MSc in Mathematical Sciences and MMath in Mathematics Handbook (2025-26)

5.6. Collections

Collections are mock exams, and OMMS students will undertake collections within the department in Week 0 of Hilary Term. This will be a paper with questions from all of the Michaelmas Term lecture courses (except those assessed by mini-project) and you will be able to answer questions on the courses you took. The collection will not be marked, but you are encouraged to mark the paper yourself using solutions available online.

Some colleges will set collections for Part C students, other students may wish to test themselves by doing practice exam questions before the beginning of Hilary Term. Such students may request the OMMS collection paper after it has been sat by emailing omms@maths.ox.ac.uk.
