I think you can try and get on a summer school UNiQ
Or go to a sample lecture 

Hi Anita

First of all good luck with your application.
For Cambridge, make sure you practice the admissions test. It is really essential to get a high score so you stand out.
The Oxford bookshelf scheme has free books for all subjects you can request, so  have a read of one of those.
Make sure you're up to date with what's happening in the law sphere and you have a solid understanding of what you've written on your personal statement.
Do get in touch with ex students from your school who have got into Oxbridge to get strategies. 
Try and organise a practice interview with  your school. Make sure you're able to articulate well and really demonstrate your passion.
Volunteering, clubs, and extra curricular counts just as much as the grades, to coke across as a rounded student.



Awesome, good luck! I didn’t apply to Cambridge, but I did apply to Oxford for Law and received an offer (decided not to go, but I got in)! I know Cambridge has a separate test to the LNAT, so I’m assuming they value the test score probably more than other unis which just use the LNAT, as it’s their own test. Not certain, but that makes sense. So for that, just do as many practice papers as you can! Law entrance tests are super difficult to revise for, practice papers really are your best friend. Reading a lot is also useful, just to ensure you have a better chance of knowing all the words that come up. For your personal statement, I think it’s super important to show your passion and interest in the subject. Illustrate how you pursue different interests within the subject, for example if you watch a virtual lecture about a topic, you may find one concept super interesting, then go read a paper about that topic, then learn something from that and pursue that in a different way. Kind of showing your love for learning, subject specific to law. It shows a lot of initiative and passion if you learn about law yourself, LSE has lots of good free online lectures about law/politics/economics (you can link them all), so do many other unis and organisations. Listen to podcasts, watch TED talks, read articles, books, etc, whatever you can, and write what you learnt and how you followed that up. If you have a specific interest in one or two areas of law that can help, but also you don’t want to box yourself in too much. For me, I am mostly interested in human rights and criminal law, so a lot of my personal statement related to that, but I also included a project I had worked on about medical law, and a little about competition law, etc, just to show I am interested in the subject as a whole and not just doing the degree as a means to an end. Someone told me that for Oxbridge, they are looking for candidates who truly want to STUDY the law, not just practice it. Mention being a lawyer (in like a sentence at the end maybe), if that’s what you want to do, but it’s important to highlight that you will enjoy studying law too. My main tip is really to just find your passion for the subject and let that show through as much as possible, that’s what they’re looking for and what will make you stand out from the people who just didn’t know what degree to pick, or who just picked law because they want a big salary (no shade if that is you, just don’t show that in your application!!). If you get an interview (this is based on my Oxford interview, Cambridge ones could be different) make sure you read the documents they give you carefully, listen carefully to their questions and what they’re actually asking you. It’s okay to take a minute to think about things before answering, don’t panic and if you’re not sure just ask them to rephrase. Talk through your thought process, they want to see how you think and analyse information, not just hear your final answer. I hope this helps, sorry it’s so long! 

Undergraduate

Applying for Oxbridge

If i’m applying for Cambridge undergraduate law (a competitive degree) what can I do to make sure I stand out?

Highly complex question you've asked, but one that requires a few core points of understanding.

Priestly himself was a socialist that despised bourgeois capitalist society. Subsequently, his dislike and distrust of capitalists, which is caricaturaised through the Birling's is primarily designed to demonstrate the ridiculousness and moral bankruptcy of the wider capitalist ideals.

If you're interested in learning more about this, I'd be happy to do some tutoring with you.

Priestley set 'An Inspector Calls' in 1912 because the date represented an era when all was very different from the time he was writing. 1912 was grounded by a rigid class and gender boundaries that seemed to ensure nothing would change. Yet by 1945, most of those class and gender divisions had been breached. Priestley wanted to make the most of these changes. Through this play, he encourages people to seize the opportunity the end of the war had given them to build a better, more caring society. Priestley wrote 'An Inspector Calls' after the First World War and like much of his work contains controversial, politically charged messages. Eg:  democracy versus dictatorships or socialism versus capitalism. ​

It is an example of immediate post-war drama, it was written after World War Two. Post-war dramas take up some of the economic, political, and social issues prompting that conflict, including socialism versus capitalism, democracy versus fascism, and communal versus individual rights and privileges. It is also a historical drama, as it is set in the run-up to the World War One. This produces instances of dramatic irony throughout the play. Characters refer to the possibility of World War One, and of later calamities that would seem, to the post-World War Two audience, pivotal and lamentable landmarks in world history. The small-scale but devastating violence described in the play points to the slaughter of many thousands that will occur only a few years after its narrated action.
Second, the play considers realistic characters in a realistic upper-middle-class situation, and characters speak in “prose” rather than in “verse.” That is, the characters’ language is closer to dialogue in a novel than to the speeches of Shakespeare’s Hamlet or Othello, for example. The presence of the “Inspector” marks within An Inspector Calls the possibility of actions beyond rational reasoning. Priestley’s work can be viewed as a hinge between more realistic plays of the early twentieth century and the darker, less plot-driven, and more experimental dramas.
The performance history of the play sheds some light on its possible meanings, both at the time of its composition and in later interpretations. Although An Inspector Calls is set some thirty-five years before its first performance, its consideration of industrial power and human worth was still very much an issue at the time of its debut. Priestley weighs what blame belongs to whom, and how ill-considered actions on the individual scale can have fatal, if unintentional, consequences. Anyone watching the play in the 1940s might see the heedlessness of Arthur, the aloofness of Sybil, the outward guilt of Sheila, or the drunkenness of Eric both as personal flaws and as potentially allegorical statements about national responsibility in continental Europe, the UK, and the United States.


thank you so much! that’s really helpful :)

Get the mini quotation bank books. They have the quotes you’ll need, explained with language and structural techniques as well as including context. 
The context is pre WW1, society was highly class driven, with large societal differences and equality gaps. 
Wealthier people tended to be oblivious to the sufferings of poorer people who were forced to work very hard and payed poorly. 
Many felt that England was very prosperous and they did not foresee a war at all. 
Time of great things like the Titanic. In Mr Birlings speech in the first scene he refers to these things.

Sorry I posted an answer to this question and had misread the question. If the government subsidises wheat and buys it at a higher price, the farmers producing rice may see an increase in demand as rice is more price competitive than wheat. 

The farmers will have a guaranteed level of income, which will be higher and more stable than their previous income. As a result the farmers and their families will have an improved standard of living. They may also be incentivised today produce more rice as they can gain more producer surplus from each unit, due to the higher price, which may cause them hire additional workers/find new methods of increasing production. Hope this helped!

Economics

If government subsidies wheat through buying it in a high price, what is its effect to the farmer who is producing rice?
