Most Oxford and Cambridge economics interviews include some maths: a percentage, an elasticity, a best price, a probability or a graph to sketch. The maths is rarely harder than first-year A-level. The hard part is doing it out loud, under pressure, while tutors watch how you get there.
This guide gives you one five-step method for any interview calculation: say it, set it up, solve, check, and say what it means. Eight short Parts then cover the topics that come up most: percentages, elasticity and revenue, the best price, growth and logs, probability, sketching functions, game theory and logic puzzles, and estimation.
Each Part has three practice questions with full worked answers and the follow-up a tutor is likely to ask. There are three stretch questions for Cambridge Economics candidates, a list of every question by difficulty, a 10-day practice plan and a formula sheet.
Written by a first-class Cambridge Economics graduate who sat the Cambridge Economics interview and now prepares applicants for it.
Included free in the Interview Pack and the Applicant Pass. For the whole interview, see the Guide to Oxbridge Economics Interviews.
