Oxbridge course: notes & web tutorials

• This course is for interviews at Cambridge and Oxford in December 2023.
• Why to prepare for Cambridge? Candidates who do well at the interview will receive their conditional Cambridge offers with grades in STEP II and III.
• Cambridge candidates who really impressed interviewers can expect an easier offer with grades lower than a grade 1 (or even highest grade S) in both STEP II and III.
• How long? 8 weekly topics, you may flexibly start at any time.
• Each topic covers 16 problems with general hints (Problems 1.1-1.16 on Topic 1) and also 1 long problem with general and step-by-step hints, e.g. Problem 1.16 on Topic 1.
• All topics are designed from easiest to hardest according to the past experience. However you may always choose to study the topics in your own preferred order.
• Notes (about 11-18 pages on each topic) form a large book of 115 pages, e.g. topic 1 on pages 1-10, solution to homework 1 on p. 11, topic 2 from p. 12 etc.
• 16 questions from most recent Oxbridge interviews are implemented in the interactive 4 web tutorials with gradual hints and random parameters.
• Every web tutorial is split into 4 on-line quizzes that you can try many times, you get step-by-step solutions and reviews of tips and common mistakes.

Marking homework and mock problems

• Homework: one long problem on each topic with our general hints and step-by-step hints given in the notes: the first homework is Problem 1.16.
• In the extended version, you may submit any 2 extra problems per topic. All solutions follow step-by-step hints, review common mistakes and useful tips.
• No deadlines: submit homework when you are ready, any late homework is marked.
• Problems in the notes are from past Oxbridge interviews. Moreover, the past students shared their first-hand experience and useful tips that we are happy to pass on to you.
• The past students with Oxbridge offers, got 80-95% on average for all homework. Even top students sometimes got only 60% in one homework for unjustified steps. The highest average score in the Oxbridge course across all years is 94%.
• You get next notes together with feedback on your previous homework, hence you choose your own pace of work and may complete the course in 4 weeks.
• Before actual interviews Oxbridge candidates often take a written paper at both Cambridge and Oxford. Hence you will benefit from a mock of 8 problems in week 8.
