Oxford’s PPE interviews ask you to reason about questions you have not seen, in three subjects, most of which you have probably never studied. Tutors say they care more about how you think than about what you already know.
This guide gives you a seven-step method for any unseen question, then one Part per subject. The philosophy Part teaches the standard tools from scratch: setting out an argument, drawing distinctions, and testing a claim against a counterexample. The politics Part shows how to define an idea, compare cases and judge an explanation. The economics Part covers reasoning, policy and simple numbers.
Each Part has eight practice questions with full worked answers and the follow-up a tutor is likely to ask. Two annotated mock interviews, a practice plan and advice for the day finish the guide.
Written by a first-class Cambridge Economics graduate who prepares applicants for Oxford and Cambridge.
Included free in the Interview Pack and the Applicant Pass. For every economics course, see the Guide to Oxbridge Economics Interviews.
