HAT
The Colleges of Oxford University have introduced a History Aptitude Test (HAT) for use in the selection of candidates for all degree courses involving History. This test, which aims to examine the skills and potentialities required for the study of History at university, gives us an objective basis for comparing candidates from different backgrounds, including mature applicants and those from different countries.
OTC offers a one-day preparation course on the following dates:
Saturday 28th August
Saturday 25th September
Course fee: £185
The course will give you practice in HAT past papers, looking at questions and discussing the best answers. You will learn the scores you might achieve in the HAT test and how to improve them. Advice will also be given for further practice and suggestions made for relevant revision topics.
About the Tutor
The course will be led by Andrew Boxer who is currently working on a doctorate at Pembroke College, Oxford. He has extensive teaching experience, not only in preparing Sixth Form candidates for Oxford and Cambridge entrance, but also at A-level and at undergraduate level at Oxford University. He has written a number of books widely used in schools and published several articles in sixth-form history journals. He is also a principal examiner for OCR A-level history. He will be assisted by two university research students, both of whom are recent graduates of Oxford University.
