Pfft, why would we hate you... it's not like you got 5 A1s

I could get that with my eyes closed! (Like when I'm asleep and dreaming...)

You must repeat the F in the summer, and get your QCA above 2.00.

Repeat the F, and your QCA would be fine.
I think it costs something around €170 per exam, but I'm not too sure.

Repeating the 2 F grades and passing with your C's and D's should bring you up to 2.04, you are very close to the line of failing the year so for spring semester you will need to get a C3 or above in all your modules or else you may not get an overall 2.0, less partying and a bit more time in the library should do it !! :P

F grade when you pass capped at C3 2.0 so approx 2.08

Lads, for these answers they are only approximate and you'd be better of checking with Paddy or your student adviser just to be on the safe side as it is your degree after all.

Its tough but doable, depends on how much weighting is given to your 4th yr results and the length of time your QCA is calculated over (i.e did you qca kick in 2nd or third year?)

You should get a 2.2 on a qca of 2.5 with discretionary bands so that will make it easier

But what criteria do they use to give you the 2.2 on 2.5?
Like my attendance isn't great so doubt they'd give it to me..

is that from 4 exams and then a double weighted FYP?

I was on 2.39 starting semester 1 and a b3 average would of got me over the 2.6 so you'd manage the same with less work.
I got 3.1 from 4 exams this semester and im on 2.59 now

It will, you're adding a c3 onto it instead of an F so it has to go up. (assuming you get a c3)

If your QCA is above 2.0 after the Spring Semester you won't have to repeat the D. If you're above 1st year, you could consider repeating it for your QCA, but you don't have to.

==============

A little disappointed with mine. Not so much the results themselves, but the QCA. Dropped from 3.16 to 3.06. Was really hoping to break the 3.2 mark this year so I'd stand a chance of pushing it up to the 3.4... doubt I'll be able to do that now tbh. Just need to make sure I work my ass off to maintain what I have.

A1, A2, B3, C2 and C3. The C3 was very disappointing. It's about what I deserved to be honest, but it's still pretty gutting. The C2 was in my hardest subject (PLT for anyone who's done it :P) and while I thought I'd scrape a B3 on the back of the exam, based on my project that was a fair grade.

So yeah. Disappointing.

It was also really weird being in work checking them and getting like five skype messages from people in the office asking me how I got on even though I've only been there 4 days. :P

Can anyone explain why the honours bands are different for UL?

As in, why is a 1.1 an A grade, as opposed to a B grade everywhere else (I think). Is the marking different? Because I'm thinking of the following scenario: a student in my course in say, DIT, gets an overall B3 in their degree, which is a 1.1. However if I get an overall B1, I only come out with a 2.1. I know I'm picking bones here, but what's the difference?

Normally, A 1.1 is an average of 70%. This is an (B1 - A2) average. I would be extremely surprised if a 1.1 in DIT is actually a B3 average. If so, then that would imply that their B3 is ~70%. I highly doubt any (public) university gets any accreditation without first submitting all these details to a governing body who then deems them ok.

I'm not sure on how it works at all, though there was this thread not too long ago http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=84813356
