2025 pat

How did everyone find the Oxford PAT. I thought it was pretty good, just the time constraints were quite tight. But I hope everyone else found it good.

Being honest I really hated it :frown: spent far too long on the 2 markers and had no time for the weird questions at the end - but I'm glad my experience wasn't universal :P not too miffed anyway and got a greggs after which was great

For me it was harder but that's just bc I'm not super quick w mental maths and ran out of time

I'm sitting it tomorrow, were the questions easier than the 2017-2023 past papers but with more time pressure?

The Greggs is the most important part.
Sounds like a generic PAT - hard.

Doing mine tomorrow, anyone got any top tips that'll help?

I found it much harder than most if not all of the past papers, although I wasn't practicing as rigorously as I should have (I didn't consider that taking breaks would be so much harder than in the exams of my home country)... Hopefully the curve will save me haha

I found it really easy. Finished with 30 mins to spare. Had enough time to think about lunch. :smile:
