HSPS Written Assessments

Hello all. I'm currently deciding on a college to apply to for HSPS. Some colleges I'm considering require a written assessment, whilst most others don't. I believe that the course used to require a TSA for all colleges, but that no longer seems the case. Does anybody know what the written assessment entails, and whether the structures of which are college specific, or universal across the colleges which require them. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm applying for HSPS as well, although the college's I'm looking at don't require assessment. When I looked through it seemed to be mainly the Mature (21+) and Female-only colleges that required assessments. I assume that all colleges use similar/the same types of papers and there is a space on the Cambridge website: https://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/publications/human-social-and-political-sciences-admissions-assessment-papers <- here that shows specimen papers so these would be good to look at for practice.

Pretty sure these are *way* out of date. They haven't used that format for a few years.

See this page - go to the drop-down.

Then if you're applying to any of those colleges, go on their website and find their HSPS page. Normally the info is on there otherwise email them directly.
