Admission Tests
Some universities require you to sit an admissions test as part of the application process
If you apply for a course that requires an admissions test, you’ll need to check the registration deadline for the test, when you will sit it, and what it includes, as well as the deadline for your UCAS application.
Many courses that require you to sit a test have a 15 October deadline, but your course may be different, so it’s important you check key dates and deadlines. To see if your course requires you to sit an admissions test, check the course description in the ucas search tool.
Most admissions tests happen between August and November the year before you're due to start your studies – some even earlier, before you’ve sent your UCAS application!
Remember to check the date of your admissions test – some take place before the UCAS application deadline.
