The results of his civil service exams infuriate Keynes. He writes to Strachey:
"I have done worst in the only two subjects of which I possessed a solid knowledge - Mathematics and Economics. I scored more marks for English History than for Mathematics - is it credible? For Economics I got a relatively low percentage and was eight or ninth in order of merit..."
He was later to say: "I evidently knew more about Economics than my examiners."
