Pre-University Preparation
Problem
solving and critical thinking. Often looked upon as collegiate and corporate
buzz phrases, these two soft skills are assumed by many to develop naturally with
time and life experience. However, truth be told, much of pre tertiary education
across the globe isn’t yet optimized to cultivate these facilities to their fullest
especially to the extent that is expected of young scholars at top universities.
The Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA) is a university admissions test administered
for entry to a wide range of courses that is designed to assess these very abilities.
Used by Oxford, Cambridge, and University College London three of the world’s
foremost academic institutions it serves as a common ground through which to
compare applicants from different backgrounds, while also ensuring that those
who progress further into the admissions process are fully equipped to tackle the
university level coursework they are soon to encounter.
As the Latin phrase goes,
cogito, ergo sum I think, therefore I am . Although the
prospect of besting yet another application requirement may appear daunting, rest
assured that being the thinking creatures that we are, anyone can hone the thinking
skills needed to overcome the challenges of the TSA. All you need now are curated
strategies and a practice regimen to match all of which we’ve rolled into a
comprehensive preparation program.
In ancient Greece, birthplace of Hippocrates and modern medicine, an educated person was well-versed in the trivium – rhetoric, grammar and logic – and the quadrivium – what can loosely be referred to as the predecessor of the modern sciences. These “seven liberal arts”, as they came to be known, formed the cornerstone of a modern university education.
The BMAT (BioMedical Admissions Test) may not trace its genealogy back to ancient Greece, but it certainly seeks to assess the same knowledge and skills that an educated Greek was expected to have. To do well in the BMAT, you need to possess these knowledge and skills.
In our BMAT course, you will learn how to effectively understand rhetoric and solve problems logically in the Thinking Skills section, how to use rhetoric and grammar to build a persuasive argument in the Writing Task section, and how to apply concepts in physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics to answer scientific questions in the Scientific Knowledge & Applications sections.
After all, the BMAT is your first step towards becoming educated in medicine – a field pioneered by the ancient Greeks.
With our proven track record in both test preparation and the UK university admissions process, we ensure that you receive the best support and guidance possible to maximize your chances of achieving the TSA score you need to set you apart in your desired course.
We focus not only on bestowing the know how required to master the TSA, but also on cultivating your ability to apply the practical skills the exam aims to assess. Our experienced instructors will help you dissect the TSA’s two main pillars critical thinking and problem solving while illuminating their future use cases for the puzzles and challenges life may send your way.
Our proprietary online platform allows students to continue practicing outside of class time with hundreds of authentic practice questions, helping them reinforce newly learned concepts. Personalized feedback reports accessible on the platform also help students focus their revision on topics that they need the most help with.
The TSA is one of the most widely used admissions assessments in the UK. You will need to take either Section 1 and 2 or only Section 1, depending on the course you are applying for. Look below to know which Sections you need to sit for:
