If a student studied 20 hours per week throughout the year on all their subjects, attended all lectures and tutorials and completed all tutorial sheets properly and used all of their time whilst in university efficiently and very very well, they're almost definitely going to get a first at-least a 2:1. Unfortunately, most students, including myself, don't study throughout the year, and end up doing 40/50 hours a week in the last 4/5 weeks for the exams! In any case good luck!
