Hello, my name is Alan Barr, and I am the Admissions Coordinator for Physics. I'd like to give you a few tips about preparing for the Physics Admissions Test, or the PAT. The main thing that I want to say is that there's nearly 20 years worth of past papers for this test available from our website. So you can download those, do them in your own time. There's solutions for some of them that you can check as well. And those past papers will give you a really good idea as to the level of difficulty of the PAT and how you can try and get the questions done in the limited time available. This year, the format of the test will be a little bit different. It's going to be an online test with both the questions and the answers, presented on a screen. You'll be able to work at it by yourself in your own time, and then you'll choose the correct answer or answers from the options available on the screen. You won't be able to bring your own physical calculator into the PAT. The calculator that you'll use will be the one that's provided as part of the screen on the system. We're going to provide a sample test such that you can get used to the environment, answering the questions on the screen, and also familiarise yourself with the online calculator. A few tips for the PAT itself: The first is that you might want to read through the test from the beginning and check every question before you get started. That way you can see which questions you think are easiest, which ones are hardest, and you might be able to start with the ones the questions that are easiest to you first. The PAT is a difficult test. Quite often the average mark is about 50% on this test. So if you're getting 60 or 70%, then even though you might feel like you're missing a lot of questions, you could still be doing really well. As a result of that, you need to think about what you do if you come up against a hard question. So if a question is difficult or it's costing you a lot of time, don't spend a lot of time on it. Move on to the next question and pick up the marks that are easier for you. Finally, if you're entitled to access arrangements such as extra time, make sure that you register that at the time that you're registering for the test. That way, we'll make sure that you have the right access arrangements for you. And finally, on the day of the test itself, the very best of luck.
