    That´s a big difference. I wouldn´t count on it. Universities don´t just bump people up.

    You might get a better answer in the specific forum for your university. (you need to provide more info regardless)

    Different universities have different policies and different cutoffs.
    Generally I'd imagine if you needed 2.5% more in one exam, yeah. If you're looking for 2.5% across the board, no.

    Although it doesn't seem like it, 2.5% is actually a big amount because you need to make that up across all of your subjects. Someone in my year had a 69.5% average in her over all degree and they didn't give her a first. Although I don't think she really fought too hard to appeal it.
