Hi there,

Not an applicant myself, but are you going to Oxford tomorrow for the open day? Sounds like it's going to be a great experience.

I have looked at the sample questions, but as you wont be credited for knowledge outside of the text I agree there isn’t much else you can do.

Taking a gap year, so applying with my actual grades

College: Keble
GCSEs: 3 9s, 9 A*s (mix of old and new systems, so equivalent of 12 A*s)
AS Levels: 4 As in Biology, Chemistry, Geography, and Maths
A Levels: 3 A*s in Biology, Chemistry, and Geography

Are people sure the GAT won't be used in our application this year? Where/how did you find that out?
