sarahlouise Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 For the written supplement to a history & politics application to oxford, is sending through the historical investigation (the history IA) appropriate? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrowhead Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 It can be any marked assessment. I sent in one of the English commentaries I had written for my Law entrance and gotten a very high score for. Perhaps a history essay written in class that you got marked for?

Cynthia Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) I actually sent in my historical investigation for the written work and it was fine - I cut out the source evaluation section though. I'm really quite sure that this, or a homework essay, would be much much better for you than a timed one, as it's very hard to reach any kind of an interesting level of analysis considering the time constraints and the fact that it's a high school programme (well - we do have to write three essays in three hours in Oxford too), and more importantly the IA will also allow you to highlight an area of interest or, like in my case, being able to tackle a historical period that you haven't been taught in class.I'm reading for a BA History, so if you have any questions feel free to ask!
