I find this site kind of strange...it does not have an oxford domain...ox.ac.uk and surely, when the exam schools aren't allowed to give results over the phone, how could they publish them? Just a thought...

Well, obviously if it's not an official site it can't be on the ox.ac.uk domain... It looks as though students just take pictures of lists at the exam schools and other students then put the pictures up on that site. I doubt this is endorsed by the exam schools, but the lists aren't secret and there's probably nothing to stop students from taking pictures (and even then they could still copy them by hand).:dontknow:
Essentially it's just giving people who are out of Oxford when the results lists are published access to the exam schools, as it were...

Because all that website does is publish a photo - there's no data protection or copyright issues, since the information is in the public domain and Exam Schools doesn't put copyright on the class lists.
Any chance we could resurrect this thread and get people to take pictures of the pass lists and posting them again? As far as I can see there isn't a new thread for it, and I'm sure many people found this one really useful last year.

I agree! Why do you want to see crappy photos of results, when the pdfs are on the oxford website!

But it's soooo useful! You can get access to all the oxfordy journal subscriptions and everything! I had no trouble getting it to work on the home PC, but I had to uninstall it and try again on my laptop. It's definitely worth it :smile:. Although if it still doesn't work and you want to find out your results, if you tell me your subject and email, I can mail a printscreen of the results to you :smile:

Also, that site means that students for years to come can see who failed what, whereas on the exams schools, it's limited to 1 or 2 years. Interesting for nosey buggers such as moi, but not that nice for them.

There's a very straightforward guide on how to set up the VPN on the oucs website.
Is it true that the list are put up in exams schools before they're uploaded on to the official website?

No, Maths and Phil Part C is not up on the Schools website.

Thank you! I'll have a go with setting it up from scratch (again) tomorrow, hopefully will be ok. Anyway I don't need access to any oxford thingies, since I've finished, except the results!! :biggrin:
Anyone have any inside info on when Maths Part B will be out? I've finally found the link on the Maths website to the notice telling us they should be out by Thursday, but does the earliness of the Part C results affect the timing of Part B? (According to the website, Part C were due out on upcoming Monday (23/6), but actually came out two days ago.)

PS Tell me it's entirely natural to sit in front of your computer hitting the refresh button on the Exam Results page (even though it's a Saturday!)...

I did the same thing, then ended up finding out from a friend who happened to be walking past exam schools!

Does anyone know if there have been any new results outside schools yet today? I haven't noticed any changing on the website but thought mine would be out today...

i think so, i think (from someone's status on facebook :p: ) that earth science prelims are out at least, but they're not on the site...

Did you say you were waiting for 4th year maths & phil celia? As of midday today my friend hadn't got his, he said the philosophy bit is taking a while longer to mark.
