The short answer is that you already have thinking skills, you just might not be used to using them to answer the sorts of question asked in the TSA. Watch the video on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.admissionstestingservice.org\/for-test-takers\/thinking-skills-assessment\/\">this page<\/a> <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to understand what the TSA is testing and why\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The TSA is designed to test two kinds of thinking: problem-solving and critical thinking. Problem-solving is the process of finding solutions to difficult or complex issues. Critical thinking is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgement. In the context of the TSA, problem-solving is basically non-verbal reasoning, and critical thinking is basically verbal reasoning. Both problem-solving and critical thinking are assessed by multiple-choice questions in the TSA S1 (the part of the TSA taken by all TSA entrants). The TSA S1 is a 90-minute test. The questions are presented in order of difficulty, with the different types of question interspersed throughout the test, so that you\u2019ll be exposed to a fair balance of the different styles of question if you don\u2019t finish the test in time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The TSA Oxford (the version of the test you\u2019ll need to take if you apply for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Economics and Management, Experimental Psychology, Geography, Human Sciences, Philosophy and Linguistics, Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE), Psychology and Linguistics or Psychology and Philosophy at the University of Oxford<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) includes an additional 30-minute writing task.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"#1\">How should I prepare for the TSA S1?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#2\">How should I prepare for the TSA writing task?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"1\">1. How should I prepare for the TSA S1?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Begin your preparation for the TSA S1 by consulting the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.admissionstestingservice.org\/images\/47832-tsa-test-specification.pdf\">TSA test specification<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It explains what the TSA is testing, and sets out the types of question you will be asked. Take the time to read through the example questions and answers in detail. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mathematical knowledge and skills needed for the problem-solving questions are listed on page 9 of the test specification; check you\u2019re happy with concepts such as percentages, and with extracting information from graphs and tables, especially if you\u2019re not doing Maths A level. You\u2019ll be asked three kinds of problem-solving question in the TSA 1: relevant selection, finding procedures, and identifying similarity. In a relevant selection question, you\u2019ll need to select the relevant information and use it to solve a problem. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">n a finding procedures question, you\u2019ll need to find a procedure which you can use to solve a problem. In an identifying similarity question, you\u2019ll be presented with a set of information and asked to identify if another set of data has a similar structure. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Page 10 of the test specification presents a method for understanding arguments based on reasons, conclusions, and assumptions. An argument is a good argument provided the conclusion follows from, or is supported by, the reasons. Sometimes a conclusion is introduced by words such as \u2018so\u2019 or \u2018therefore\u2019, but sometimes it is not. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A conclusion can appear at the beginning, middle, or end of an argument. Some arguments may omit a stage in the reasoning &#8211; an assumption must be made in order for the conclusion to follow. You\u2019ll need to be able to identify assumptions and reasoning errors in order to answer some of the critical thinking questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You\u2019ll be asked seven kinds of critical thinking question in the TSA 1: summarising the main conclusion, drawing a conclusion, identifying an assumption, assessing the impact of additional evidence, detecting reasoning errors, matching arguments, and applying principles. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working through the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.admissionstestingservice.org\/images\/296238-tsa-tsa-oxford-specimen-test.pdf\">specimen test<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, marking your work using the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.admissionstestingservice.org\/images\/296239-tsa-oxford-specimen-answer-sheet.pdf\">specimen answer sheet<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and understanding why you made the mistakes you made using the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.admissionstestingservice.org\/images\/296232-tsa-specimen-explained-answers.pdf\">specimen explained answers<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0is the best way to prepare for the TSA.

You\u2019ll come across the same sorts of question in each test, so over time you\u2019ll get the hang of what you need to do. Make sure you take the time to understand why you\u2019re making the mistakes you\u2019re making, so you can learn from them. It can be helpful to go through some past papers with someone else, because it\u2019s not always easy to understand why one answer is right and another isn\u2019t.

It\u2019s not a test of what you know, so you have to think on your feet. When I tutor the TSA, I ask my student to do a paper before each tutorial, and then we discuss the questions they found hardest in the tutorial. It\u2019s good to chat about the answers &#8211; that way, you can work out how to get through the paper at speed. For the essay, I think reading the headlines regularly is really important &#8211; you need to have a good understanding of what\u2019s going on in the world. The essay is not like other essays &#8211; you don\u2019t have much time at all, and it\u2019s not subject-specific &#8211; so it\u2019s a question of trial and error. It\u2019s great to see how much &#8211; and how quickly &#8211; students can improve!<\/em>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2\">2.

There will be a choice of essay questions, none of which will be subject-specific. You\u2019ll only have 30 minutes to write your essay &#8211; making planning all the more important. A concise and well-structured one-page answer may be more effective than a longer answer. It is essential to address the question directly &#8211; you don\u2019t have time to go off-topic. Remember, the quality of your writing is being assessed!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example questions include \u2018In order to be a successful leader, is it better to be loved or feared?\u2019 and \u2018Why is vision so important to human beings?\u2019. The questions don\u2019t have right or wrong answers.

The introduction is really important: clearly set out how you intend to answer the question. Hinting at your conclusion in the introduction will help you to stay focussed throughout the essay. Each paragraph in the main body of your essay should build on the paragraph before it. Begin each paragraph with a sentence that makes the point of the paragraph clear, and relates the subject of the paragraph back to the question. When presenting your argument, try to anticipate the counter-arguments, and set out why your conclusion is stronger than the alternatives.<\/em>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sophie A<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, one of our tutors who&#8217;s studying PPE at Balliol College, Oxford, suggests asking yourself a few questions before starting to write your TSA essay:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<em>First of all, think about what you\u2019d do if you had to answer Yes, No, or Maybe. This will help you structure your essay. If you answer Maybe, make sure that the main body of your essay doesn\u2019t come across as non-committal, and that you have good reasons for not being able to give a Yes or No answer. One such reason would be that the answer to the question is highly contextual<\/em>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tom R<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a MyTutor tutor who is doing an MPhil in Politics (Comparative Government) at St Anne\u2019s College, Oxford, shares his top tips for writing a great TSA essay: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<em>Choose the question that interests you the most, not the question that you find the easiest. You\u2019ll show off your academic potential best if you\u2019re writing about something you really care about. Answer the question. Don\u2019t go off on a tangent &#8211; you don\u2019t have time, and Oxford tutors hate waffle (trust me!). Take a side. Show you\u2019re aware that there are different points of view, but don\u2019t let your essay become too descriptive.
