Scoring and results

Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing - Information for Test Takers - TSA Oxford

How is TSA Oxford scored?

Section 1 scores 1 mark per question.

Scores are calculated on the TSA scale to one decimal place (running approximately 0–100). The scale is an estimate of the candidate’s ability, which makes scoring comparable by factoring in the question and overall test difficulty, using the Rasch statistical technique.

Marking of this section is automated. Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing does not accept requests for re-marks.

Section 2 is reviewed by the admissions tutor(s) of the Oxford College the candidate has applied to.
