About the Authors

Jon studied Economics and Management at St Hugh’s College, Oxford, between 2013 and 2016. He sat the Thinking Skills Assessment and scored full marks in section 1 of the paper, placing him in the top 0.1% of candidates who sat the assessment that year.

Jon has worked with UniAdmissions since 2014, working primarily as a personal tutor for a number of applicants across the entire application process. He has also provided Thinking Skills Assessment preparation courses within schools, and remains very familiar with all aspects of the paper.

Although Jon has moved into finance since graduation, he remains involved with tutoring as much as time allows. He regularly visits Oxford in his free time, and hopes to return for further study at some point in the future.

Over the last five years, he has tutored hundreds of successful Oxbridge and Medical applicants. He has also authored ten books on admissions tests and interviews.

Rohan has taught physiology to undergraduates and interviewed medical school applicants for Cambridge. He has published research on bone physiology and writes education articles for the Independent and Huffington Post. In his spare time, Rohan enjoys playing the piano and table tennis.

How to use this Book

Congratulations on taking the first step to your TSA preparation! First used in 2008, the TSA is a difficult exam and you’ll need to prepare thoroughly in order to make sure you get that dream university place.

The Ultimate TSA Collection is the most comprehensive TSA book available – it’s the culmination of five top-selling TSA books:

➢ The Ultimate TSA Guide

➢ TSA Past Paper Solutions: Volume 1

➢ TSA Past Paper Solutions: Volume 2

➢ TSA Practice Papers: Volume 1

➢ TSA Practice Papers: Volume 2

Whilst it might be tempting to dive straight in with mock papers, this is not a sound strategy. Instead, you should approach the TSA in the three steps shown below. Firstly, start off by understanding the structure, syllabus and theory behind the test. Once you’re satisfied with this, move onto doing the 300 practice questions found in The Ultimate TSA Guide (not timed!). Then, once you feel ready for a challenge, do each past paper under timed conditions. Start with the 2008 paper and work chronologically; check your solutions against the model answers given in TSA Past Paper Worked Solutions. Finally, once you’ve exhausted these, go through the 6 TSA Mock Papers found in TSA Practice Papers – these are a final boost to your preparation.

As you’ve probably realised by now, there are well over 1,000 questions to tackle meaning that this isn’t a test that you can prepare for in a single week. From our experience, the best students will prepare anywhere between four to eight weeks (although there are some notable exceptions!).

Remember that the route to a high score is your approach and practice. Don’t fall into the trap that “you can’t prepare for the TSA”– this could not be further from the truth. With knowledge of the test, some useful time-saving techniques and plenty of practice you can dramatically boost your score.

Work hard, never give up and do yourself justice. Good luck!
