Psychological disorders 61.3
Language 60
Social 59.4
Developmental 69.1
Individual differences 59.4
Design 66.3

Overall 63 (equivalent of low 2.1)

Which is exactly what I expected, really. Not low enough that I get the wibbles and want to drop out and live in a basement flat and work in subway, but not high enough that I can get silly ideas about postgraduate study into my head. The biggest surprise was my 2.2 in Social Psychology; I really thought it was one of my best. Other surprises were that I almost got a first in developmental, and that I managed a 2.1 in Psych. Dis., despite the terrible questions for which I was unprepared and had to wank my way through.

Well done though. You actually got some really good marks and a 2.1 is all we need. xx

63 is a mid 2:1.

I got 59, that's a low 2:1...

60 is the cut off, which is what makes my result all the crapper.

Basically, in my course, if you got over 60 in at least half your papers you got a 2:1 overall. I got 4 above, 3 below. So despite me getting a mean of below 60, my median was above 60. Hurrah!

There were people who got higher marks than me overall who got a worse degree...

For english, 58.5 is the cut off. Randomly. You need at least two papers above sixty, no papers below fifty, and an average of 58.5 for a 2.1

Different subjects work differently though. Your Schools Handbook will tell you, or your department website...

Well done! They were rubbish for not telling you sooner. 2:1 is great. Hugs you in a congratulating manner over the internets despite the fact you are in the flat. Tx

Whoa - check out that developmental grade! Bloody good. I think that's actually a first, or at least damn near to one.

I believe 2i cut off point is around 60 but varies year to year so we won't know finally until next year. But 63 has got to be a 2i - go you!

Am still waiting for my tutor to email me mine. I'd mind this less if my plan for the next five years was not entirely dependent on getting a 2i. *is nervous*
