Nat Sci (physical)

Does anyone have any advice they could give to me as I’m thinking of applying to Cambridge for Natural Sciences. Any advice regarding the ESAT and applying for different courses at different unis would be very appreciated. I’m currently torn between straight physics,chemistry or natsci

Thanks !

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking but it's definitely okay to apply for Natural Sciences at Cambridge and single sciences elsewhere. They completely understand that other universities may not have the same sorts of course options. There's also the additional personal statement for if you want to write about NatSci at Cambridge specifically whilst keeping your main personal statement for your single science.

I am studying natural sciences at Cambridge and applied single sciences elsewhere. Regarding ESAT, I took the NSAA but I think they are similar, just do loads of past papers and do practice questions on specific topicsyou struggle on. Also, timing is really important.
