WHAT DOES HONOUR MODERATIONS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Honour Moderations

Honour Moderations are a first set of examinations at Oxford University in England during the first part of the degree course for some courses. Honour Moderations have a class associated with them but this does not count towards the final degree. In other courses, Moderations and Prelims are the equivalent first set of examinations, but have no class associated with them. All three examinations are termed "First Public Examinations". Successful performance in "First Public Examinations" leads to the "Second Public Examinations", more commonly known as Finals. Finals are held at the end of all first degree courses at Oxford for arts subjects and split into examinations after the second, third and, if applicable, fourth year for science subjects. Honour Moderations in Classics have been called the hardest examination in the world. In recent times, however, with an extension in the duration of Honour Moderations in Classics, they may be less difficult than previously.
