Hi I did the test! I thought it was quite hard but okay, I found the first section was quite a difficult text to get my head around and the second section, I did the faith question and I don't think I did too badly, what about you? what college are applying to? what are you GCSE's/predicted grades? have you heard about interview? Sorry for all the questions I havn't found anyone applying for philthe till now!

same here I found it hard too as I am a foreign language student, I think I mess up question 1 since I was talking about how fluctuate the meaning of Paul's text. I guess my oxford dream has ended :frown:. A level predicted grade: A*A*A and I apply for pembroke , haven't heard anything from interview yet I guess they would inform us soon.

I wouldn't think like that! I'm sure they'll take into account that you may find it a bit more difficult as a foreign student. Your predicted grades are very good so I wouldn't feel disheartened !

I only found out like 8 days before the interview! And I had three different interviews, two philosophy focused and one theology focused. The philosophy ones focused on personal statement, animal rights, an excerpt about beauty and the problem of evil. The theology one was all about a passage from Genesis.

Hi Naomi,

I am coming up to Regent's Park college this week for an interview for P+T. I was wondering if you had any helpful tips or just any insight to the process at this college.

Thanks
