Oxford pat specimen

Okay so there’s a massive change in the Oxford pat this year. Considering it’s all mcqs and after practicing the previous year exams I gave the 2024 ‘specimen’ exam. And I found that it was too easy compared to the previous year exams. And now I’m scared that just because the exam will be easy a lot of the candidates will be able to score full marks resulting in more competition.

How many marks did you all score in the specimen exam?

If you mean the one on the webpage where you can access the calculator, it is supposed to be easier than the actual exam and not at all reflecting of the actual difficulty, so don't worry about it being too easy, more like too hard hahaha. It's there so we get familiarised with the online format and calculator
