I’m going to teach you how to prepare for the Oxbridge Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA) entrance exam for Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE).
Specifically we’re talking about Paper 2 – the 30-minute essay question – because it really is its own beast.
I’ve taken hundreds of students through the Oxford and Cambridge exam process.
Students have gone from being unconfident in their essay writing skills to being able to craft and deploy nuanced and compelling arguments that have resulted in an invite to interview.
I’ve put timestamps to my different pieces of TSA tips and advice below the video.
