Because PAT is an open exam, students can choose to take the exam even if they have not applied for the above-mentioned majors in Oxford University. Excellent PAT scores help students to improve their academic competitiveness when applying for physics, physics and philosophy, engineering and materials departments at Oxford University or other British universities.
If you want to apply for physics, physics and philosophy, and engineering science in Oxford University, students majoring in materials science must submit PAT scores.
Examination date:
165438+20201October 4th
Examination time:
The PAT test lasts for 2 hours, and consists of two parts: mathematics and physics, with 50 points for each part, *** 100.
Part 1: physics mathematics * * * 10 small questions, 5 points for each small question (no multiple-choice questions);
Part II: Physics (Part B: Physics) *** 10 small questions, with 5 points for each small question (no multiple-choice questions).
Examination outline:
Basic mathematics:
It is assumed that you have basic mathematical knowledge, especially arithmetic, and geometry includes coordinate geometry and probability topics. Problems may require manipulating mathematical expressions in a physical environment.
Algebra:
Understand the properties of polynomials, including quadratic equations decomposed by formulas or factors.
Sketch, including using differentiation to find fixed points.
Transformation of variables.
Solve the inequality problem.
Basic trigonometry, including the relationship between sine, cosine and tangent (sum and difference formulas will be explained if necessary).
The properties of logarithm and exponent, and how to combine logarithms, such as log(a)+ log(b)= log(ab).
Master the knowledge of the sum formula of n (or infinite) arithmetic and geometric series.
For expressions that only use positive integer values of n, such as (a+bx)n, binomial expansion is used.
Calculus:
Differential and integral of polynomial, including fractional power and negative power.
Differentiate and find out the slope of the curve and the position of the maximum and minimum.
Integral is the inverse operation of differential and the discovery of the area under the curve.
Simplifying the integral through symmetric parameters includes using the properties of even function and odd function (where even function has f(x)= f(-x) and odd function has f(-x)=-f(x)).
