(History Admissions Test)

The HAT is a competitive written assessment used by the University of Oxford to evaluate applicants for History and related courses. Designed to test historical thinking rather than factual recall, the HAT assesses your ability to analyse unfamiliar sources, construct arguments, and think critically about historical evidence. It rewards creativity, clarity, and depth of analysis under timed conditions. At MyOxbridgeTutor, our History tutors include Oxford graduates who excelled in the HAT themselves and can help you approach it with structure, confidence, and academic flair.

Prepare with tutors who understand what admissions tutors are looking for. They offer tailored support focused on essay planning, source analysis, and writing practice—helping you sharpen your historical thinking and stand out in a highly competitive field.
