ENGAA Revision/Tutoring

[booboobdoo]

Hello.
May I ask what resources DS can use to prepare for the ENGAA for Cambridge please? Are there revsion papers, tutors etc.
Thanks

There are a lot of materials on the Cambridge website. E.g
https://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac. ... ent-papers

My daughter did this process last year for a different subject, got an offer and is heading off next month so know the process has a few extra hoops but really can be worth it if the course is a good fit. No tutoring I might add but did have some practice interviews at school, she is heading back into school to help out before she heads off.

Thank you for that. Congratulations to your DD. Hope she loves it.

DS sat NSAA last year for physics. He did all ENGAA practice tests as well as it is the same content more or less. So you could check the NSAA papers (just maths and physics parts) to get extra questions, but be aware that there is a lot of overlap between the two exams so you have to look very carefully at the questions. I do not know the exact overlap as DS was doing it other way around (e.g. ENGAA section 1 has extra questions that are not on NSAA).

DS also did all BMATS, just maths and physics parts as it is also quite similar. Similarly with Oxford's PAT, although very different format extra maths and physics practice is always useful.

Finally, the series called "the ultimate" ENGAA, NSAA guides by uniadmissions are okay for extra practice. DS did those first as the quality of the questions is not always great but good enough for practice.

The Cambridge tests are all about speed and technique so practice does help. I suggest you print out the ENGAA syllabus and double check DS knows/revises all topics. DS found he needed to go through some GCSE knowledge plus some topics he hadn't done much of such as permutations and combinations.

Best of luck
