PAT
What is the PAT?
University Courses - Physics, Engineering, Materials Science.
Universities - Oxford.
The PAT (Physics Admission Test) is a 2hr multiple choice physics and mathematics test, sat by all applicants for Physics, Engeering, and Materials Science at the University of Oxford towards the end of October.
The test mostly focusses on first year A Level Physics and Mathematics content, but there is some familiarity with second year A Level content assumed, and additional non-A Level material.
The test is delivered via a computer portal at the test centre (similar to the driving theory exam), with students provided with a booklet of mini-whiteboards for their working out.
Our Methodology
Standard 1:1 Rate: £60/hr
Standard 1:2 Rate: £37.50/hr per student
Before your first tutorial you will be asked to R.A.G rate a copy of the PAT syllabus, so we can assess where you see the gaps in your content knowledge.
In your first tutorial, you and your tutor will work out a rough schedule together for filling these gaps, including the unfamiliar second year A Level content you may not have seen in school.
At the end of each session, you will be set homework to consolidate your learning, and stretch your problem solving ability.
Once we have reviewed the required content, we will move on to problem solving practice. In your tutorials, you will discuss solutions to past papers you have attempted yourself in high detail, and review content as needed.
Before the PAT you will have:
- Reviewed key content, and consolidated your understanding through homework.
- Worked through every PAT past paper in high detail (alongside other practice papers and bespoke problem sets).
- Built confidence, and improved your problem solving skills ahead of the exam.
