for 1:11:33, here's how I simply did it wit just 3 equations. call bicycle: w, tricycle: x, tan: y and uni: z. We need to find just x. Then it follows logically these 4 equations: (1) w+x+z+y=7 (2) w+x+z+2y=10 (3) 2w+3x+z+2y=14 (4) w+x+2y=9 multiply (1) with -2: -2w-2x-2z-2y=-14 add now new (1) with (3): Most cancels out and left is: x-z=0 Multiply (2) with -1: -w-x-z-2y=-10 add now new (2) with (4): most cancels out and left is: -z=-1 z=1. Insert z=1 in x-z=0 x-1=0 x=1. =======
Just got a rejection before interview :( Thanks anyways for all the help! I probably failed the TSA but it certainly wasn't because of this workshop, it was excellent!
Sorry to hear that - I know how upsetting a rejection before interview is. I hope you were at least able to take some value away from the TSA, even if it was merely educational value. Your journey to uni doesn't end here so keep working hard!
@@youyouxue Thanks for your kindness! I definitely was able to take away some good things from the TSA, for one thing AP exams will feel like a piece of cake in comparison and also I feel like improved my ability to asses arguments! I don't regret going thru the application process it was well worth it.
Just took it and feeling pretty good about it! Only had to guess on 3 of the PS ones at the end, way better than my practices!! Hope to see you sometime later this month for interview practice!
Can you please do a quick section on the matching argument other than the one you have already done. I there is very little coverage on the matching argument questions which have weird structures.
to be fair the 90 minutes doesn't seem like enough, but I've found that practising critical thinking questions a lot helps? So if you practise doing 25 timed CT questions and try to do them as quickly as possible, you're giving yourself more time to do the problem solving questions which usually take longer. Aiming to finish 25 CT questions in 20 minutes-ish would give you a really good amount of time to attempt all the PS (but it usually takes me more like half an hour and I find I still have time to do most of the PS so don't worry too much: the quicker you do them the better, but you don't want to rush too much because you might make mistakes). Also, if a question seems like it's going to take ages, or you have to do a load of maths, just leave it and move on - all questions are worth the same amount of marks so you don't want to run out of time to do some of the easier questions by spending ages on one maths one.
Invitations are sent out last week of November. You have approximately 2-3 weeks to prepare, depending on your subject. However, there isn't much to "prepare" for - interviews are about how you think, and not necessarily what you know.
Thank you so much for taking the time to put these workshops together :)

(1) w+x+z+y=7
(2) w+x+z+2y=10
(3) 2w+3x+z+2y=14
(4) w+x+2y=9
multiply (1) with -2:
-2w-2x-2z-2y=-14
add now new (1) with (3):
Most cancels out and left is: x-z=0
Multiply (2) with -1:
-w-x-z-2y=-10
add now new (2) with (4):
most cancels out and left is: -z=-1
z=1.
Insert z=1 in x-z=0
x-1=0
x=1.

If I get into oxford e and m, im coming to give you a big fkn hug m8 , cheers and tysm!
Looking forward to it - PPE/E&M applicants will receive invitations to interview in the latter week of the last week of November.
Oh no I didn't see that this what happening! What a shame I would've come if I could! At least it's here!

@@schloop3828 how did you do?
Anyone know What kinds of questions count as spatial reasoning? (Is it just nets or all questions with shapes)
Can you please do a quick section on the matching argument other than the one you have already done. I there is very little coverage on the matching argument questions which have weird structures.
If it helps, it's discussed more in workshop I.
Will you upload the interview workshop you did?
I've been doing tests but only manage like 30 questions in section one in the time space. Idk what to do

Hi when did you get an interview offer after TSA? How many days/weeks did you have to get prepared for the interview after the offer?
Invitations are sent out last week of November. You have approximately 2-3 weeks to prepare, depending on your subject. However, there isn't much to "prepare" for - interviews are about how you think, and not necessarily what you know.
@@youyouxue Thank you!
