    Some courses hand out good results like there's no tomorrow. Sometimes just having an indepth wikipedia knowledge of a subject will get you a 2:1.

    there could also be weighting of subjects.. Which could mean an easier one counts more towards the final result..

    I was the same when I got mine. Shocked. Was doing a diploma course, and I got a distinction, so does that mean I got a first?

    Subjects are also often marked on a curve. If the class as a whole does badly in the exam, then people are brought up so less fail, this may have pushed you up a bit.
