Well I got my Med School results a bit a go and...I passed, thats all they tell you in medicine, pass or fail. Graduation is next month.

What is the pass mark for medicine? I know you can pass a lot of degrees with 40% but I cant imagine a doctor who got more wrong than right haha
Nicely done indeed, I assume you're going to end up with some sort of starred first?
We get our classifications in 10 days time, then actual exam marks a couple of weeks after. Coursework averaged at 86% this year after getting 84% for 2nd year but I'm not expecting anywhere near that for exams as I had quite a lot of time off ill right before exam period (and I don't think they would have gone that well anyway).
At Bristol, it's 50%, in the first year at least.
I don't even know what a starred first is
I think it's just the different levels though the highest mark in the class gets a special award.
Hope the results work out for you, did the lecturers know you were ill as they may have taken that into account?

Starred first here (otherwise known as First with Distinction) is 80% overall with no piece of assessed work being below 70%. Apparently they award them once every 5 years or so - getting above 70% in everything is pretty tricky.
They've got me down as the highest level of concern when it comes to illness affecting results, so fingers crossed for that first still
Congrats to everyone getting their results, looks like everyone's happy so far![]()
I passed, just. Just waiting on an open unit result now.
