    When are Christmas exam results usually released?

    Are they sent out in the post or do we have to wait until Hilary term?

    I'm itching to find out my maths result!

    You'll have to wait until Hilary Term.

    Yep, Hilary term, and the method very much depends on the lecturer. Anything from handing them out in class, to posting the results on a notice board to posting them on an intranet (only if the course already uses one).

    Ugh, Hilary Term is ages away! Maybe I could sweet talk my lecturer into giving me mine early.

    You lecturer will be correcting them over the Michaelmas Term Vacation. Just be patient.

    Yeah, it wouldn't be a good idea to go looking for results before they are released to all students at the same time. You'll put your lecturer in an awkward position (which is never a good idea), and the answer will still be no. Furthermore, normally results only get released after they have gone through various formalities (less so for Christmas exams, but still), and it's usually a matter of hours (or minutes) between the final formality and the release.

    Ask the average member of teaching staff and they'll tell you that if they have to get the marks back to an administrator for collating, they finish marking them ten seconds before they are due to drop them back to the office ;)

    Also lots of exams in Trinity are anonymously marked so it's only at a very late stage that scripts get matched back to human beings.

    So don't worry, enjoy holidays etc, and the results will be with you some time in two-double-oh-eight.
