How can Keystone Tutors help you prepare for the PAT?
The PAT is a demanding test, requiring breadth and depth of knowledge across Mathematics and Physics. It also covers some topics which applicants may not have been taught in school. The tutors we represent can help students cover such topics in detail, checking against the full syllabus covered by the test, and supporting them in independent learning. They can provide detailed feedback and support as your child works through past papers under time pressure. They can help students become more confident at thinking laterally across the range of topics and techniques they have learned, in order to solve the most difficult questions.
