Nope, Latin is no longer a matriculation requirement (Google suggests this disappeared in the early Sixties) and the foreign language requirement was officially removed a couple of years ago.Peter Mabey wrote:At Cambridge, I failed in the Honours, but just did well enough to be granted a Pass degree
Is there still a mandatory Classics entrance test? - I needed Latin as well as Maths (Pure & Applied) Physics and Chemistry. That was back in 1943 - I think my equivalent grades were D(or E - anything better than a fail would have done, so wasn't given actual result), A*, A, B, C respectively.

Someone start posting some fails now or at the least some mediocre results.

I also went out last night in hope of meeting some intelligent girl who was out for A-level celebrations. I ended up with a full drink thrown over me, vodka in my eyes then left early and stupidly played the Daily Duel and came #13 out of 13.JackHurst wrote:I went out last night and was bragging to loads of babes about my results, but I still didn't get laid.

I joke of course - such is Oxbridge that maths is probably more likely to get you laid than studying something cool.

Re: Exam results
Maths came last in the student newspaper's recent "how many people have you boned?" survey. Computer Science was second to last. I think Medicine was top, but probably only because they count it as practical training.Matt Morrison wrote:I joke of course - such is Oxbridge that maths is probably more likely to get you laid than studying something cool.

Re: Exam results
My friend just told me his degree result, so I thought that maybe other people were getting their results in / will be getting results over the coming months. Hence, bump.

Re: Exam results
exams ended like a month ago here
failed my exit exam for my stats Master's (not sure what an M.S. is equivalent to in the UK) -- though to be fair it's a bit hard to pass a graduate stats exam when you completely forget what an ANOVA is during the oral defense. Worst marks in my classes in pretty much my whole life, let alone post-high school. Also I have to wait until December for another chance at the exam and I can't find work (nor can I play poker to make money anymore).
I'd say 2011 is by far the best year of my life and it's not close

Re: Exam results
Got my exam results last week - 2:1s in all of them, rounding off a 100% streak of 2:1 consistency for my first year. Considering I've been completely demotivated this year, I'm quite pleased.

Dinos, I hope the same applied to you putting math instead of maths.
