The PAT Exam. A medley paper of unstructured and challenging Maths and Physics Problems, some multiple choice but mainly longer, written answers required.
Oxford specifies that all material tested may not yet have been covered in school; students are responsible for studying extra topics independently. This is where our courses can really help.
For Physics, Engineering and Materials Science at Oxford.
Our FREE PAT Guidebook answers questions such as:
- What is the Oxford PAT Test (Physics Aptitude Test) exam taken?
- Which university courses Require Oxford PAT Physics (Physics Aptitude Test?
- What is the format of the Oxford PAT Physics exam (Physics Aptitude Test)?
- What is the Oxford PAT Test (Physics Aptitude Test) Syllabus?
- What are Physics interviews like at Oxford?
- What are the Oxford PAT Physics Test Grade Boundaries?
- Any other advice for sitting the Oxford PAT Physics (Physics Aptitude Test)?

Timeline of PAT Preparation Courses offered throughout the year
STEPMaths has created a series of courses covering every skill and topic needed for the Physics and Maths parts of the PAT exam.
What makes our PAT Courses special?
Other courses out there will claim to give you all the knowledge you need for the Physics Aptitude Test within two days. We don’t. Our PAT Summer Courses already dedicated 4-days to understanding all of the potential areas that you could be tested on within the Physics and Maths syllabus. (Need to catch up? Check out our Platinum PAT Online Bundle or Ultimate PAT Bundle, both of which also contain Full Past Paper Solution Videos to every single past PAT question plus much much more.)
In October, we focus on the one key skill that the PAT has been testing more and more heavily as time goes on: problem solving. Check out our PAT Problem Solving Course below for more details!

PAT live courses
In July, we hold a 3-day Physics Summer School aimed at students planning to take PAT. The course covers parts of the Physics Aptitude Test syllabus that you may need to revise from A-level and others that you are unlikely to have seen at school before you take the exam.
We also hold a 1-day Maths for PAT Course in July, in which we cover how to answer short questions from the Maths section of the PAT paper quickly and efficiently.
In October, we hold a 2-day PAT Problem Solving Course.
You may also want to check out our online PAT subcscription area, which houses a large number of video resources for PAT.
The presenter was very knowledgeable, explaining difficult content in a way that made it more understandable. The size of the group also allowed for group work, without limiting any 1-1 opportunities. The topics covered were especially useful if you’re applying for the PAT.
I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It consolidated my physics knowledge along with make me tackle different unknown questions. Difficult concepts about Kinematics and Dynamics were clearly explained. I learned new formulae for astrophysics that I had never before seen.
Having a booklet full of questions by topic is very helpful for revision.
