Got a B1 and three B2's! So not happy! My QCA has dropped from 3.1 to 3.05 (I'm in third year). No chance of a first class honours now...
Also for arts I think anything above 3.5 is first class honours? If that's the case how well would I need to do in fourth year to get it from 3.05 -3.5? Is it impossible? Thanks, just worried here!

I am exactly the same! Dropped from 3.2 to 3.05...Thanks to German but at least I passed! I am going into final year too and want to know if it is possible to get up to the first class honours!

Hope we can get some help finding out

Looked again, turns out it's 3.07! At least that's slightly better!:P I dropped one grade from last semester my QCA has never dropped before! TBH though the grades themselves weren't very good, would have loved to have gotten an A2, that would have bumped it up nicely!

Possible for both of ye to get a 1.1 but you'll need to get an a1 in everything.

There's no set number but to progress to the next year your qca has to be higher than 2.0 so it depends on your other grades really. If I remember form yesterday you have 2? As your first year you can get away with just repeating one

2 from each semester. I make it to be that I've I repeat the module I got the F in and one of the Modules I got a D2 in, if I get a C3 in both of these then my overall QCA for the year will be 2.00

Only if your QCA is under 2.0
It hammers your QCA though...

Yeah that's what I thought. I'm asking for my friend. He's on a 2.8 and wants a 3 but he has a D3 and wants to repeat it to get to a C3 but even with that I don't think it'll bring him up that much. I haven't done the maths but I think it's impossible. It's only a 3 credit module too.

I think this Friday is the last day for applying for rechecks, think it says somewhere in the student handbook you have 2 weeks after results are available to apply

I got a session QCA of 3.8 in this summers exams. Just wondering should I have got a letter from the president by now? (I'm final year graduating at the end of the month so not sure if I'm entitled to one?)

I don't think those letters come until about midway through the following semester.
