It is only Part 1B. It is far more important at this stage to avoid the 2:2 and 3rd. I was in roughly the same position as you are before going into Part 2 and it ended up working out fine. You have laid the groundwork to do even better in Part 2. The worst thing you could do is look back with regret on something which is not determinative of the end result and allow that to distract you from what lies ahead. There is also the greater point that even the Part 2 results are not decisive for your future in the slightest. Keep your head up.

Hi Elena! Congratulations on your grades! I studied in the UK too and their gradings can be a bit confusing; you don’t usually get the EXACT grade you had on your exam as the curve goes up or down depending on how well/poor students performed. So the grade you get can differ from the exam grade by approx +- 5%. Also, if you think you’ve performed better that what you’ve received, then it would be better to contact the school and ask them to check your grades again. One time I was told I failed a subject, but deep down inside I knew I haven’t. So after urging them to check my exam paper and grade again, they found out that the 2nd examiner has mixed up my grade with another student. Mistakes do happen, even at the most prestigious unis so never hesitate to ask them to check the grades. Good luck on the rest of your journey👍🏻

@LorieSays, I am gonna be very transparent with you. This pandemic has benefited students in a very ridiculous way. Exams are open book with long durations. The only problem students face is the resource and mental health (some students over-exaggriate). Getting 2:1's is an accomplishment. Congrats to her but some people cover the benefits to make them seem like they are in a life or death situation.

@luciankira5096 4 жыл бұрын

Serhat Melek totally. Open book doesn‘t mean anything necessarily. Our Professor just made the exam longer, so we can‘t look anything up or we are in serious time trouble, but he also made it harder, because technically we could look anything up haha. To be fair it‘s only really about pass and fail, however good grades do help with mandatory internships and scholarships. But I do agree, the semester was not really that much harder for me personally, but I do have a good place to study, many do not.

@debbieartsybie 4 жыл бұрын

@@serhatmelek3043 I think it really depend on your uni. My Uni switched to online invigilation on most exams. Nothing is open book and there is no way of looking anything up. So it's pretty much the same thing except with online invigilation, I can't even go to the bathroom 🤷‍♀️

@RoseAllDayyy 4 жыл бұрын

Serhat Melek I don’t know how Cambridge law operates, but almost all my law exams were four hours long open book (and this was 10 years ago, obviously pre-pandemic, but in normal exam settings). The key skill for legal practice is adequately applying the law, not memorising it, so having open book exams is necessarily giving students an advantage, depending on how the exams are designed. I’d be surprised if Cambridge students are only expected to rote learn and memorise, rather than actually learn how to apply the law to hypotheticals, but I could be wrong.

Teaching got derailed, Easter term happened online, those were open book exam & your professors might have graded them more severely, even unconsciously. You did well girl!

Oh no, I am so sorry that you are disappointed and worried about your scholarship. I watched you work so hard all year and I understand why you are not happy with the grades that you got. You almost always went above and beyond and did all the extra reading that was not even compulsory. Especially Land law you mentioned many times how much you liked despite of the fact that it is generally not a very liked subject. If it is possible I think it would give you a lot of peace to maybe get feedback on the exams and why you got the grades that you did? I do not know if it is, but yeah. Congrats on passing your exams regardless:)

(I am going into third year of my undergrad in Canada for Genetics!) CONGRATULATIONS on your marks, you put in so much hard work into every subject and you should be proud of yourself! I know that it is difficult not knowing what will happen to your scholarship but I REALLY hope everything will be okay! Please don't lose hope, your success is NOT only these grades, but you have also accomplished so many things in just a year! The most important thing is the knowledge you have gained this year. I hope you don't feel too sad or too disappointed right now. Fingers crossed everything will be okay. Don't worry Elena your hard work will pay off! :) I just wanted to say THANK YOU for being so wonderful, intelligent and hardworking! I am excited to see your future endeavours and successes!

