Will rounding my overall average make a difference to my applications?

I just found out I scored 69.9% overall in my second year examinations (in UK target, equiv. to GPA ~3.9) which is just 0.1% shy of being classified as First Class. For my CV, do you think it will matter if I just round this up to 70% (which would be a 4.0 GPA)?

Usual requirement for applications is 60%, so it's not like I would be lying to meet the minimum.
