Form and conduct of examinations

Notices by Faculty Boards, or other bodies concerned, of changes to the form and conduct of certain examinations to be held in 2017–18, by comparison with those examinations in 2016–17, are published below. Complete details of the form and conduct of all examinations are available from the Faculties or Departments concerned.

Asian and Middle Eastern Studies Tripos, Parts IIa, Ib, and II, 2018: Correction

The notice published on 8 November 2017 (Reporter, 6483, 2017–18, p. 99) contained an error. Papers J15 and J19 were incorrectly listed under Part Ib and should instead be listed as East Asian Studies papers in Part II. The amended form and conduct list for the East Asian Studies papers in Part II should therefore read as set out below. The conduct information itself is unchanged.
