In addition to these resources, your students can test their mathematics and science knowledge to see how their answers compare to 4th and 8th grade students from countries around the world. By clicking on the icon above, students are provided the opportunity to test their knowledge of mathematics and science topics at their own convenience. In addition to learning the answers to the mathematics and science questions, students can also learn other interesting tidbits about the topics covered by the items and the countries that have participated in prior TIMSS assessments.

Cambridge examiners are teachers or experts in their subject, and they are carefully selected and trained. It is vital that they all mark to the same standard so that we can award the right mark to every candidate every time.
The table below contains past papers and solutions, as well as general feedback on the admissions round for each year from 2010 onwards. Three averages are given for each year; $\mu_1$ is the average score of all Oxford applicants for Maths, Maths & Stats, and Maths & Philosophy, $\mu_2$ is the average score of those applicants who were shortlisted for interview, and $\mu_3$ is the average score of those applicants who were made offers. Similar statistics for Maths & Computer Science, Computer Science, and Computer Science & Philosophy applicants are available on the Computer Science departmental website.
The Notes for the past papers are intended for candidates using the past papers to prepare for MAT 2021. They mostly refer to syllabus changes. Note that there are 18 papers listed below, which is far more than we would expect any applicant to attempt.
In 2020, 2021, and 2022, the department organised a multiple-choice test in the style of Q1 on the MAT. This was arranged for a small number of candidates in each year who had been shortlisted without a MAT score, and the test was administered just before interviews. The test papers and solutions are available in the table below for those who wish to see more multiple-choice questions in the style of Q1 on the MAT.
As agreed by the Teaching Committee, the department rule is to publish, at any point, the summer exam papers for the last 10 years. The solutions are published every three years and only three sets of solutions willl be made available.
The papers provided here are up to date as of the relevant examination that candidates sat in April/May/June. If any corrections were made to the paper during the examination, where possible the corrected paper is provided. If later revisions of the examination papers are received, the date of upload will be noted next to the relevant paper.
These model answers are provided as a guide to students as to what is expected in a good solution to an examination question. Due to the process by which they have been compiled it is unavoidable that there will be a few cases for which the model answer given here does not match the question asked in the final form of the examination paper.
By their nature, they can look quite challenging at the start of the year. The only route to success is practice, practice, practice. To help you on your way, we have compiled an archive of recent Comprehensive Papers for you to try for yourself. Some papers have model solutions so you can see the style and detail of solution expected.
In terms of the length of the questions, questions in paper 2 will be of similar length to the questions in the archive of Comprehensive papers. Questions in paper 1 will be typically shorter than in the archived papers. In order to reflect this difference, questions are marked out of 20 marks in paper 1 and out of 30 marks in paper 2.
There are two Year 3 core modules, Solid State Physics and Nuclear & Particle Physics. The examiners do not expect detailed knowledge of these two courses. However, it should be noted that some basic concepts in these area are covered in other courses.
Examples:
The Summer Examinations Timetable is created every year based on the year 3 & 4 options selected by students. The Year 1 & 2 exams are usually fixed but still subject to changes. The Exams Timetabling Policy is considered when creating the timetable.
We expect to publish the provisional timetable by November each year. The finalised timetable, whch includes the location, is usually published at the end of term 2. The finalised timetable should include the main location for each exam. Candidates who have confirmed Additional Exam Arrangement provisions and have been assigned an individual room will be contacted via email to confirm their examination venues.
Most examination enquiries can be answered using the materials on the Physics webpages, however, if you have further questions please see the list of contacts below:
General examinations enquiries should be directed to the Examinations and Information Officer, Victor Urubusi
Before taking the test, you will fill out important information on Side 1 of your answer sheet. First, you will be asked to read and sign a statement on your answer sheet stating that you are well enough to take the test, a resident of New York City, and are taking the test for the correct grade level.
Any student who refuses to put away or turn in a prohibited device will not be allowed to take the test. Possession of prohibited items at any time during the test administration, even if powered off, will result in the test being invalidated. Students will not be provided with an opportunity to make up the exam on a subsequent day.
After scores are released to the schools in the spring, students and their parents may review the results of their examinations by requesting an appointment with a Department of Education assessment specialist.
This year grading will include an allowance for disruption so that overall results will be similar to those of 2019. So where national performance is found to be lower than it was prior to the pandemic, senior examiners will make allowances when setting grade boundaries.
As always, exams will be marked by independent examiners, using the published mark schemes. Grading happens after marking, and to ensure fairness is done year by year because the papers change from one year to the next.
While grades play a big part in university applications, admissions teams also consider a broad range of information about a student, including their predicted grades, personal statement, teacher references or other assessments and interviews.
The table below shows the key dates and deadlines (over a 12-week period) for the University's provisions for Recounts and return of examination scripts following the date of the release of confirmed results for the 2024 examination periods.
Final results for papers can be viewed in the Examinations and Results section of the student eVision portal as soon as they become available each teaching period. Initially "Unconfirmed" will be shown alongside them. Once "Unconfirmed" is no longer showing, results are official.
Applications for a recount must be made within four weeks from the date of the release of confirmed results (see above for dates). A recount involves a careful re-check of the marks that count toward your final result in a paper. The purpose of a recount is to ensure that no answer, no portion of an answer, or any work undertaken during the teaching period which counts for the final result, has been overlooked. No personal information accompanying the application is passed onto the examiners.
The administration fee is $36 per paper, regardless of how many examinations a paper has. This is because a recount is a check of all marks that comprise the final grade in a particular paper. Please see below for information on paying administration fees. Where a recount results in a change of mark, the administration fee will be refunded.
Not all examination scripts can be returned. If your answers involved problem solving, were answered on multi-choice answer sheets for computer marking or a Department requires a particular examination paper to be embargoed from publication and not released into the public domain then you will not be able to have your script returned to you. However, you can still view it.
Students who have failed a paper but who have completed course work satisfactorily may apply for Final Examination Only enrolment. If approved, internal marks are carried over and the examination may be sat at the end of the next teaching period that the paper is offered.
Chapter 6 Section 18 of the Higher Education Ordinance (SFS 1993:100) states that a grade shall be awarded on completion of a course, unless otherwise provided by the higher education institution. The higher education institution may determine which grading system is to be used. The grade shall be determined by a teacher specifically nominated by the higher education institution (the examiner).
Incoming exchange students can always, regardless of scale, request a grade on the ECTS scale, which awards grades from A to E (pass range) and FX/F (fail range). The scale is goal-related in its application by KI.
Exam papers are marked as soon as possible after submission. Only in exceptional cases may the marking process take longer than ten working days. The result will then be registered in Ladok within five working days.
If an examiner finds that a decision on a grade is obviously incorrect owing to new circumstances or for some other reason, he or she is to change the decision if this can be done quickly and easily and if it does not mean lowering the grade. (Higher Education Ordinance Chapter 6 Section 24).
There is no time limit for requesting a grade review. However, the longer you wait, the harder it is to review the grade, since (for instance) the assignment might no longer remain in the files. A review should therefore be requested, if necessary, as soon after the decision as possible. If you receive at least a Pass grade, you may not have it downgraded to a Fail at your own request.
