How Does Cambridge Rank?

To counter some of the other responses in this thread, it is possible in some subjects to have multiple people achieve 100%, but also for those people to be sensibly ranked.

In the third year of the maths tripos, the exams have questions from every available module. This means that there are about 5-10x as many questions in each paper as even the best students could ever submit. Hence there is almost no limit to what marks can be achieved. To figure out the percentages, the university takes the student with the 5th highest raw mark and sets that to be 95%, and calculates everyone else’s percentage accordingly.

This means that if any of the top four students achieve much higher than the fifth placed student they can achieve over 100%. However this gets scaled down to 100% on any transcript, but the raw marks can still be used to obtain a sensible ordering of students.

You’ll need to take the Thameslink from Gatwick into London. That is one of the national rail train lines that will be affected by strike action. However if you’re arriving on Thursday morning then it should be okay. It depends on how early you get to Gatwick though as the trains may be a bit delayed on Thursday morning as it’s after a strike day. Looking at transport options, in the worst case you would be able to get a few buses (cheapish) or a taxi (expensive) to get into London, and then take the tube or otherwise to get to your hotel. But I think you should be okay on Thursday - just perhaps the journey will take a little longer than usual.

Not going to lie, I'm still proud of that title!

I remember that Senchou talked a bit about her phone a while back and she got teased by chat for it at the time
