Ppe oxford 2020

OP

I don’t know how many mistakes I made- probably more wrong than right haha. A lot of people who I’ve spoken to said they found timings hard and ended up guessing 4/5 of the questions!

ALSO, does anyone know how significant the essay section to the TSA is? What question did you do? Thanks

Thanks for making the thread! It is so frustrating sifting through all of the applicant threads to find anything useful or reassuring. I haven't heard anything. I found the TSA bearable, it was never going to be easy aha :smile:

I am applying to Keble. I am taking Maths, Economics and History and then an EPQ on a political topic.

How many people from your school applied? And that’s a very good point, the TSA would never be “easy”!!

Applying for PPE at Exeter haven’t heard yet. Found the TSA much harder than some of the practice papers and had less of the maths questions which I found easier

I applied to Exeter for PPE too. They offered me AAA. I’m sure they will give you an offer soon.

I applied for PPE at St John's, I haven't heard anything yet. Got an offer from Durham 8 days ago, which is a relief. Good luck everyone!

I think there is a slight misunderstanding here. On an Oxford topic people assume you are talking about Exeter College, not Exeter University.

So your offer is from Exeter Uni, not from Oxford, I guess.
