Exam Results

Picture of buntingAll exam results should now be available through EUCLID. A total of 278 students sat the Inf1-DA exam this year, with over 95% passing and very many achieving Grade A. Those are excellent results, congratulations.

I’ll publish a more detailed feedback report later, with information about student solutions to all of the exam questions. If you have questions or concerns about your result in this or any other course then contact your Personal Tutor to discuss this further.
