Dunno - sorry...

Keep an eye on http://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/courses/engineering

The NSAA (NatSci) has the same - they have explained Section 1 but not Section 2 (yet?).

You can:
Do past A-level multi-choice questions
Do the Oxford PAT
Do the AS-Challege and BPhO and A2 challenge
Visit Isaacphysics or i-want-to-study-engineering.com
just do test book questions under time pressure. I hope this helps!

Good luck!

In as level I got A - Physics (AQA Linear) A - Maths (edexcel) A - Further Maths (Edexcel) B - Electronics (wjec)

I'm predicted A* for maths, A for Further maths and A for physics.

Did initially apply for trinity but changed to open application

I am applying to Trinity College, predicted four D2's for Pre-U = four A* for A-level. Didn't take AS

Potentially - I'm revising it just to be safe

I know it's getting kinda late, but I can provide correct worked answers for all parts of the specimen paper 2, apart from answer 1d
Original post by Misuraf
I did about 40 I think, although got some wrong.


Did all of them, got 48 correct. Got 20 in the second part though.
