What's included in UniAdmissions' PAT Tutoring?

Our PAT support not only gives you unlimited access to in-depth 1-1 tuition sessions but also gets you access to a complete collection of PAT materials including books, online courses, and an intensive PAT course. Plus, you will have access to exclusive benefits only available to UniAdmissions students. You won’t find a course with as much support as we offer. 

What we do works.

Our PAT Tutoring supports you throughout your whole exam preparation with content specifically created to boost your chances of success in your Oxford application.

Tap on the cards to see more details about our support components.

Firstly we will help you make the right decision regarding course and University choice.

Whether this is through a meeting with our Academic Director or by arranging sessions with tutors from Oxford and/or Cambridge in your considered subject areas. We will help you come to an informed conclusion on one of the most important decisions you will ever make.

You will receive a full introduction to your Programme by your Programme Team, along with your tutor and our Academic Director. Throughout your time with us, they will be here to help.

You will have unlimited one-to-one tuition sessions with an experienced PAT tutor who will thoroughly explain every topic in the exam.

Each session is tailored to meet your specific needs, allowing you to utilise the tutor’s knowledge of the PAT to aid in your preparation.

Unlimited one-to-one support with your expert PAT tutor – all with homework and reports.

UniAdmissions has published a substantial library of over 100 books related to the university application process, including those pertaining to the PAT. You will have access to plenty of revision and practice material when you enrol.

You will also have full access to the UniAdmissions Academy, our exclusive PAT practice resources and the UniAdmissions STEM Reading Lists, all available to you instantly when you enrol.

Finely-tuned PAT resources in a range of mediums to help you practice and learn for your exam.

This one-day, hands-on training session for the PAT will cover all aspects of the test, starting from the fundamentals and moving on to more advanced topics. Led by a seasoned expert on the exam, the course will provide an in-depth examination of how to tackle each section of the PAT and methods for achieving a score in the top 10% of test-takers.

Additionally, you will have the chance to ask any questions you may have about the PAT and receive valuable advice from a tutor who previously succeeded in the exam.

You’ll get an exclusive place on our renowned PAT preparation course, reserved for UniAdmissions students.

Demonstrating a deep passion for your selected field through extracurricular activities is important for those applying to Oxford University. To help you meet this requirement, our Enrichment Seminars have been designed specifically for this purpose.

Starting from the first week of the program, you will have the opportunity to participate in enrichment seminars where you will acquire knowledge in a variety of STEM subjects that go beyond what is taught in class, giving you an advantage in your application.

Develop a deeper understanding of your subject and go beyond your curriculum, as you would at Oxford.

Every student will receive supplementary assistance from their designated mentor – a senior tutor. Your Mentor will be there to support you with complex areas of your application and will assist you in any areas of difficulty throughout their programme. This could be (but is not limited to) support navigating the UCAS system, identifying and securing relevant work experience, and guidance on letters of reference.

You’ll be assigned an academic mentor for guidance and mentoring sessions.

The UniAdmissions Portal is your link between all of the support and resources offered in your Programme and you. You’ll find everything included in your Programme available in your personalised Portal account.

As a student this is your Programme Hub. With monthly updates, you’ll stay in the loop and never miss a step in your preparation. Stay informed about tasks, important dates and your progress, and be confident that you’re always on the right path!

You’ll get access upon enrolment to a Programme.

A personalised online platform which will guide you through your Programme as a student, or help you track your child’s progress as a parent.

UniAdmissions' Formula For Oxbridge Success

Our Programmes are a curriculum of support that is crafted to help you achieve your goal of getting an Oxbridge offer from the moment you enrol. Through years of experience, we have helped hundreds of successful applicants to Oxbridge.

Comprehensive support.

You must excel in all areas of your application, not just the interview or admissions test. Our Full-Blue Programmes cover all bases in detail.

Tried & Tested curriculum.

We have developed a unique curriculum over the last decade which ensures your time is spent wisely on the aspects that truly make a difference.

Unrivalled resources

We have written and published 10x more books than the rest of the industry combined and have developed our own Portal through a decade of experience.

How do I get started with my tuition?

To get started on your journey with UniAdmissions, you’ll need to arrange to speak with an Admissions Consultant who will assess your application and how viable you are as a candidate.

We are a private selective Oxbridge preparation school.

Our mission at UniAdmissions is to get every single one of the students we work with each year onto their chosen course at Oxford or Cambridge. Every student applying to study on our Programme goes through an initial assessment with our Admissions team. This is a 30-minute consultation (free of charge) where our team assesses your viability. Based on this, you may be offered a place if there are spaces remaining in the cohort. We accept students onto our exclusive Programmes based upon the following:

ACADEMIC PROFILE

Whether you have the right academic profile to be realistically considered by the Oxford admissions tutors.

WIDER PROFILE

Whether you have begun to demonstrate the kind of interest that is looked upon favourably by admissions tutors.

ATTITUDE

Whether you are approaching your application and admission to Oxford with the right mindset.

TIME COMMITMENT

Applying to Oxford takes a significant commitment – if a student cannot commit the time, we cannot work with them.

FAQs

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

Unlimited ELAT tutoring is available exclusively in our preparation programmes, including the Full-Blue Engineering Programme and Physics Programme. This programme features full support for every part of your Oxford application, including your Personal Statement and interviews. 

You can access this support by enrolling on a programme. Book a free consultation with our admissions team here. 

At UniAdmissions, we’ve guided hundreds of students to Oxford and Cambridge for more than a decade, achieving success rates over three times the national average. To maintain this, we implement the Scholar Limit, restricting programme admissions to ensure every student receives the high-quality teaching and support they deserve. While we support more applicants each year, the Scholar Limit ensures we uphold our standards and maximize students’ chances of success. If capacity is full, you can enrol early for the next cohort, securing your spot at the current fee and gaining immediate access to the UniAdmissions Portal and its resources. Alternatively, you can join our waitlist or apply for the Full-Blue Programme, which allows you to start anytime with added benefits.

Yes, we do! Each of our students can book as many one-to-one tutoring sessions as they wish for the duration of their UniAdmissions programme. These sessions can be used to cover any areas that you’re struggling with from the PAT. 

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
