Grades for a first

JoeyBlo · 2014-12-14 20:48:06

What grades (A1, A2, B1 etc), for 4/5 modules would you need for a First if all modules are weighted the same? Probably a bit of a vague question but just wondering a roundabout idea. I know the qca for a first but the grades are what im asking about. Cheers

1:1 is a QCA of 3.4 or higher. B1 average is 3.2 and A2 average is 3.6, so 3.4 is somewhere inside that band. If you want a first, you certainly can't afford more than a handful of non-B grades over the course of your degree.

You can't get more than 3 B2s if you want a 1.1 (and that would be along with 2 A1s to get you exactly 3.4)
