Passing Oxbridge Admissions Tests (Student Guides to University Entrance Series)

Description

If you are applying to Oxford or Cambridge Universities you may have to take one of the Oxbridge-specific admission tests. This text provides the essential information you need to understand the format and structure of the tests along with vital practice in the sort of questions you will face. The book covers in detail the Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA) for both institutions, focusing on critical thinking and problem solving skills. It includes a practice test with answers and explanations and also guidance on the Writing Task undertaken by applicants to Oxford. The STEP and other subject-specific tests are also examined. Key Features: All you need for the thinking skills assessments required by both Oxford and Cambridge Plenty of practice questions, with full answers and explanations Guidance on the Oxford TSA Writing Task Help with interviews and personal statements Review: Oxford & Cambridge Admissions Book - If you are a US student planning on applying for either Oxford or Cambridge in the winter of 2013, you really DO NEED to buy this book. It's indispensable and really I think it would be impossible to apply with any hope of getting an acceptance without using this book to help you. It really is a complex task in the US and UK to understand the process and procedure for applying to Oxbridge, this is the ONLY book that does this. Highly Recommended. Update: January 2014, I scored a 64.9 on the TSA using this book. Good Enough Review: A waste of money - You can find most of the information written in this book on the official TSA website. The only original thing in this book is a single test in which all answers are explained, but it is certainly not worth the price. There are much better books out there!
