University of Cambridge ENGAA 2017

doing a secund time doesn't count.. I got 100 percent on both papers in timed conditions on second try.. unfamiliarity is key. all the best. the assessment is supposed to stress test the applicants. don't worry about it too much.. the median score for offer holders remains to be 6.0

Is this score of 6.0 based on section 1 only or a combination of both sections?

Section 1. With a spread of 1.6 to 9.0

I messed up section 2 but I’m feeling more confident about 1. How true is it that section 2 is irrelevant? I’ve read a couple of times how section 2 results aren’t considered during offer decisions.

Why would they ask you to sit something that they ignore...

This is Cambridge admissions, different people at different colleges seem have quite varied opinions about what is and isn't important - especially when they didn't set the test in question...

spent so long on section a that I had to guess quite a lot of section b 😭 annoying thing was that if I'd had time there were a few I definitely could've done. ah well it's up to cambridge to decide if they want to give me an interview now

I found paper 1 a bit easier than paper 2. I had to guess a bit of part B because I was slow on part A. I did finish the exam though.

one question. as I understand mature home applicants do not need to sit for the ENGAA while international mature applicants have to. how do mature colleges compare these two types of applicants, considering the ENGAA might be of a different difficulty from a mature college own test set for home mature applicants?

what do you mean you finished when you have to guess? did you read and tried to figure out the answer for all question or are you like me. the last 5 questions I didn't even get to read and randomly scribbled some answer

I think I managed to work out about 30 of the section 1 paper and then guessed the rest, but I went through the whole paper and found questions that I knew I could do first, so I did about 15 on part A and 15 on Part B.
I was the only one in my school to actually finish section 2, with some working for everything

Only if they aren't being interviewed in Cambridge.

yeah but how do mature colleges assess these two kinds of applicants
