FAQs

Got some questions about the PAT Tutoring Programme? You might just find the answer here. If not, you can always reach out to us and we’ll be happy to help!

What's the difference between the PAT Tutoring Programme and the Oxbridge Premium Programme?

The PAT Tutoring Programme focuses entirely on preparation for the PAT exam. This entails one-to-one tuition, a place on the PAT course, PAT resources and more. This Programme is designed for students who are highly confident will all other areas of their application, such as the Personal Statement and interview.

Our Oxbridge Premium Programmes are more comprehensive Programmes of support which includes preparation for the Personal Statement and Interviews. You would get extra support such as mock interviews, Personal Statement redrafts and additional one-to-one tutoring hours.

How many students do you work with each year?

We work with a maximum of 500 students each year across all of our Programmes to ensure we can provide the best support suited for their particular needs. We also abide by a selective criteria to the students that we work with.

Our Programmes have a structured syllabus, however, we tweak elements of the syllabus so the student is able to gain the most out of our support.

How are my PAT tutoring sessions arranged?

You can book your tutoring sessions through your UniAdmissions Portal. The Portal is the central point of your Programme and will contain all of your PAT resources, seminar access and lots of useful information.

No other PAT tuition provider has a system close to the UniAdmissions Portal!

Do I have to sit the PAT if I am applying to Cambridge?

No, the PAT is an exam exclusive to Oxford. If you are applying for Natural Sciences at Cambridge, you will need to sit the NSAA. If you are applying to Engineering at Cambridge, you will need to sit the ENGAA.

Who are your PAT tutors?

Every PAT tutor at UniAdmissions is carefully vetted by our team. You will only ever be matched with experienced, highly knowledgeable tutors who are truly experts in the PAT exam.

If you are ever unhappy with your tutor (an unlikely occurrence), then your dedicated Programme Manager will arrange a better-suited tutor for you.

Why shouldn't I just book a PAT course instead of a Programme?

Due to the complexity of the PAT as a test, it cannot be prepared for adequately in a day or two. We’ve found, through years of research and preparing students for the PAT, that preparing over a longer period of time is a much more effective way of embedding the knowledge needed to perform on the day and ultimately score highly in the PAT.

I'm struggling in one area - Can I spend the whole session on it?

Absolutely, and we’d encourage you to do so.

Make sure you give your tutor enough notice (at least 5 days) for them to prepare the appropriate materials.
