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.

63 is a mid 2:1.

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

ah, i suck! i was working with 60 as the cut-off mark... do you know where the class boundaries actually are, or do they vary?

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...
