Academic Records

Why? Link to heading

As I continue through my career, my academic history becomes less and less relevant, but I see no reason in hiding my previous performance behind some form of ‘available on request’ message.

In the interest of openness, here are the exact results I got through the entirety of my academic career.

University of Cambridge - BA (Hons.), MA (Cantab.) Link to heading

Note: My Oxbridge MA was issued in 2018. See my explanation of Cambridge degrees for more information about the Oxbridge MA.

  1. This paper was marked like an old-style A-level (pre-A*). B is the second-highest available grade. This paper was also worth up to 20 UCAS points, with a B being worth 17. ↩︎

  2. Equivalent to four GCSEs, A*, A*, A, A. ↩︎

  3. I always found these papers interesting. M8, M9 and M10 separately could only assess extremely narrow bands of candidates. M10 could only tell you if a candidate was A*, A, or neither. M9 would then tell you if a candidate was ‘A or better’, B, or neither, and M8 ‘B or better’, C, or neither. To quote Ofqual/12/5154 (Review of Standards in GCSE Mathematics, April 2012): "[T]he grade range for the module paper was much narrower than that in the terminal paper. […]. The effect of these modules was to offer students more opportunities to show what they know understand and can do at each grade within the paper." ↩︎

  4. ‘Short Course’ GCSEs are only worth half a GCSE. ↩︎ ↩︎ ↩︎

  5. Each worth equivalent to half a ‘passing’ GCSE (e.g. ½ of a C grade). ↩︎ ↩︎
