Oxford Classics Aptitude Test (CAT) Glitch

Does the glitch have any effect on whether i'll get in??? (Context: test is online & stopped working for a solid half hour. I finished it after that after switching computers but I've heard that it happened to a few people, so does anyone know what's going on with that???)

I think it should be fine as long as your test centre applied for special consideration. I also had some issues with my test so I think Oxford will realise that and take it into account for most test takers. If I'm being honest, I really hope they just abandon the online system and go back to paper

Just a quick question- do you know if Section B had a fixed word order or not? I'm having a bit of a panic that I didn't pay attention to word order.

for MAT my whole paper wouldn't load so I didn't do it.

Okay, cool, they said they wwre applying for special consideration!! All good then

it was described as a "variable word order" so I don't think it matters too much! I did notice that it had a trend of subject object verb but it wasn't 100% consistent so I don't think it matters

Ah thanks so much! That's quite a relief

how did everyone find the questions

Oh yikes, is the whole of Oxford's system down?

yeah, got special submission

Was there a change for subject/object in section B??? Was discussing with friends and we all thought differently

yeah, object had a -rya added to the end. except for whatever the hell was going on with the word for bridge. i just chalked it up to either an exception or possibly a different rule for words that ended in a consonant that they didn't have time to expand upon/torture us with.

also, was i the only person that thought it was weird that we got a 3.1 and a 3.2 but no 3.3 for section b like usual?

YES the inconsistency in sub/obj change messed me up a bit
like it was different for bird, man and bridge??

i nearly completely missed the one with men/man hdjkjdhjkdj it's lucky i finished so early!! i can only assume it's like, differences with vowels and consonants? but we really didn't get enough of the language to know

yeah I found that weird. I felt like it kept repeating the same words over and over again
