    Hey,

    Going into final year with a 2.3 QCA :/
    The plan is to get a 2.2 degree which is a 2.65 QCA I believe?
    Does anyone know what QCA id need to get the 2.2??

    Assuming the standard weigh of 1,1,2,2,2 and five modules a semester that is a total of 120 credits.

    You have already done 60 credits with a QCA of 2.3
    60*2.3 = 138 QCS

    You will do 120 credits with a goal QCA of 2.65
    120*2.65 = 318 QCS

    318-138 = 180 QCS required in 4th year with 60 credits in that year
    180/60 = 3

    QCA of 3 is required in 4th year to achieve your goal of QCA 2.65 overall
    That a B2 average grade

    Assuming 2nd and 3rd year are worth 25% and 4th year is 50%.

    I think a 2:1 is 2.6.

    (2.3 + x)/2 = 2.6

    x = 2.9

    I have been looking for this information for ages. Have almost the exact same QCA as the OP. To get 2.9 is basically getting a B in everything for the year.
    Is a 2:1 only a dream with a qca of 2.3?

    Its possible but you need to A1 average. If you have an A2 average you'll have a QCA of 2.95 which might help you get a 2.1

    Thats not going to happen in reality. Im going to get a C in french each semester so I guess that means I will need an A in something to stay above 2.6

    Quick question. My QCA stands at 3.13 and that will be updated with two I grade results of B1 and a B3.
    If someone doesn't mind working it out, what will my QCA stand at then and what will that leave me with degree wise?

    As this is I grade I assume that you never got awarded the credited for those modules. So the 3.13 was marked of of 24 credit instead of 30

    3.13*24 = 75.12 QCS

    B1 = 3.2 QCA and B3 = 2.8 QCA.
    As your in second year credit for each are 3
    3.2*3 + 2.8*3 = 18 QCA

    Add the two QCS together gives you a total QCS of 93.12
    Total credits are now 30
    so your QCA is 93.12/30 = 3.104.

    If the 30 was awarded when calculating the original QCA.
    3.13*30 = 93.9
    +18 = 111.9
    /30 = 3.73 QCA
