Home School Support Schools Admissions Test Day

Here at Oxbridge Applications, we have spent the past 24 years providing Admissions Test Tuition to students applying to Oxford, Cambridge, Law schools, and Medical schools. Our trained and vetted tutors, supported by official past papers as well as our own in-house mock papers and resources, help students overcome their academic weaknesses and improve their potential for success in admissions tests.

Our Admissions Test Days provide students with a whole day of Admissions Test practice, information, and guidance, equipping them with the tools they need to streamline their preparation going forward.

How does the day work?

Morning

At the start of the day, students will be logged into Canvas, where a mock test will be uploaded ready for them to sit. This mock-test will be an in-house test paper constructed by our experts, meaning that every question is guaranteed to be new to them regardless of their level of preparation thus far.

Midday

After completing the one-hour test, students are immediately able to view their results on the multiple-choice portion of the exam. Following this, they meet with a tutor to go through their responses in detail, giving them a deeper insight into where they made mistakes and how to remedy them going forward.

Afternoon

Students collect into subject groups to participate in a two-hour skills workshop. This session is not specific to the papers they have just completed, but rather takes them through the key skills that they need to excel in their admissions test. This session is held by our Oxbridge-graduate tutors, all of whom have successfully sat tests much like those the students will be taking. These sessions are interactive, allowing students to get answers to any and all questions they may have regarding the admissions tests.

We have been leading the way since 1999 as the trusted in-house Oxbridge applications support to many of the UK’s highest-achieving schools

"At Cardiff Sixth Form College, one of the cornerstones of our provision is that we 'demand and deliver excellence'. Our partnership with Oxbridge Applications, is a wonderful example of this, with expert guidance provided for our students and expert training provided for our staff in the pursuit of the highest university ambitions."

Gareth Collier, Principal, Cardiff Sixth Form College

"Oxbridge Applications have offered an invaluable service in supplementing Marlborough College's programme of preparation for Oxbridge admissions tests and interviews.

The quality of their tutors always impresses our pupils, whose feedback is consistently positive."

Andrew Oxburgh, Head of Oxbridge, Marlborough College

"We have been really happy with the way Oxbridge Applications have helped to guide our students through the demands of the application process, providing high quality feedback and support at all stages."

Ruth Lexton, Head of Oxbridge, Wellington College

“Thank you so much for the interview day today. The students were nervous (which is normal) but they all commented on just how interesting and stimulating the interviews were. They all commented on the professionalism of the tutors, and they all learned a lot from the experience. They will certainly be more confident and prepared for any Oxbridge interviews that they might face in the future. Thank you again for a wonderful event!! We look forward to working with you again in the future!"

Peter Sullivan, British School of Madrid

“Another great day and the students, as ever, got a huge amount out of it. We hope to see you next year!”

Ed Lamb, Davenport High School

I just wanted to let you know the wonderful news that [student] has received an offer! I have no doubt that the two interviews with you played a massively vital role in securing this offer and wish to offer my most profound gratitude. Your patient and kindly approach really settled his nerves and he performed superbly well in his interviews with Cambridge. A huge "thank you" to Alison and Alicia for all of your help.

House Mistress at King's Ely School

We’ve had Oxbridge Applications help us for eight years. Efficiency, quality and adaptability are what recommend them to us, and they are consistently rated ‘outstanding’ by the pupils.

Guy Nobes, Marlborough College

Can I just say a huge thank you to you and your team. You have been amazing. The amount and quality of support has been phenomenal and we are incredibly grateful.

Nick Berman, Future Academies

Thank you so much for this afternoon with our Year 12s - the session was really useful and the feedback has been great.

Julia Johnson, Emanuel School

“Thank you again - from my point of view, the remote interviews worked really well. It was good to have access to a larger number of tutors, to give all the pupils two interviews, and for me to be able to drop in on them too. I was particularly impressed with Alison's interviewing! Really helpful!

School Partner

Terry McDermott, Surbiton High School

“I have used Oxbridge Applications with many students over the years and have found them to be excellent. They have contributed to innovations in our Oxbridge support which has seen our Oxbridge offers at Surbiton High triple in recent years when most independent schools are seeing their offers go in the opposite direction. I am happy to use their services year after year."
