How our HAT tutoring works
The HAT tutors we represent can help your child refine their skills at analysing and interpreting historical source material, and develop their ability to select evidence and make judicious use of their historical imagination.
They can take your child through practice papers to familiarise them with the time pressure and challenging nature of these exams. They can provide detailed feedback on their practice essays, and focus on developing areas of strength and reinforcing those topics or skills which your child finds challenging and approaching History at higher level.
All tutoring is tailored to the individual needs of each child based on their strengths, weaknesses, learning style and the entrance procedures of the course they are applying to.
We can guide your child through every step of the competitive application process to study History at Oxford and introduce you to specialist tutors who can support with applications and preparation for the HAT and History interviews as well as broader application support and further reading recommendations.

Articles relevant to the History Aptitude Test
The Oxford History Admissions Test (HAT)
The History Admissions Test (HAT) 鈥� previously the History Aptitude Test 鈥� is a source-based test that all History students applying to study at Oxford University must sit. The test format might be unfamiliar to A-level or IB History students, being a test of skills, rather than substantive historical knowledge. It is therefore well worth familiarising yourself with parameters and format, as well as details of registering for the test as set out below.
History Super Curricular Activities
How do Super-curricular Activities help applicants to top Universities? Anybody can say that they have a passion for history and many people do. Most of us are interested in some aspect of the past, whether we are keen students of local history or the traditions associated with our favourite sport, or fascinated by a particular figure whom we have encountered in a book or historical drama on TV.
