When I applied I didn't need to do a test. Did have 3 interviews asking for similar shit though.
Do all applicants now have to sit an admissions test or is it college-based like it used to be?

Hey, would you mind posting the rest of the pages of pic related? Doing the MAT next week and would love to practice these

For Oxford, all Maths, CompSci and Engineering degrees need to take a prior exam to weed out some of the applicants (MAT/MAT/PAT respectively, I think). Taking the MAT myself next Thursday for Mathematics and Computer Science.

This isn't a test, just a compiled list of questions for people to practice before the test/interview
Christopher Morales
Yeah I'm preparing for the MAT but not for Oxford, also the TMUA. It's pretty tiring going through those massive papers
Brandon Cook
Pretty much the same for physics.
What scores are you guys getting in the PAT/MAT? Sometimes I manage 70+, sometimes i just hit the threshold mark. I'm worried that under timed conditions I won't do as well. If all goes to hell I may reapply a year after.

In the MAT I'm finding it hard to precisely mark since the solutions don't show distribution of marks, but generally doing 65-70. Haven't done it under time conditions yet, which is worrying, since I'm on a gap year and have been working in industry at the same time (was good in theory, buy is making it difficult to revise!). Is the PAST on the same day?

Ignore the first part of . Only the specimen solutions don't show solution distribution and I've been saving the majority of the test papers for this week
Jackson Miller
I'm going to fail this thing, jesus christ. I got a 79 on the 2013 MAT, and everything else I got ~55 on. What is wrong with me?
Zachary Thompson
Next week? It's not this Thursday for you?
