Baxter tables are used by the university to rank college exam performance for each subject and year. They are not made public so if we want to see them we'll have to calculate them ourselves

To calculate a Baxter Table

Get a class list for one subject and one year.

For each college, assign each individual mark a score from the following table:

Class 1 = Baxter score 5
Class 2.1 = Baxter score 3
Class 2.2 = Baxter scroe 2
Class 3 = Baxter score 1
Ordinary = Baxter score 0
Fail = not counted

Then find the mean for each college (add up the scores for each college and divide by the number of individual scores for that college).

Rank the colleges highest to lowest.

Well, go on then. I dunno about you, but I can't be arsed.

[Craghyrax]

Let us know when you're done, son. You might even finish before they publish the Tompkins Table!

I'll do natsci 1A (perhaps until I get bored of an endless list of undivided 2nds, but still, i have nothing better to do )

[Chewwy]

surely what you're doing above is meaningless - the 'baxter score' is a college measure, not a subject-college measure... the samples are so small that nothing interesting is there, and you learn more just looking at a class list (plus, people who fail don't show up on the class lists, so even what you have posted is likely wrong).

[FadedJade]

And there's several other people who don't fail that don't show up on the classlist either.

Er, so? 3.33 is the average Baxter score. It's not supposed to be the number of people doing SPS in that year at Peterhouse...

Yes but its still just amusingly misleading. Same with Tompkins. People put that much emphasis to one college getting x many more firsts than another and you're looking at three students in total

Incidentally I don't have a problem with Baxter/Tompkins etc. I just don't know why you're bothering to do this two weeks before somebody else does it for you

There's a result for 'Hepplewhite M R E'

That's very confusing. I thought he was a historian, but shall ask.
EDIT: His facebook says he's SPS, so he must have switched.

I've attached the full table (in OpenDocument format) if anyone wants to see it.

Of course it won't be fully accurate as not everyone who took the exam is on the class list.
