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. 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. 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. If you have a child in years 11 or 12 likely to do well/ or having done well in their GCSEs then this book is well worth your time. Although principally aimed at those planing on studying sciences including medicine and the more mathematical subjects such as economics there is much good advice here for any student in lower 6th (year 12). It covers the degrees mainly offered by the STEM subjects with a very big emphasis on the Maths and a bonus chapter on philosophy. Each section highlights; The different variations of the degree (did you know Philosophy and Maths was an option?), how the subject is offered in Oxford vs Cambridge, what exams are needed, the expected work load in the first year (the thought is a workout in itself…) and interestingly recommended reads to deepen an understanding of a subject.

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.I thoroughly enjoyed the efficiency in which the book. There are QR codes in sections discussing exams that enables the reader to take a look at past papers instantaneously (provided you have an internet connection). a) The intent of The Oxbridge Formula’s services is to educate students and allow students to explore mathematical ideas in unfamiliar contexts.

c) The Oxbridge Formula also does not guarantee any specific positive outcome from using our content or services. 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. v) The amount of time between a monthly billing interval is one month. This means 30 days for some months (April, June etc.), 31 days for others, and then 28 or 29 days for February.v) The Oxbridge Formula documents may have logos and digital watermarks, which are not to be removed. Complete the form below to book. Strictly limited time slots are available, so book early to avoid disappointment. or presented in speech or writing at a The Oxbridge Formula course or through another of The Oxbridge Formula’s services A successful Oxbridge application can have so many parts – personal statement, admissions test, interview, A-level performance… you’ll want to make sure you get the most out of the precious time you have. As someone who has graduated in an arts degree, I found the book very math heavy. There is a lot space dedicated to solving math questions and I wonder if those would have been more beneficial outside the book. I would wager that maths is the authors passion and that shows in the book. But once again, the volume of maths doesn’t detract from the mission of the book, it just makes it a bit cumbersome at times. But I say this as a person who has specialised in the humanities.

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.The Oxbridge Formula cannot be held responsible for any loss, damage or expense resulting from any delay, variation or failure in the provision of services or facilities relating to any programme or course arising from circumstances beyond The Oxbridge Formula’s reasonable control, including (but not limited to) earthquake, flood, storm, act of God or of public enemies, national emergency, invasion, insurrection, riots, industrial disputes, boycott, interruption of services rendered by any public utility, or interference from any local, national or supra-national government agency or official.

All the staff and tutors were helpful and reliable, especially Paarul, who has a firm grasp on the necessary requirements and rigours of achieving success at the highest level, for each and every student on The Oxbridge Formula. With admissions now so competitive, you can’t afford to fall behind on any part. But we’ve found through experience that they key to every part of the application is having an expert to talk to – not least because learning from someone who truly understands your subject will massively advance your own subject understanding, which will then shine through in your performance in tests and at interview.
