I didn't go to Oxford but it's inevitably a lot of work, and you really have to treat it as a full-time job. Keep in mind also that terms at Oxford are only 8 weeks long, but you're still covering the same amount of content, if not more, than at other universities with 11-week terms. But if 80-90% of students end up getting a 2:i or First, then clearly if you're good enough to get in you're probably good enough to do well.
