Cambridge NatSci Admissions Test 2018

Oh dear Lord I’ve never felt so inadequate.

I didn’t realise the second paper was a calculator paper and was given a really crappy 50p one by school, which slowed me down.

I lost so many marks on being genuinely dumb. I just blanked.

I didn’t get break time today so I was sat on my own in a room (with an invigilator obvs) for two hours hungry, stressed and with a massive headache.

It was so much harder than the practice papers I did.

I’m sorry for the rant - I just need to get my feelings out so I can focus on thinking positively and put it behind me.

Anybody who sat it - good luck to you, fellow soldier. I wish you all the success in the world.

Hi! Any advice on applying for NatSci? I’m not sure how much reading or prep for the test I should be doing or what to expect from the interview. Thanks :)

So I don’t feel like I can give too many tips about prep for the test, as I’m pretty sure we’ve got a couple of NatSci helpful experts hanging around who might be able to give advice from experience. But in general, look through the spec and do the practice papers that are available, but don’t stress about it too much. For reading, there’s no need to do masses, as it’s best to discuss books on your PS rather than just name dropping, so limit the ones you mention to a couple, and maybe an article or two? Obviously if you read more than this, that’s excellent, but think through which you mention specifically. The interview will probably include problems to solve - there might be some maths, and then questions that start from your A Level knowledge and then go further. Sometimes they’ll ask A Level type questions but then might probe your understanding further, rather than just knowledge of content. It might be a good idea to watch this video, which demonstrates a Chemistry interview - obviously topics will vary depending on subject, but it should give you an idea.
