Exams and Assessments

Dust off your sub fusc because we're back to in person exams in Trinity. No scanning or uploading exam scripts required. 

For many of you this will be your first traditional examination at Oxford so we've put together a page providing a comprehensive overview of the examination process alongside some useful resources. This includes detailed guidance for Parts B, C and OMMS students regarding preparing A4 summary sheets that you are permitted to take into your examinations. 

We hope you all enjoyed the exam memes this term and found them both helpful and entertaining. The amount of information about the exams this year was overwhelming for everyone involved, so we wanted to break it down into memorable, bite-sized pieces and try to brighten the mood after a long year. 

Now that exams have started we've been able to see what the most common issues are.

Prelims and Part A students... take notes.

Load up this BBC Radio 4 episode, grab a hot drink (or a cold one now that it's almost summer) and find out how to use your breath to focus more and stress less. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000wc07

It's the last weekend before exams start. Relax, revise, and enjoy the sunshine.

Good luck to Part B and Part C students sitting exams on Monday. You've got this. 

A few reminders...

The exam questions are pouring in like this endless Oxford rain. If the sun won't brighten your day, here's to hoping that some memes will do the trick. 

Find them on our new page: Exam TL;DR (Too long; didn't read) 

Ask us questions live or listen in.

Mental Health Awareness Week isn't over just yet, so let's take a moment to reflect on other methods for exam success.

We would like to remind all Part B and Part C students that there are pre-recorded videos available to aid their revisions, in which tutors and lecturers go through selected exam papers and problem sheets. While the videos are not available for all courses, we hope that the ones included will help with your exams revision.

FAQ: What do I do if I can't submit my exam?!

Let's set the scene: You've scanned your pages (in numerical question order) and you're ready to upload when the wi-fi cuts out, Inspera malfunctions, or your cat knocks your calming camomile tea over your keyboard. Good thing you have 30 minutes of upload time that you definitely aren't using to keep writing the exam to find a solution.
