AWARD CLASS 1 FINAL QCA 3.39



Is this a 1.1 or a 2.1? I'm .1 off the 1.1 QCA band.

That looks like a 1.1. There's a 0.10 discretionary band so I guess they decided to award you the 1.1. Obviously I'm not the SAA, though, so don't take my word for it!

The only way to know I guess is to check what written for a person that got a 1.1 without being in the discretionary band. LilRedDorcha did you say you got a 1.1. is that 1 written on your thing as well?

Yep, that's exactly how mine was written and I'm not in the discretionary band. It means you got the 1.1 if that's there. I've done this twice. There isn't a 1 under my undergrad one since I got a 2nd class honours. Either 2.1 or 2.2 would be written there if you got one of them. So if it says 1, you got your first.

The 2.1's are also called grade 1. But I would think they would just put 1.1, 2.1, or 2.2. I may have got my hopes up too soon. They should make it clearer for goodness sake!

If you got a 2.1, it would say 2.1 under the thing.

Thanks! I was getting so excited and was afraid to be disappointed! That's great!:D They should make it a bit clearer though.

They really should! I only knew that mine was a 1st since I had last year to compare to. (I still didn't believe my QCA was high enough even though it was...)

Congratulations to those of you who got what you wanted and passed

Sorry to hear some of you are disappointed in yourselves

I thought I did a lot better than I did but I passed and still got my 2.1 so that leaves me happy! Masters next

I just emailed my course director and he confirmed I got a 1.1 First Class Honours as my "QCA was in the discretion band of 0.1."

So if your Award Class is 1 it's definitely a First Class Honours.

Absolutely delighted with mine. Had 3 exams where I knew I did well but in my mind It could have been anything from a B3 to an A2. Came out with an A1, A2 and B1 in them so was beaming!

I've emailed my course director too just to be 100% sure. I'd hate to believe I did and then to find out otherwise.

Disappointed, despite doing slightly better than I've ever done in college exams, especially with two or three results. Have basically given myself a completely unmanageable workload for fourth year, haven't a hope of bringing my QCA up by 0.26 over the next two semesters.

Precious flower

Yes, it has been absolutely confirmed, delighted

Yes. Check your emails and there is download file in it from them that will tell you what your accumulated QCA is if you do the repeat and get the max of a C3 in both.

Check your email they will have sent you a letter if it's possible to repeat or not.

Without crunching the numbers it probably should bring u over the line

Probably won't be appealing anything but just incase, how does it work? When's the deadline and when do you actually view the scripts? How does it work (or does it just not) if there was no exam part to your evaluation?
