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.

In sixth form, I have had the most thought-provoking lessons in Further Mathematics, where I found the Mechanics and Further Pure modules especially fascinating. The idea that complicated concepts such as matrices had applications in computing, or projectile motion calculations in sport, tied mathematics to real-life situations, which only increased my curiosity about the subject. [ Top tip: Here, you could provide a link to something done on top of the study of these subjects in school, to show engagement and evidence of self-study.] In Physics, the mechanics modules overlapped and reinforced my knowledge. It doesn’t stop there…The Oxbridge Formula talks about the interview processes at different colleges, a variety of interview scripts, the successful personal statements and outlines of the sort of people that apply to the programme showing which ones are successful and which aren’t and most importantly why they didn’t succeed.

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. 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.

a) The intent of The Oxbridge Formula’s services is to educate students and allow students to explore mathematical ideas in unfamiliar contexts. 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.You will be given a complete debrief from the tutor after each interview, so you can practise acting on their advice in the next. c) The Oxbridge Formula also does not guarantee any specific positive outcome from using our content or services. 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. 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.

vii) Fair Use Policy: free trials exist to allow students to sample courses they are interested in purchasing; they are intended for the student named in the account only; The Oxbridge Formula reserves the right to take steps to prevent the abuse of free trials. is merely advisory. The Oxbridge Formula does not make any guarantees as to its accuracy or usefulness and is not responsible for the consequences of its use. If it is written or presented by an individual, it is their opinion only. You use it entirely at your own risk. 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. b) Students are expected to make their own travel arrangements to and from the venue and/or attend on Zoom Complete the form below to book. Strictly limited time slots are available, so book early to avoid disappointment.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.
