What the marks mean…
70+ is a 1st… this is excellent work
60 – 69 is a 2:1… this is very good work
50 – 59 is a 2:2… this is good work but a little simplistic
40 – 49 is a 3rd… this work is adequate -‐ minimum level to pass
Less than 40 is a fail

Final award

last year it will be used…
So – 75% of your Pinal marks comes from this years average and 25% comes from your 2nd year average
All your third year module results contribute 75% towards your
Pinal degree descriptor (1st, 2:1, 2:2, 3rd)

all your grades for every module at all levels
To obtain a 2:1 you need get marks of above 60 for the majority of modules
