Yes. It would be a shame to lose highly able female mathematicians because exams revealed more about their ability to cope with pressure than their ability to do maths.

Hm. Yes. Tho I'd figure they would do better at the coursework in the programme to even it out. But that's a guess.

They were getting significantly fewer firsts than men which is why this is being tested.

Hm. Thinking on this. Cause if all it took was time, that'd be quite interesting.

It did say that it just led to more people getting too grades rather than gap bridging. Women are hardly disadvantaged. It's 39% to 47% for 1sts in maths with women gaining year on year. I wonder what will happen if women do better.

I don't know if that is the case tho and I also suspect that this is something that could be overcome by taking a lot of exams. I say this as someone who has recently rapidly gone from stuttery state of panic to relaxed and much more articulate public speaking due to practice.

This is why I prefer my suggestion. But we'll see. Maybe it isn't pressure. Maybe it is. If it is, I'd advocate working on this when aspiring for jobs that require this skill.
