How will my work be assessed?
Your work will be examined in a variety of ways. Some parts of the Tripos are assessed by submitted work in the form of essays or dissertations, others by practical work (drama productions, musical performances and composition, laboratory or fieldwork notebooks) and others by written examination papers. The exact balance between these different forms of assessment will depend on the subjects being studied and the papers that you choose.
Normally you can expect to find that 75% of your assessment is through written examination papers.
