Likewise at Oxford - only the final exams counted (though you had to pass first year exams to continue to the second year).
But you had tutorials each week, and if your tutors thought you weren't doing enough work they could set you exams mid-course called 'penal collections' and if you failed them you could be thrown out. They were rare but definitely not unknown.
