Although certain colleges (such as Emmanuel, Christ's and Trinity) always place highly in the Tompkins Table, positions can and do fluctuate wildly from year to year.

The university also goes to some length to point out that people in the lower-placed colleges do often get firsts and people in the higher-placed college still get thirds - this is down to the simple fact that, although there is some academic variation between colleges, this is nowhere near as pronounced as the variation one might expect between different universities (since lectures, exams, and sometimes even supervisions at Cambridge are centrally organised by the university rather than by the individual colleges).

The corresponding rankings for the University Of Oxford is the Norrington Table . Since Oxford adopted split second-class degrees in 1986, the Norrington Table has adopted the Tompkins Table method of scoring, but without the weighting attached to individual subject scores.
