UK Admissions Tests

General UK Testing Information

In the UK tests are generally requirements for Law and a variety of Medicine related fields, as well as for many programs in Oxbridge.

The best overview of this is the UCAS page on Assessments in the UK.

Different programs in the UK accept different exams. So you need to check out the University programs on UCAS and on the specific website. As an example there are two possible Law exams:

Universities will take only one of these exams. So you want to prioritize the test you study for by the list of Universities that will take that exam. For Medicine one of the exams contains Physics and the other does not. So it may also be that you choose Universities based on the exam that you feel most confident in.

IMPORTANT for International Applications

As an International Applicant for some highly competitive programs like Medicine, these exams are the KEY! You have to have the strong grades, experiences, and personal statement, but it is a strong exam score that will get you an interview. To get an interview in the UK for Medicine it is VERY VERY competitive and you will need to be in the top percentiles on the exam to be considered. For more information about other options please see your School Counselor and or check out the related page on this website.
