    I got rejected.
    I was told by many many ppl that the TSA is so important that it can once be the single factor to determine the result of my application so I prepared so hard. But the test room was so noisy in my school and there was a language class going on next door I could hear it so clearly. I only got 60 in the tsa it turns out. I can’t accept that.. so I have decided to reapply for the 2024 entry.

    Approximately how many days does one need to prepare for an admissions test. HAT is on 21 October, so if I start preparing now, will it help?

    I'm Also doing the TSA S1 for E&M and I was wondering if you noticed any patterns in the questions that you could tell me about. Also, i am very interested to know how many marks you got on your TSA S1 so i know what to aim for. Thanks.

      Hey! There aren't many, or maybe even any, patterns that you can't find out yourself from going through the past papers. As for marks, I believe I got 69-70. You can certainly get in with lower, but the odds naturally improve as your score goes up.

      @@youngg5099 The score is different from the raw mark out of 50. It changes year on year to adjust for the difficulty, similar to how GCSE/A level grades aren't determined by the raw mark on the paper. I'd recommend reading the exam website for more information!

    What about the essay section?

    • @JoeMead
      @JoeMead  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's a great question! The essay section is much less important (and not tested anymore for applications to E&M), so I don't believe I actually did any preparation for it other than looking at previous papers to get a feel for the style of question asked.

      It's natural to feel disappointed and upset right now, but please know that you are still a talented and capable person.
      There are many other universities and opportunities out there for you to pursue, and I believe that you will find the right path for you. Go make it happen!
