What percentage of questions on a test do you need to get right for it to be considered a minimum pass in the UK? Is it like the rest of Europe where it's half, or is it the superior American standard where it's two thirds?

[Anonymous No.22935560]

I would wager about 10% of intelligent people are schoolable, while 100% of morons are schoolable.

Giftedness completely confounds midwit parents and teachers. And friends. Envy causes others to overlook you, and poverty is an insurmountable barrier for all but the lottery winners.

About half, but maths and english (which you have to retake if you fail) are roughly 40%. Only half the country actually get those 2 each year lmao.

That said, the exams you take at 18 are significantly harder than SATs and you need to be scoring around 90% to get into any decent uni.

Pure cope. The requirements to enter russel group unis are in some cases lower than their fibreglass counterparts, in part due to DEI. You can get into Newcastle on CCC if you’re black via the partners programme.
Literally having a degree in a real subject and being 2:1 or 1st is what counts. Would you rather speak to a 1st from MMU or a 3rd from Cambridge? I know for a fact I’d pick the MMU graduate because he probably has something more interesting to say than the cambridge 3rd who may have only attended for “the lifestyle“ and to make one of those student blogger pages where people record the uni basketball team, hoing out to buy overpriced tea, and foreign students acting surprised when locals have a go at them for making snarky comments about the area.

Most unis work on “ucas points.“ To “fail“ an exam just means getting no UCAS points which varies by subject but in some subjects can be as little as 20%. Unis set requirements like “120 points“ which for students in normal schools is BBB but for students in better state schools and elite private schools (where you take more subjects at A level) this is something like CCCD, which is considered abysmal in private schools btw.
However there’s nothing to stop people from getting a ton of points by half assing a ton of courses. Also you can do other things to increase your points (a relative of mine got ucas points for helping out with PE lessons and now he goes to Durham). The most common way to do this is EPQ which is where you write a first year of uni style essay on a topic of your choice or core maths. Both of these are worth half an a level if you get an A which is very easy (I basically didn’t revise for core maths and got a B).
It’s for reasons like this (and also grade inflation) that very elite universities sometimes require an interview. However most of the Russel group you can just apply online via ucas without ever meeting someone face to face.

You are very much pushed to apply for Russel group and oxbridge if you’re competent. I told my form tutor I didn’t want to (I’m a sperg who doesn’t like leaving his native county and I doubt I could get the grades to get in) and she tried to convince me to do so even after I said no. I applied to one Russel group and one fibreglass uni as a back up. The predicted grades were massively inflated that year. Lots of people were left without a place or accepting leftovers because they’d used their reserve choice to apply to another elite uni to “keep their options open.”

Modern British universities fill many roles, the least of them being actual learning.

Expensive visa farms for third-worlders
International rentseeking on their inflated reputation
Public sector subsidies for post-industrial towns
Communist brainwashing & sinecures
etc

And for the average student, it's to show a future employer that you're just a little more diligent and smarter than the average retard (at the cost of tens of thousands of pounds) because simply taking an IQ test is apparently illegal.

The approximate British analogue to Ivy League is Oxbridge. It’s just Oxford and Cambridge. But in truth, that’s unfair to say because Oxford and Cambridge are much better than the Ivy Lague universities and the former Colonial Colleges.

I’m 19 and younger than a good few of my fellow students (apparently foundation years are relatively common). Apparently I look older and I’ve been told it’s the way I dress but I don’t think check shirts, chinos, and jumpers age a man that much.

It matters in Anglophone countries. People who graduated from the top unis monopolize recruiting into the top tier of politics and professions. They only hire people who went to the schools they went to, they fund people who went to the schools they went to, etc. It’s not that you can’t make it if you don’t go to one, but they are the only schools that have established strangleholds on these things due to this in-group preference. Look at how many Parliamentarians went to Oxbridge, for example.

40% but if you keep doing this you get “3rd” degree when what you really want is “2:1” or a “1st” so you evidence of your superiority over your fellow man and can get a good job. To be fair though you can work for a bank on a “2:2” so there’s still plenty of opportunities for “2:2” graduates but a “3rd” is basically a waste of time.

No, they aren't. MIT is the best university in the world and it's not even close. It's a feeder university for the Silicon Valley and NASA. Meanwhile Oxbridge is only responsible for shitty prime-ministers and irrelevant philosophers

The British system is such a scam because every university charges the same tuition (£9000 a year). It means that the University of Portsmouth costs as much to attend as the University of Oxford despite that the later's employment success rate is far superior. In other words, either you attempt to be admitted into the top 10 universities or don't bother at all.
I wonder if UCAs system allows you to be accepted into American universities which are superior anyway. Oxbridge keeps getting humiliated by Harvard and MIT every year. At some point, they even dropped out of the top 3 global rank lol
