Someone emailed wondering when you get your project marks, which means lots of you will be wondering about when you get your project marks.
If last year is anything to go on, you will find out your project mark around the time you find out your exam marks, which is early-mid June. So as not to be working on the assumption that last year is correct for this year, you should pop into reception to confirm.
One thing this does mean is that a large portion of your marks remain unspecified, which makes guessing your overall standing more difficult, which, in turn, makes assigning the amount of effort to revision a tricky thing. In this fog of this uncertainty the best thing to do is simply revise hard and do the best you can do in the exams, giving yourself the benefit of doubt should your project fall short.
While it may seem obvious to do this, there is an attitude that if you are in 2.1 territory anyway it makes little difference what mark you get within this. '2.1 comfort', I call this. This is fine but also be aware that employers frequently look at marks and clearly a high 2.1 is more attractive than a low 2.1.
