Hi
I'm looking into going to Cambridge after my A levels so after doing some research I found about about the TSA Cambridge Admissions Test, since the course I want to do requires me to sit this particular...
Has anyone here sat this test? Is it hard? Does it determine whether or not you get a place?

Anyone ???

You're fairly safe assuming if they're making you do it, it will play some part in their decision to admit (or not) you.

I had to do that. I had a look at their sample questions and did terribly on the online practice test (something like 56%). Then again, I didn't spend 90 full minutes on the practice one, but when I took the real test on the day of my interview, I did spend 90 minutes and I think I did pretty well on it. It also had a fun question about a modified version of noughts and crosses which is much more fun than the original.

It's piss easy tbh.

It's a bit like an IQ test. The worst thing about it for me was staying foccussed for 90 minutes of pure logical thinking...gave me a headache! And I don't think it plays a large role, not as important as the interview anyway.

Although some of the questions a bit tricky I didn't find it incredibly hard (although that said, you don't actually find out how well/badly you did). I found that having done AS Critical Thinking was quite useful as some of the questions were of a similar style. From what I hear though the Oxford TSA is much harder.

I found it fairly simple: I did the online one in about 30 minutes or so and got 78 % although I dont know if thats actually good or not.... enlighten me?
