I applied for human sciences at Oxford, UCL and Exeter and then biology at bath and natural sciences at Durham. I picked the language questjon for tsa and I think the essay was fine but the section 1 was awful- guessed loads and ran out of time, gonna have to pray to get an interview 😭

I picked the languages one too and waffled far too much! I’m not really sure I wrote anything of much sense!

I found section 1 about the same as the other past papers I have done - although I have always found the past papers difficult. There are always a few questions I have to guess on due to time constraints - how about you?

Yeah I think the pressure just got to me so I ended up getting super confused. I hope my gcse grades and predicted will help me get an interview if the tsa was a mess
