To ask how much I would need in the other bits of my dissertation to get a 2.1

I've unfortunately gor 40% in one part worth 20% due to an issue uploading it and it then being late. The other bit is obviously worth 80%. How much more would I need to get?

i think that there are on line degrees calculators that you put in what % of the degree each thing is worth and they work out what less you need to get. Ask student room.

Hi, if you got 40% of the section worth 20% you would have got 8% for that section.
To get a 2:1 you require 60% overall. So you now need to get 52/80 which is 65%
Good luck

You're doing a degree but can't work this out yourself?

I work in a maths department at a uni, and we get these kind of questions from our students on a daily basis 🤣