I had moments too when I just worked really hard for a subject and the outcome wasn't the expected one, and it's really frustrating. I think good grades are 90% hard work and 10% luck (for example, who is marking the exam or what questions you got can make an important difference in the end). But, you still did amazing!! And you can take this opportunity to learn. If you can, ask your professors to review the exams with you and explain your mistakes so you can improve :)

I understand your disappointment, I am the kind of person that puts a lot of pressure on herself to get good grades, and I really need a good gpa to get a scholarship to do my PhD in law. Last year I worked so hard but only ended up with a 7'91/10 gpa which would translate into a mid to low 2:1 in the UK system and I was disappointed. This year I decided to change my study habits a little bit to be more efficient and ended up with a 8'98/10 which would be a low 1st. So I guess what I want to tell you is that disappointment sucks but it's good if it helps you do better next time. You are very smart, probably a lot more than you think and you can do better. This has also been a hard year, for everyone and a mid 2:1 is a good grade, it's good that you are not satisfied because this will motivate you to do better.

Hello Elena, I've got to say that I really know how you feel I am studying Civil Engineer at university and I also have a Schorlarship and out of 7 subjects I am taking I've got one really not so good grade according to my expectations for people like us it is a little hard when we study so hard and the results aren't what we expected but just wanted to tell that you are amazing, you work hard and remember that you have to work hard even more this time. You inspire me Elena.

Awww 🥺 I completely understand. I was in similar boat. I really wanted to get scholarship throughout 5-10 standard in school and which I did but I was so always on to scores. Not because I didn’t want to feel low all the time and be talking or thinking about scores but because I wanted to have that load off my parents. 🥺🥰 I hope you can still continue your scholarship and do great in third year! ❤️

I think you’re too fussed about the mark. A 2:1 is a 2:1. That’s what most people need to secure a top job. If you get a 2:1 from Cambridge, you should be proud, whether it’s a low 2:1 or high 2:1.

@briant5685 4 жыл бұрын

I personally prefer a 2.1 than a 1st class,reason being it might be hard for you to be employed in some organizations because those people will perceive you to be a threat to their power or positions due to the level of your education

So the whole video I'm yelling at you through your screen that it's okay and it was covid and stressful and a completely different environment the past couple of months so you shouldn't expect yourself to do better than you did all year.... But then you explained about your scholarship... I really hope they can cut everyone some slack due to this whole situation. I really hope you don't stress about it too much right now, you did everything you could and you work so hard every day, I don't think there's anything more you can do about it now. So I hope you can find some peace in that you worked so hard this year. And damn girl, you deserve that scholarship. You still got a 65%!!! Even through all this shit you still managed to get a pretty good grade and even a 70% in international law!!!!

Elena Handtrack THEY SHOULD! It would be absolutely crazy if they didn’t. And as a law student, you might even be able to look into international law and how other countries are dealing with this same issues and make an appeal or something? Idk how that works. But in the Netherlands one of our ministers started a dialogue with all the universities and colleges to protect us the students. Even the high school students didn’t need to do their final exams if they had all passing marks.

i find the subjects that are quite hard (and hence you feel you did bad in) are marked more leniently because they want people to pass. and subjects that a lot of students find easier are marked more harshly bc they can’t have everyone getting like 80%; they need that bell curve

I truly understand what it means to work hard everyday and not get the results you expect. But on the other hand your grades were not bad and you had to take the last term at home, because of a pandemic, be proud of what you achieved! Try to learn what you did wrong in the exams (maybe exam revision or something similar could help), and I'm sure that you'll end up graduating with a First! :)

I get your feeling girl. I always aim for a 75/100 or magna cum laude (how my uni calls it). In Belgium to get a first or a summa magna cum laude you need to have a 82.5/100. But at the end of the day it is just a number and it is Camebridge grading. So they will not give it for nothing. If the highest ranking is a 70/100, that says a lot. In my eyes that is mediocre but for Camebridge standards that is excellence.

I know how it feels. Don’t get too upset over it. It’s the first year at uni and this year results will prompt you to do better. I wouldn’t think your scholarship could be called off just because of a couple of points. Besides, you got a first and a high 2:1, no 2:2s - that’s already good. Law is competitive and hard, loads of people struggle to do well in it. Your results at such an elite uni are already something! Keep working at it and it will all come to you! (P.S. I know this feeling as it is so tricky: you come out of the exam room thinking it went well, and then you usually get something lower than expected, and vice versa. You revise less, in a less routinised and structured way and you do better. For law it won’t work like for philosophy I guess, opening up your mind and just writing, but at times it felt right, as ‘overly’ strategic thinking over potential essay questions really seemed to hinder the performance somehow). So no worries. You work hard. You’re bound to do well!
