:eek: I can't believe my eyes. 3 A2s, a B1 and a B2 in a module I was sure I had failed. I'm absolutely deliraa. Gonna havta go celebrate tonight and kill those brain cells that got me these grades.

Does anyone know how the degrees work? For a 1.1 degree what's the range for your qca, and so on?

Well done, qca > 3.4 is a first class honours.

But it does sometimes depend on the course you're doing.

I passed everything , 1 b 3Cs and 1 d. Im not delighted with that but then a qca of 2.7 in 1st year isnt bad

Above what QCA do you need for a 1.1 degree, as a matter of interest, freyners? Don't quite understand the degree/qca correlation

it varies from course to course, my course needs a 3.3 for a 1.1 degrees

generally..from what i can remember
1.1 degree is >= 3.4
2.1 degree is >= 3.0
2.2 degree is >= 2.7
anything less is a pass degree.

those figures are probably incorrect slightly
ask your course director for the bands for your course tho as they might be different like mine

I just got the letter there and there are four repeats listed at the bottom, 3 of which are Ds. Do I have to repeat those four?

I've calculated and bringing the single F up to a C3 will clear me past the 2.0.

I'm below the 2.0. Repeating the F and bringing it to a C3 takes me above it. Don't see the point in repeating the other three if that's the case.

Edit: Going by the form outlining the procedure to register for repeats, repeating Ds seem to be optional. I have to repeat the F obviously, but I think the four listed in the letter are just the four modules I have the opportunity to repeat.

No you have to repeat D's if your qca is below two, it doesn't matter if you passing the F and getting a c3 brings it up, afaik.

CiaranMT · 20-06-2011 3:06pm

I'm being told I have no modules to show, so is the girlfriend.

Anyone else getting that?

That's only 1, I've to repeat 4?!

What a joke this system is. The F is bringing me down not the Ds.

I had the same issue myself a year ago.....You don't have to repeat the Ds but you have to make sure that you don't get a D in the repeat exam for the F or your QCA could be in trouble and you threw away a chance then. I would recommend repeating at least one of the Ds because you can't do worse than a D in it and it covers your ass if you don't get a c3 in the F module.

So I don't have to repeat all four?

Ah here come on lads :pac:

garv123 · 20-06-2011 3:10pm

wel i decided to go out and check the post to ind my big A4 letter

exams were terrible.

got an F in a subject (manufacturing tech 2) i was confident in

50 percent of it was for practical work and project work which i had done pretty well.
is there a chance one of them werent corrected? im prettu sure i didnt fail it and how do i check it out?

also i scraped two D's in the other two i was nervous about.
My QCA for semester 2 is 1.52 and the QCA from semester 1 is 2.48
that gives a 2.00in the "to date" section. Does this mean i have to only pass the manufacturing in the pepeats and not repeat the other two?

For a fact I didn't have to repeat all the Ds just the F but I said I'd play it safe and repeat some of em.........If that has changed since it happened me last year I apologize.....I can only go from my own personal experience of the situation

Yeah I know mate, surely it's not any different this year. Were you below 2.0 when you went into the repeats last year?

If your QCA is 2.00 or above after repeating the F you do not need to repeat the other 2 Ds, they're optional if you want to improve your QCA. Basically, as long as you have no Fs and your QCA is 2 or greater you can have Ds

We had done that, all previous semesters' results are up but nothing for the one just gone.

anyone know how you go about getting the grades checked?

I wouldn't think so....My QCA was 1.80(I think) for the year going into the repeats with 2 Fs and had a few Ds also.

Similar enough to me, I'm 1.8 with 1 F and 4 Ds.

If I get a C3 in the F I'm up to 2.06 or something like that. Might repeat one of the Ds too.

If you work out the different QCA scenarios it might help ya make a decision or post your exact grades here(only if you won't) and more people can give their input....Up to yourself

Cheers lad, might do that later. All I wanted to know was whether I HAD to repeat all four or whether the Ds were optional.

I have 2 F's aswell. Sweet looks like I'll only have to repeat two so. Delighted, although I have repeats for the stupidet reasons ever.

Ya no worries. It's just that the Student Records calculates your residual QCA(what you can get if you have no Ds or Fs after the max of 4 repeats) as if you are going to repeat 4 modules, in your case an F and 3Ds so make sure to work out your QCA yourself as if the Ds were to be not repeated but the F is(obviously)......Work it out for the F becoming a D2,D1,C3 and see where you stand then......Sorry about the long winded rant but I've been through it before and it's not nice so if i can help i will....Good Luck with it!
