My advice for anyone thinking of applying to Oxbridge humanities, after witnessing the process as a parent: ensure you have two very good pieces of teacher-marked written work, in your subject, dating from early in year 13, to submit with your application if you are asked to supply samples. 1/2

Is it normal to need to spend about an hour marking and giving (not particularly extensive) feedback on each piece of 2500-word coursework, or is it the sign of a feeble brain?

Excellent thread. I have been thinking similar thoughts about how the best justification for continuing to use our own brains in a world where AI can think and communicate for us is that our brains like to be used. It's what they are for. (if AI ever tries to do my Wordle for me I will unplug it)
