Thank you for making these vidoes, they're great for practice and learning about the TSA They're the only place to get such practice and content This content will last forever and you can really make an impact with these videos
Hi Ved, I'm from India and a university here conducts it's entrance exam somewhat like TSA. Do you mind sharing your experience of this year's TSA? What questions should one be practing more?
@@madiha.tariq_ Okay. In terms on my experience this year - I had no time, and I scammed 20 questions and blindly ticked a lot of them. It was not good by any means, the paper was challenging. (Thankfully TSA has a different scoring system, buts that Oxbridge exams exclusive). I'm really bad at the Math Based questions, so practicing them would've really helped my trajectory further - time based practice is key 🔑 Completing all the sample papers in exam conditions is necessary Get the hang of the other types of questions, Critical thinking questions, and you should be set. Understand the types and learn about a few tricks - like drawing a conclusion always has should or would in the question (the should would sentence points towards the conclusion) Create notes, that's also pretty imp. Since I did all my TSA questions digitally, I create a Notion document with all my mistakes marked up and I looked back at them after a couple of days, initially they were so many that they served as a question paper themselves. Note making about the type of questions is important. Elaborate notes like how we create some in Indian schooling is not. What helped me the most was UA-cam based content from here and univassist. Both combined, I did not need any external help for the TSA (With the exception of my Academic [cbse] math tutor, who solved my math doubts and basic concept questions) All the best, fee free to get in touch with me on the server 😀
For Q6, instead of counting backwards, the shift parameter can be reversed, as in J to X instead of X to J, there are 14 shifts, so just count 14 from E to get S. :)
this video is so helpful! but i dont understand question 32 - why is d neccassarily wrong? i understand that the pie chart shows the same number of circle and square, but how do you know they have this number in equal proportions of flavour?
In this question, there are 7 total visitors (incl. Martha). So I've applied 1 family ticket of 5 (2 adults, 3 children) then added 1 child ticket (Martha going before her birthday) and 1 senior ticket (grandma). So I've considered Martha a child rather than an adult as that works out cheaper. Hope that makes sense :)
This video is amazing, thank you so so much! I only didn’t get how you got 20 out of 90% and 100% at minute 6:40 and overall this whole task haha I’m so lost
It’s cumulative %, so if 15% represents 270 cyclists then 100% ought to represent 1800 cyclists. We don’t care about this information since we only need to know how many cyclists are contained within the range of 80-100% ~ 20%. You can use any method you wish to calculate the number of cyclists that are represented by 20% given the information that 15% represents 270 cyclists. 5% x 4 is 360, 5% was chosen here since 270/3 is very easy to calculate. 90 x 4 = 360 🎉
Could you please explain me the following :) in Q 37) it says that they 90km on average. Why do you subtract the 30km bus traveling then? Also, I viewed the Q like this: Since the average 90 km are already walked, they will take the bus for the remaining 30km ( I know that this is incorrect, but could you explain me why?) Thank you so much!
Yes, the pie chart shows that the square and circle chocolates take up the same proportion of the 60 total chocolates. The triangle chocolates alone take up a smaller proportion! Similarly, the pie chart shows that half of the chocolates (30/60) should be milk. I hope that clears it up :)
hi could explain question 32 pls? as to why you eliminated option d? just because they didn't have the same proportion of circles and squares for each of the different chocolates as it is not stated anywhere in the question?
Hi! In D) there are equal numbers of all three shapes (20 of each). According to the pie chart, there should be the same number of circles and squares, and a smaller number of triangle chocolates. Hope that helps :)
So it shows us that 80% of the population is 40 or younger. [To give you another example from the table: 15% of the population is 10 years old or younger 50% of the population is 18 years old or younger This means 35% of the population is aged between 10 and 18.] That leaves 20% of the population as above 40 years of age which is what we are trying to find. To do this we are told that 15% of the population is 270 people. From this, we can find 5% which is 270/3 = 90 Therefore 20% is 270+90 = 360 cyclists. Hope that clears it up :)

Problem solving is my biggest enemy!!! 😭😭😭 It's 9 days away from the tsa and I'm still struggling with them in the past papers...
Same same 😭😭😭
More approaches will be uploaded soon! Any particular questions let us know 😊
@@diandram1884 same here😢
@@examrizz. Hii, I just did the TSA of 2011 and a little help on questions 30, 32,43 and 50 would help me a lot!💗
TSA here as well, T-2days. GOOD LUCK

Will you go through some more section 2s at any point?
At what point they will test you inatematics to bea TSO ?
Hi, in Q. 19 (9:27) shouldn't it be 3 adults, 3 children and 1 senior citizen instead of 2 adults, 3 children and 1 senior citizen?
In this question, there are 7 total visitors (incl. Martha).

You can try drawing a cumulative graph to visually understand :)
@@examrizz. Omg, this makes so much sense! Thanks again for responding so fast to all our questions

at 13:45 how do u know they have to be the same proportions for each? Great video btw.
because it doesnt say there have to be the same proportions for each shape in the question... right?
@@joaquinsegal2 you can tell from the pie chart
Yes, the pie chart shows that the square and circle chocolates take up the same proportion of the 60 total chocolates. The triangle chocolates alone take up a smaller proportion! Similarly, the pie chart shows that half of the chocolates (30/60) should be milk. I hope that clears it up :)
hi could explain question 32 pls? as to why you eliminated option d? just because they didn't have the same proportion of circles and squares for each of the different chocolates as it is not stated anywhere in the question?
Hi!
In D) there are equal numbers of all three shapes (20 of each).
According to the pie chart, there should be the same number of circles and squares, and a smaller number of triangle chocolates.
Hope that helps :)
can you explain 14 question better? I don't understand why there are 20 % and 90+270/////
So it shows us that 80% of the population is 40 or younger.
[To give you another example from the table:
15% of the population is 10 years old or younger
50% of the population is 18 years old or younger
This means 35% of the population is aged between 10 and 18.]
That leaves 20% of the population as above 40 years of age which is what we are trying to find.
To do this we are told that 15% of the population is 270 people.
From this, we can find 5% which is 270/3 = 90
Therefore 20% is 270+90 = 360 cyclists.
Hope that clears it up :)
