#OXFORD 

This is sooo wonderfully helpful for preparation! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos :)

Hi Matt, mayhaps 'tis better to think of learning/test taking as playing, a similar attitude to music practice maybe. Also just to say thank you to you as because of your vids (and her efforts) daughter has an Oxford offer - Yay! You have been a brilliant asset and I continue to watch your vids as you are an engaging educator generally - thanks again. You rock!

Hi Matt! Thank you for this video, watching you solve these questions gave me insight into how we should approach exams like this! Could you make a similar video on you trying out the LNAT? It'd be of great help :D

Hello Matt, I have a very embarrassing query to ask but it’s been bothering me for quite a while. I joined an essay competition hosted by one college at Cambridge university and used chatgpt to reword a few paragraphs so that I fit the word limit and sound more succinct. With that said, the ideas and content of the actual essay were completely my own. I also mentioned that I used the Ai the way that I did when I handed in my essay so that I was honest with the work I produced. Do you think that that may ruin my chances at getting into Cambridge or Oxford in the future? I am very stressed about this as I don’t normally use Ai or chatgpt for academic works.

Bonjour Matt, first of all THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the videos, the tips and just for taking the time to share knowledge that is not available to foreigners. I have a question, in my essay about international finance law, I have a clear structure to my essay with I) A) 1) 2) in it. I don't know if that is acceptable or not. Should I just tell in my intro what I am going to do without making this apparent ? Again thank you for everything.

Hi Matt! In a previous video I think you mentioned that the TSA is particularly about having mental endurance as it is quite a long test, so would it not be better to practice whole past papers at a time rather than 20mins a day as you suggested here? Thanks for all the help!

I find myself to be quite skilled at maths, just did not choose it for A Level (but doing it at a lower level so i am getting most of it like integration and differentiation) over here we have "Pure Mathematics" and "Applied Mathematics" instead, with most people including me doing the pure option as applied is more for people in physics. Sadly though the biggest thing that is discouraging me from this course is the international fees when you factor in living costs too... (Malta is not eligible for any of the bursaries and scholarships) Overall i have found this video to be very informative and thank you for making it.

Plus what percentage mark on the TSA would GUARANTEE you in the top 25%, and yes i know it varies year from year, but a rough estimate would be nice.

Hi Matt! Thank you for this video, it was really helpful. I’m a little concerned about something so I wanted to ask you, if my country (Venezuela) does not have an authorized center where I can take my admission test, what should I do? I'm looking forward to your answer. Kind regards

If I only get a score in the 60s but have really good predicted grades, great rankings within my school and contextual flags am I still likely to get an interview at least? (This is for psychology)

Dear Matt , Lets say my predicted grades are not high enough in time for the application but i still sit the TSA exam and do excellent, then later on my predicted grades are submitted later through a delayed ucas application what will happen in this case. Thank you

hi Matt. i found out after sitting my a levels that i was supposed to receive extra time and breaks (i didn’t get either for both gcses and a levels which meant i couldn’t actually finish many of the papers which is annoying, but hopefully what i did write was good enough). would you recommend i put this in my reference so they know? will colleges care though? also if i reapply for PPE, could i get extra time and breaks for the TSA or does everyone get 90 minutes irrespective of illnesses? i sat it last year but only had time to do 41/50 questions which basically shot my chances of getting in. i’m also considering whether to reapply still. i applied for PPE last year to oxford, lse and edinburgh but got straight rejections. my stats were 9999999887 with 4a* predictions. people have said my gcses are too low in comparison to most applicants, but also that if i have actually achieved my predicted grades then i am in a much better position. thanks :))

Hello , I would like to apply in october 2024 for october 2025 entry ( God willing ) . Oxford is early entry( october 15) but the TSA is on the 24 october? . How does this work?

Hello, thanks for the video, a question from Hong Kong viewer. May I know if the math score must counts as a subject for Oxford PPE, if I can’t get an A or A* in math so I don’t choose math as a subject for application, will it mean an impossibility for me to get into this subject. Thankyou

Hi, quick question ; if you don't take Maths when applying for PPE how badly does it reflect on your application because it recommends on the oxford website to take maths, and says History would be helpful, so clearly Maths is a bigger priority. Since i don't think my GCSE results for Maths would allow me to take Maths as an A level which i want to, does this weaken my application. By the way, im definitely picking Politics and Econ for a-levels and would have taken maths as a 3rd but dont think i will be able to, so im thinking of switching that with History (or Psychology), so how do those combination of subjects effect my application. Plus, sorry one more thing, would you recommend me independently studying Maths up to AS level, because I've heard yr 12 maths is easier than yr 13. And i do know all of this factors in with TSA results and Personal Statement i just want to know which combination of subjects or routes i should take to ensure my application is strong. So let me know!

hey, just had a question about the TSA test- is there any chance of it being removed or cancelled in the coming years? Will there be no admissions test for courses such as PPE in the coming years (2025 intake)

I'm a student from HK, I want to know if using AI tools such as ChatGPT is accepted for rephrasing my personal statement or it's a violation to the rules? Thanks a lot!

hello Mr.Matt,i would like to ask about the textbooks related to the maths,further maths，physics and geography😊

Hello Matt, Firstly I would like to thank you so much for this video. Secondly I would like to ask two questions. 1)How do i complete my UCAS application properly to prevent any mistakes? 2) I would like to know the number of tests Economics and Management students take. Thank you Matt.

Dear Sir, My sister studies in Kolkata, India. She has taken 5 A Levels. Her school had given her a list of 6 subjects. The minimum number of subjects to be chosen is 5. The maximum number of subjects to be chosen is 6. Can taking 5 subjects instead of 6 hurt her chances of getting into Oxford?
