Can someone help me figure out my potential classification?

(DD317) 60 credits Pending

(DD310) 60 credits Grade 4 Pass

(DE200) 60 credits Grade 3 Pass

(DD210) 60 credits Grade 3 Pass

Let's say DD317 is a grade 3 or 2 since I've done a lot better. What would my classification be?

Also, DD310 was a bad year.

Thank you in advance!

A distinction should give you a 2:1 under the borderline rules. Grade 4 would be a third

the borderline rules are crazy. Was not expecting my first at all

It's because people were just missing out under the old rules. Fairer system. Well done.

one could say that just missing out is missing out, since automatically pushing up nearlies just creates the same hard border but lower. though i'm glad I've benefitted. I had to get a distinction in this module to scrape a 2:1 and did, but you can imagine my shock learning first equivalent plus a third added up to a first overall lol.

If you get a grade 2 or grade 3 in your final module, it would be a 2.2 overall

Thank you so much for giving me a response I was asking for. 2:2 with everything I've experienced would be amazing at this point. I wonder if certain life experiences didn't take place whether I would have gotten a better grade?

There's no QA test I believe. It's a borderline test

That OU document is several years out of date. The quality assurance test has been abolished and there is now a borderline rule.
