You add the Minor Grade, Dissertation, Major Grade, and Major Grade again (because its 60 credits) together, and divide by 4.

So for example, this is what you would do if these were your grades:

Dissertation: 65. Minor: 60. Major: 68.
65 + 60 +68 +68 = 261.
261 / 4 = 65.25

So Third year would be 65.25%.


Second year, do the same, add all the units together, counting the 2 30 credit units twice. Then divide by 8.

Lets say for the example that came to 60.

Third Year - 65.25
Second Year - 60.

Figure out the difference (Subtract the lower from the higher, so 65-60 = 5)

Take the difference, and divide it by 4 (because its worth 25%). This gives you how much to add or take away from your third year grade.
So in this case it would be 1.25.

If the second year grade is higher, add the number to the third year grade.
If the second year grade is lower, subtract it from the third year grade.
So 65.25-1.25 = 64%

The final grade would therefore be in this example 64%.

I don't know if decimals are rounded, thats one for the tutors.
