v) The Oxbridge Formula documents may have logos and digital watermarks, which are not to be removed. The tuition you’ll receive will be bespoke – i.e. you’ll receive the exact help YOU need, when you need it. This could be in the form of marking, going through marked solutions, general problem solving, or developing the right mindset.

Even as a young child, the thrill of overcoming a problem was one I relished, no matter how long it took. Mathematics, as alluring and flawless as it may seem, is full of problems, hence I was swiftly drawn into the subject. Towards the end of my final year in junior school, I realised the challenges set in school alone were not enough to quench my thirst, and began seeking logic puzzles elsewhere.

Oxford, Cambridge, and UCL all use the TSA (Thinking Skills Assessment) as a Pre-Interview 120 minute exam. (Section 1 – Problem Solving and Critical Thinking – 90 minutes; Section 2 – Essay – 30 minutes) An Oxbridge Physics interview (for Physics at Oxford or Physical Natural Sciences at Cambridge) will put completely new demands on your ability to analyse physical situations, apply advanced mathematics to them, and communicate your ideas to a tutor all the while.

Complete the form below to book. Strictly limited time slots are available, so book early to avoid disappointment. Reading Marcus du Sautoy’s “The Music of the Primes” and Simon Singh’s “Fermat’s Last Theorem” has shown how individuals have dedicated their lives to solving seemingly simple problems. The main attraction of these books and mathematics more widely, is problem solving, which is also what draws me to engineering. Solving a wide variety of problems is something I really enjoy; in the most recent UKMT Senior Maths Challenge, I was awarded a gold certificate, also the best score in my year at school.An underlying theme throughout the book is how ability, passion and potential is being sought in a successful candidate and how to display these three qualities throughout the application process be it the exams, the interviews or any experience that a candidate embarks on. While our video solutions and in-person courses will give you all of the mathematical tools and insight you need, how do you know if you’re applying them correctly when working independently? It looks and feels like a textbook, but it is peppered with excerpts from current students, tutors at the university and heads of colleges on what they have seen and would like to see in their interviews. This gives valuable insight, making the book more personable and adds a lot of warmth to the ruthless process of selection. It has been a while since I posted on education and most children (and their parents!) are missing the support of school at the moment so this is excellent timing for the publication of The Oxbridge Formula by Paarul Shah, Jessica Grindlay and Chris Parker. b) On the rare occasion that is becomes necessary, The Oxbridge Formula reserves the right to alter the course date, venue and presenters indicated at the time of booking. In such circumstances, we would endeavour to provide a substitute of equal standing.
