Can I take the test at my school or college?

You may be able to take the test at your school. If your school or college is not already registered as a centre, they can apply to become a test centre. The deadline for applications to become a centre for the tests taking place in October 2019 is 27 September 2019. If approved as a test centre, they will need to register you as a test candidate separately.

Important information:

please be aware that the registration deadline shown for each test is the last date for centres to make their candidate entries. It is likely that centres will set their own, earlier deadline in order to be certain of completing all entries before the registration deadline. So please make sure you speak to your centre as early as possible.
our search facility may occasionally list some centres with limited or no availability for admissions tests, due to high demand.
