Admissions Tests

If you are applying for certain courses, you will be required to take various tests. The LNAT (Law National Aptitude test) and UCAT (formally the UKCAT) should be taken at regional test centres over the summer holidays (or at the beginning of the Autumn term) before you apply to university, whilst the BMAT and entrance tests for Oxford and Cambridge will be taken in school on the 4th November. Please check the details of your course requirements carefully and we will organise a time for you to see the Examination Officer so register for the tests. Some universities (including some of the courses at Cambridge) set entrance tests for candidates when they are invited for an interview at the university. It would be wise to prepare for these over the summer. Details can be found on the university, college and faculty websites (it is important that you check all three), which often carry examples of past papers.
