Why, may I ask, are you interested?

Are you starting this year? As soon as you're in Oxford, you'll be able to download them all.

If you really want any in particular, send me a private message saying which and an email address, and I can send them to you. (I've only got the 'new style' prelims on my computer though.)

If you've yet to do interviews as I suspect, however, and think prelims might give you some hints about what to expect - they really won't. Or at least at my college, interviews were a lot more like tutorials than exams.
Incidentally, I seem to recall - but my memory often fails me, so I may be completely wrong - that you were intending to apply to my college (ie, Catz) ... yay, good choice. :smile:

I think you'd find the syllabus far more enlightening than the exam papers. Try the chemistry website and you should be able to find it.

Indeed, you should have a look at the undergraduate handbook (which contains the syllabus): http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/teaching/UndergradHandbook05.pdf


If you still want to see a few prelims though, PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you a few. :smile:
