Good luck tomorrow
Good luck to you ^^
Good luck
Good luck everyone! I hope we are all the lucky few.
Thank you James and good luck to everyone!
Thank you James. We all appreciate the time and effort you spend in making your videos that are so helpful and thorough 🙂. Good luck everyone!
Thankyou for making this. It's faster and more to the point and much easier to concentrate upon.
2022 paper. That was something...
fr 😭😭😭
Thanks a lot, good luck to all of you guys (and me =) for tomorrow.
Thank you James, guys good luck for tomorrow
Good luck to you too :)
Good luck everyone :) thanks for this video!
Good luckk
I was really looking forward to this. I was really struggling with some of the questions. Thanks a lot, James!
P.S. Good luck for tomorrow everyone!
Good luck!
good luck!
did u guys make it?
@@weeborghini4016 I did not sadly. Did you?
@@spaghettiking653 no I did not
came in clutch 😂
Good luck too all those taking the test today!!
Guys DW if you had a bad exam, it happens. Science is not a result to achieve but a long way to go. Speaking from personal experience, I had some terrible exams this summer and fortunately this exam was the right one for me. Don't question your intelligence or insult yourself. Embrace your failure and carry on.
Hi James, I would like to ask a question for those applicants who want to study Computer Science in Oxford, you mentioned that we should do questions 1,2,3,5 and 6 instead of 1,2,5,6,7. I would like to know are there any changes of the types or test points of Question 3 and 6 compared to the previous MAT papers and what about the question 7 which is a typical computer problem solving question, is it going to combine with question 6 or something? ps: Very handy videos for MAT preparation! Thank you so much for doing these livestreams!
Just wondering for Q5 V a), is it possible to just use what we know already, that a+b+c>2c and a+b+c=2s to show c
Seems good to me - in fact, I'm not very happy with my approach for that part of the question in the video, I think I might be making it too complicated. ^James
good luck everyone! lets hope for no floor/ceiling functions!!
Just did the 2022. Awful. Just awful
i agree
Was not very fond of the multiple choice section
BROOO
IT WQS SO BAD
@@ollie9175 Multiple choice was badddd
18:00 you wrote square root of 5 instead of 3 when for the function touching the graph (the solution is still the same, but it looks strange with sqrt(5) being smaller than 2 according to your graph).
Gd luck to everyone!
Let's go. 2022 should be a fun paper to do
How do you think it went...?
@@spaghettiking653 it was normal. Many people say it was hard but come on dude this was supposed to happen. I applied to Oxford Maths-CS. I got a little problem in 6.Vb and all the other problems were just like last years. Unfortunately İ didn't find multiple-choice questions well prepared. In the past years, there were beautiful problems including ideas but this year had 3 real number solution problems. Disgusting. 2 was cute but it was a well-known concept (Pell equations). 3 was a beautiful integration question compared to last years. 5 was a little bit hard at first sight but after solving step by step it was getting clearer and clearer. 6's first 4 questions were easy but I think I might have a problem on the 5th one. Anyways, how did you do?
@@electrovector7212 Well, so far as I'm concerned, this year may well have been my worst performance of any MAT paper I've done. Regrettably, it would seem I wasn't exactly ready as I thought I was; knowing about those Pell equations, it looks like you're rather more prepared than I was :'). I made a major mistake on the question asking to find the x,y values when z=1, as I noticed you should divide the z=4 case by 4 to derive it. Unfortunately, whilst I divided the x=340 by 2 (as the 1/4 becomes 1/2 when dragged inside the square), I foolishly divided the other number by 4, by which it was not divisible, and gave up because I had no integer answer. As for Q6 and Q7, I did dreadfully, and massively failed to understand them. Overall, a tragic performance for me this year. But much luck to you, I hope you get accepted :)
Hi James, I just had a questions regarding how admissions work, because after looking at the admission statistics for previous years, there are students who get scores in the range of 30-50 percent who get shortlisted, while there are people with 80% who don’t get shortlisted. What part of the students application usually causes this?
