60-69 is normally a 2.1. 70 and above is a 1st.

Universities actually have a number of ways to calculate the final classification.

Some add up all 12 modules (over the 2nd and 3rd year as 1st year doesn't count) and divide by 12.

Others take the best 6 and average the rest. to achieve a 2.1 you need 6 modules at 2.1 and above and the rest averaging 55 and above.

It is worth knowing how it works so you can play the system, meaning that you know exactly what you need to work at.

The best advice I can give is enjoy your first year and work hard during your second. Do well in your second year and you'll find that you need a lower average in the harder, but not weighted, third year. With a dissertation in the third and generally bigger projects that have combined modules there is the chance that if you fuck up then it's going to hit you big time.

Thanks for the advice. I'm sure it will come in handy. Like you stated, I enjoyed my first year not worrying about results, as effectively they don't have much of a bearing on the final outcome in the second year. Additionally the first year was basically a top-up of the two previous years on a college course.

I'm now enjoying my break from the studying, but eagerly await year 2 as it brings knowledge of areas that I have yet to explore in I.T

I'd watch out in the final year. Mine was weighted at 60% of total marks, for the final harder year. Which is fair enough. If they're evenly weighted, you're very, very lucky.

The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Well done steve. Hate to burst the bubble but you're not qualified until you pass your NQT year.

Seems strange i know when your certificate from the GTC says Qualified Teacher Status on it!
