I have got the worst possible grades ever in my second year. My second year is worth 50% and I've averaged out a 47% which is a third. How fucking shite is that.
I've worked it out and to come out with a low 2:2 I'd have to get straight 2:1s throughout my final year which to be honest, I know I'm not capable of.
I'm just really disappointed in myself. I'm sat here in tears like a fool. I feel as though the past year has been a complete and utter waste of time.
I don't want to come out with a third but I know I'm going to if I don't RESIT the year as I know I won't get straight 2:1s.
Gawd, I'm so confused now. If I resit the year, that means I'm going to be in £4000 more debt, my parents are going to be well disappointed in me, it means me starting all over again and making new friends and it also means I won't have anyone to live with in my actual final year.
Cries. What should I do? I can't talk to anyone in uni today as I'm in work shortly.
I know I've been messed up a bit this year, I've not concentrated enough, I came out of a 3 year relationship and was messed up for a while. Gawd, its all my own fault I know, I didn't put enough effort in. I just know I'm capable of so much more.
I know I'm capable of a higher grade than I actually got. I don't know what to do.
Advice please.

Is your second year really worth 50%? That seems so high.
It might make you feel better to know that I did quite shit in my first and second years of uni, then worked really really hard in my final year and got a 2:1 in the end.
I'm not even gonna come out with a 2:2 if I get all 2:1s next year. This is shit.
I don't know what to do. I don't want a third.
I either wanna leave uni or repeat my second year.
I've worked it out again and I actually need to average out around a mid 2:2 next year to get a low 2:2. However, one of our modules are taken off the marks at the end so I can't be 100% sure about that.
Part of me believes I'm capable of a 2:1 to be honest. I got a 2:1 in the first year.
I really don't know what to do. The thought of staying at uni for yet another year scares me.
My LEA pay for my student loan. Won't they pay for it if I'm repeating the year?
If so, then repeating isn't even an option. I can barely get by now.
Don't you still get a student loan and grant if you are repeating a year?
so... without extenuation, its impossible to resit and improve your grade. - thats how it is at my uni. if i were you, i'd chat to your lecturers asap and see how you stand.
oh balls, yeh i forgot you can only get a 40 if you re-sit. i'm not much looking forward to my results this year.
how else can it be though? your first year doesn't count towards your final degree so if it's not 50% each for your 2nd and 3rd years then it's going to be more in one than the other meaning more than 50% for one year which is obviously even higher!
Yeah, mine was like that. Or, rather, the level three units were weighted higher.
:yes: I knew a few people at uni in this situation - Stacey, I think because you know you can do better it will really benefit you to seriously think about this option. Coming out of a three year relationship is a big deal and it's no wonder you weren't able to concentrate as well as you have done previously.
Aye. In my department they worked out your result weighted 50:50 in the 2nd and 3rd years and then 35:65, and went with the method that gave you the best mark, which was quite nice. Especially for me, as I also nobbed up my second year, and had to work my ass off in the third.
First of all the fact that your at university at all is an achievement in itself! If your unsure about what to do next you need to weigh up your choices carefully. Such as is leaving university really what you want to do? Is it better to get in an extra £4000 worth of debt for a better degree mark or to have lost the £8000 you've spent on the last 2 years by leaving with no degree? All of these things you will need to think about. Your university will be able to help you make a decision and give you support whilst your doing so.
Our article on failed years at uni might be of some help to you.
Ultimately the decision is yours and i wish you every luck with making it, just try to remember what your trying to achieve from going to uni, if a good mark is want then the financial implications might be worth it.
Hope this helps
I was in exactly the same position last year, came out with a 3rd for the 2nd year, the 2nd and 3rd years being weighted 33:67. Thought I'd do better in the 3rd year, did worse in the 1st semester of the 3rd year, and eventually came out with a 3rd unfortunately. (found out on friday)
I wanted to repeat the 2nd year, but my personal tutor advised against it. so if you can, and you're sure you'll do better, (seriously think about this, not whether you're capable of more work, but whether you'll actually DO more work) I think you should retake the 2nd year, especially where your years are weighted 50:50.
I'm still working on finding out if I can get into the masters course I wanted to get onto, I'm not sure what I'll do otherwise... I could be a teacher I suppose :chin:
that said, I guess I still have a physics degree now
I was talking to some of my third year friends on Friday night and they were telling me that I should just go into my third year and work my arse off as the same thing happened to them last year and they managed to get the grade they wanted. However, their 2nd year was only worth 40% and their 3rd year was worth 60%.
I've got a short appointment with my course leader this morning. I'll let you all know how it goes and what she says.
however, if you also know that you can work your ass off next year and if it is possible to improve and get the grade you want/need by doing that then thats an option too- but you'll have to be prepared to work so so hard.
so there is hope for me yet, thanks for that
i thought you had to get a 2:1 or above to do a masters?
not neccisarily, it's dependant on the course
depends on demand for the course
