Frequently Asked Questions

Many humanities courses at Oxford and Cambridge require written work—typically for English, History, Philosophy, Classics, and related subjects. We help you understand specific requirements for your courses.

Usually, you should submit an essay you wrote for school that best demonstrates your thinking in your subject area. We help you evaluate options and choose the piece that shows you at your best.

Light revision for clarity is acceptable, but the work should remain genuinely yours. Major rewrites are discouraged. We help you understand appropriate levels of refinement.

These vary by subject but typically involve analyzing an unseen text or responding to a prompt under timed conditions. We provide practice with similar exercises and feedback on your responses.