Fair question. In a word; context. There are students where a score of 75 is not that impressive given what we know about their educational context (perhaps they've been at university for a year), and there are students who have faced adversity for whom 50 is an impressive result. There are also a handful of students for whom something went wrong on the day of the test - there's a special considerations process, but their score still shows up in the stats. In recent years, we've also got a handful of people with no MAT score at all due to reasons outside their control. All of that is why I'm glad we don't have a hard pass/fail mark on the MAT. ^James
We're in the endgame now.
Good luck, fellow soldier.
1:49:53 I'm confused by the phrasing of this question.
It sounds to me like it's asking you to
show that _(a,b,c)_ is a triangular triple *AND* _a+b+c = P_ (if and only if _a,b,c, < 0_ )
(I realise now that that would obviously be impossible but I was acting under the assumption that it was true)
However you and the markscheme treat it as meaning
"show that _(a,b,c)_ is a triangular triple, *GIVEN THAT* _a+b+c = P_ , (if and only if _a,b,c < 0_ )"
Why is this? Is this standard mathematical language or is it ambiguous question writing? Either way I imagine many people got stuck unable to prove it due to this misunderstanding
Hi James, thanks for the live stream!
I've got a nice way to solve Q2 (v)
3^17 = 9^8.5
4^13 = 2^26 = 8^8.66666...
form here its pretty obvious that 3^17 is larger, is this working acceptable ?
I'm not super happy with the claim "its pretty obvious" - although I sort of agree, I'm not convinced that this is a proof! ^James
James, when will the question paper for 2022 be released on the Oxford mat website? And will the solutions be on there from the get-go? I'm very anxious so I can't wait to go thru the questions again
Mate I don’t even want to think about it, it went terribly 😭😭
@@timthegoat8980 literally 😭😭
I think I f*cked up too, the MC were soo hard compared to the past years…
Up now at www.maths.ox.ac.uk/r/mat and there's a ten-minute quick video on the solutions ^James
@@OxfordMathematicsPlus Thank you, I saw the video immediately. When is mu_1 (the first average) coming out btw?
good luck guys.
gl to you too
good luck for tomorrow everyone
Good luck :))
when will u post the MAT 2022 short solution under 10 mins tomorrow?
Hopefully before 9am :')
Thursday - not allowed to discuss the questions online until 24 hours after the test starts. If I make the video in time. ^James
Hi James, I am now in Hong Kong and I am fully ready for the test tomorrow after finishing all the past papers. Nevertheless, I afraid the test centre will cancel the test due to the extreme weather condition. Is there any alternatives that I can probably take if it is cancel?😢
We're aware - stay careful out there! There isn't time for us to make new arrangements, so if you're unable to take the test then we will have to decide whether to shortlist you based on the rest of your application. Same goes for people whose test centre is suddenly affected by COVID lockdown, I'm afraid :( ^James
@@OxfordMathematicsPlus thank you very much James!
Hey may I ask how did it go?
Is this for ma/ MSc mat paper?
This is for our undergraduate degrees. For information on graduate admissions, please see www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate ^James
good luck everyone!
Rn I need luck after that paper
@@duckface8425 wallahi i’m finished
@@duckface8425 no literally 😭😭😭😭😭
im gonna cry
same
YOU WILL DO GREAT DW btw Im still up at 11 lmao
Sir I scored about 60% in my 11th class and I'm in 12th currently. i have a really good extracurricular and I've done a lot of researches going to colleges and universities. Am just scared about my 11th grade marks, what should I do about it? Will i be rejected on the basis of 11th grade marks?
We accept Year XII qualifications with CBSE or CISCE boards. Please see www.ox.ac.uk/intquals for standard conditional offers based on international qualifications. ^James
It’s today 😭
Really now?
Better than never! (for people reading this in the future, I think this person is surprised that I posted this video just one day before MAT 2022. Good luck everyone!) ^James
He has already done a livestream going through this paper, and has been supporting our MAT preparation since early August. On top of that, these videos take a very long time to make!
