how to prepare for oxford's philosophy and theology admissions test PhilAT

Hi
Does anyone have any advice on how to prepare for the philosophy aptitude test because i have no idea how to approach it.

not sure how to approach the questions though and how can i mark it/improve?!

I’m going to Oxford in October for philosophy and theology and I also found this quite intimidating when I applied! I went through some of the past papers with one of my philosophy teachers, but in my own time, I also used ChatGPT to mark them - I would feed ChatGPT the questions and ask how it would answer them! I didn’t do an essay and did logic instead, and I don’t think this would be beneficial for the essay in section B, but I found it worked for me with the reading comprehension and logic questions! ( I scored 68 btw, and average overall of all applicants was 63.5, with 66.7 average for offer holders). If it would be beneficial I don’t mind looking over any that you may have done ( if none of your teachers are willing/able to)?

Guys how did we find the PhilAT today

Would you be willing to DM me and maybe look over a test of mine I did? I am also struggling because I feel I am not really improving.

Hi! I know I’m not OP but I’m in a similar position and I was wondering if you’d be able to have a look at some of my past papers? I’d greatly appreciate it
