I read somewhere (Might have been on here actually), that you only need to get 66% overall for it to be classed as a first?

Is that right or did I misunderstand it or am I talking bollocks

If you obtain between 67-70% your looked at to see if there were any mitigating circumstances as to whether you should be awarded a first...

So effectively yes 67% can be a first...

70+ is a definite 1st
60 - 70 2:1
50 - 60 2:2

And 3% below and like mark said, they have the choice of upping your final grade.

the boundary for a first is 70%

however most external assessors wil bump you up if you're within 2% of the grade boundary

which better fucking happen!

Cosmo first year counts for nothing - second and third is where tis at
