What is the University Preparation Report?
The University Preparation Report is a free report you’ll receive after completing a short questionnaire. It contains personalised guidance to help you prepare for your university applications.

These include book recommendations to help you read around your subject, data and statistics to see how you compare to other applicants, and tailored advice and tips on crafting a standout application.

Who is the University Preparation Report for?
Our University Preparation Report is for any student aged 15-18 who is considering applying to a competitive university. It’s designed to help young people prepare effectively for university applications.
How does it work?
The report is generated from a short questionnaire which takes approximately five minutes to complete. You’ll be asked 20 questions about you, your interests and your academic ambitions.
What are the core metrics?
Your answers will be compared against the seven key metrics of university success:

i) Confidence: How confident are you in your skills?
ii) Courses: Have you taken any relevant courses?
iii) Experience: How much work experience do you have?
iv) News: Do you keep on top of current affairs?
v) Practice: Do you talk about your subject to others?
vi) Reading: How much reading have you done outside of school?
vii) Support: Do you have supportive role models?

Which subjects are included?
The report is currently available for the following subjects: business, economics, engineering, international relations, politics, law, medicine, psychology and neuroscience.
How do I get my results?
Once you’ve completed the short questionnaire, your answers will be analysed and a personalised report will be automatically generated, tailored to your unique responses.
Why is the report free?
At Oxford Scholastica, our mission is to help students seize the future. We want all young people to fulfil their potential and one of the ways we do this is by providing free resources.

We also run an Oxford summer school, as well as online courses and virtual internships. If you’d like to sign up for one of these programmes, we’d be very pleased to welcome you. However, these are optional and the University Preparation Report is free of charge.
