Replacement Entrance Exam for Cambridge University - February 7th 2003

After centuries of admitting students based on academic success and written exam results Cambridge University has decided to replace the way it awards places to students on a new revolutionary system:

"I feel that this new system of testing will ensure the students we admit fit in much better with the ethos of our establishment" a spokesperson informed us.

The new test is a 7 step physical test which determines whether the applicant is rejected, or offered a conditional/unconditional offer. The steps are as follows:

New Cambridge Entrance Examination
Step 1: Start in an Upright Position

Step 2: Relax hips and lean slightly forwards.

Step 3: Allowing your arms to drop, begin bending the body around the hips.

Step 4: As your torso lowers, reach inbetween your legs with both arms.

New Cambridge Entrance Examination
Step 5: Allow your head to follow the path that your arms are taking and push inbetween your legs.

Step 6: Once the upper half of your torso has emerged, tip your head forwards to rest on your buttocks.

New Cambridge Entrance Examination
Step 7: Continue the motion of the head as described in Step 6.

If a Student completes Step 7 they will receive an unconditional offer. If a Student completes Step 6, but fails to complete Step 7 they will be offered a conditional offer. If a student fails to complete Step 6 they will not be offered a place at Cambridge University.

Oxford University has responded by altering its entrance examination accordingly only claiming that their exam is superior to the one being used by Cambridge:

Oxford considers their examination to be of greater benefit in the workplace.

A spokesperson for Oxford University informed us:

"Cambridge will claim that their exam is more challenging and they are probably right. However we are certain that our examination will serve our students better when following their careers - particularly if they become politicians or journalists."

He finished by explaining:

“We also feel this test establishes the correct relationship between lecturer and student from the onset”
