Covering each section of the Oxbridge application
Whether you’re just starting your UCAS application, crafting a standout personal statement, studying for the admissions test, or preparing for the interview. Whatever stage you’re at, this book is your go-to guide to building a strong foundation for your preparation.
UCAS Application
Know exactly what admissions tutors are looking for before you write a single word. We break down the form, the deadlines, and the decisions that trip most applicants up so you don’t make the same mistakes.
Admission Tests
Every test is different, and preparation that works for LNAT won’t work for ESAT. We cover what each test actually assesses, how to approach it, and, if you add the past papers of your preference, you’ll have practice questions to work through immediately.
Personal Statement
Learn the structure that works, the phrases that don’t, and how to make your passion for your subject come through clearly in 4,000 characters and examples per subject so you can start with your first draft.
Interview
Oxbridge interviews are unlike any other. Understand what tutors are really testing for, how to handle questions you’ve never seen before, and what successful applicants do differently, straight from students who got their offers.
