Oxford, Philosophy and Theology 2020

Hey! I applied for LMH but I'm really not feeling confident at all. My GCSE and AS Grades aren't outstanding and I'm not sure how to prepare for the test.
Also, have no clue what written work to send in

Hi I'm applying to Keble. I sat the test yesterday and have mixed feelings about how I did. I just need to submit the written work and then hopefully get called for an interview.

I'm really not feeling positive about the test either. Most of what I wrote was complete waffle and I found the comprehension more difficult than the past papers I did

It was much harder than any of the recent past papers from a 3 year span. And they have reverted the test structure to the old cycle (they switch up the structure every 3 years)

In terms of work you should send in preferably your best essay/school work that's marked for any essay subject. I'm sending a 25marker that I got good marks for.

Okay, thanks. I think I'm going to send an essay on creationism I did but I'm pretty worried about it as it said on their website that they're looking for an ability to argue well but my teacher told us to never give our own opinion in essays so I don't have any essays that can show my ability to argue well...

What about any essays in class? Ones you scored highly on. I'm sending in a history one that's about 3 extracts that I got a level 5 for. It was out of 30 (got 26 marks)

Well my only other essay subject, apart from RE, which the creationism essay was for, is English, but my essays for that are no where near as good so I don't know really. I'm just hoping the written work is not the main determining factor

I'd say send that one in or ask around with your teachers. And tbh aslong as there is analytical and reasoning skills you'll be fine (plus creationism is relevant to the course)

It’s such a bad habit! What are your grades like if you don’t mind me asking - GCSEs and predicted? Not sure how mine compare!!
