Oxford Mathematics Admissions test

Not sure if this is the right place to post it, but it seems like a logical place for the thread.

Basically I have been intending to work towards the Oxford Admissions test, but a nasty case of Swine Flu has pretty much prevented me from doing anything. I know there are some past tests up, but I have done them all and definitely need more revision.

I have done some AEA and STEP I papers as practice, but I think the styles are very different to the Oxford test. Are there any other papers you would recommend for preperation. The standard A level past papers and Solomon/Delphi/Elmswood Press papers are far too easy, and S-Level papers are usually on C3/C4 material.

Thanks, MBedford.

You could try some further maths papers.

mbedford:
I'm taking further maths, but the questions are pretty much on a completely different syllabus to the Oxford test.

astarmathsandphysics:
If the questions are based on c1-c4 modules then anything you do in fuerther maths is harder than that. Suggest you do as much maths as possible. I dont think the oxford tests are hard frankly.

mbedford:
They aren't too hard, but I have been told by more than one Oxford admissions tutor that 80% plus is usually needed to be considered seriously as an applicant.
