Well, I got a double distinction in prelims and a first in finals at Oxford, but no-one mentioned anything about a double first 
... I sort of assumed a double first meant sitting finals in two separate subjects...
... I sort of assumed a double first meant sitting finals in two separate subjects...yes, & as i said in my original post.. i thought the 2 separate subjects was the original, literal meaning.
I apologise, my "we" common usage of the term was actually only on behalf of the members of Oxford university i associate with & have discussed this with..evidently not includding you..
but as it's an unofficial thing anyway, no special gold certificate alas, it doesn't really matter & wouldn't necessarily be mentioned..
& thanks for the 1* link Fluffs.. I'd never heard of them here!
Maths & then Physics though..ick.

Must have passed me completely by when I was there, hence my surprise at the modern meaning
.And you're right, it is completely irrelevant!

I always understood a double first to be a joint honours thing. I haven't heard of 1* degrees before - they certainly don't offer them at St Andrews.

i've also heard of double-starred firsts at cambridge... they sound rather nice
One star degree is already enough. It's way over the top. To get a double starred I think you need to get 96% or above.Reply 31

Starred also means different things in different courses, like in Physics it apparently only means getting a first on all your papers (which is a hell of a lot easier than a 95% average). They don't get officially published on the class lists anyway iirc so it's all a bit pointless.
In compsci the top two get prizes and some of the top few projects get prizes.
