Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19)
Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing is monitoring the situation with the spread of Novel Coronavirus very closely. Our top priority is to help to protect the health and safety of our candidates and their families, and of the staff in our centres.
We will do everything we can to minimise disruption for candidates, centres and the institutions using our tests, while complying fully with international best practice and the advice of national and local healthcare authorities.
As the information about Covid-19 is changing rapidly, we will provide regular updates on this webpage as the situation unfolds. We understand you will have concerns around whether or not our tests are taking place, therefore we will provide detailed information about each test session. Please check back for updates.
STEP 2021
The STEP 2021 details are finalised and have been updated on the STEP web pages. We will, however, continue to monitor the Covid-19 situation carefully.
If there are any updates to STEP 2021 due to Covid-19, we will share them on this web page.
I am unable to attend the test due to Covid-19, what should I do?
If you are unable to attend the test due to Covid-19, please contact your test centre to make them aware as soon as possible. You or your test centre on your behalf should submit a Special Considerations form which will require you to provide medical evidence to prove your absence. This must be completed by 24 June at 17:00 (UK time). For more information about Special Considerations and to access the form, please visit our Support site. Please note, the form will not be available to access until the test day.
BMAT – September 2021
Due to the ongoing challenges caused by the global Covid-19 pandemic, the BMAT – September test session will not go ahead this year (2021).
We will be running the BMAT – November test session, which will take place on 3 November 2021. Further information about this test session will be confirmed soon. Please check the BMAT – November page for updates.
Please ensure you also check with your chosen institution(s) to confirm which BMAT test session(s) they will accept as an alternative to BMAT – September.
We will also share our latest updates on our social channels. Please follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn.
