Do you mean fail, as in fail, or fail, as in... not getting a Firsts or 2:1?

If you're finding the first year too hard, I'd focus my energys on getting 40% and then looking at transferring to another University, as each year only gets harder. Most Universities will easily offer you a place for a first year pass (40%) at Cambridge. You may even get into some very respectible Universities, like Warwick, or Bath.


I mean actually fail, yeah sub-40%.

I've never heard of anyone transferring universities like that. If it's possible I need to look into that.

Good luck with your exam.

I've got a friend who's transferring from my University (Kent), to one closer to home (Birmingham)... they're asking for 65%, if she gets it, she transfers. Of course, you being at Cambridge, the offer will be much lower. Still worth looking into.

But, I've heard about the work load. I've got a mate doing CS at Cambridge, and he was literally studying for 4 or 5 hours everyday during the easter break... mad props to people doing that kind of work, I know that I don't have that kind of motivation.
