Please note, some test centres set their own (earlier) deadlines for test registration. Please check if this is the case with your chosen centre well in advance, to ensure that they register you for your test(s).

You must take the test at a centre that is authorised to run Admissions Testing tests (for most candidates this is their own school or college). Check with your Exams Officer if your school or college is already registered as a centre that can run our tests.

If you are not able to take the test at school or college, you need to find an authorised open test centre where you can take the test. Use the search below to find your nearest authorised open centre.

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 2018 is 30 September 2018. Once they are a test centre, they will need to register you as a test candidate separately.

Follow these steps:

Please ask the Exams Officer at your school/college/test centre to register you and give you your candidate entry number as proof that your registration is complete.

You must provide your centre with the following information:

your name, gender, date of birth and UCAS number exactly as they have been entered on your UCAS application
the name of your university/ies, course/s and course code/s
details of any access arrangements you require, along with the evidence to support your request. Requests for modified question papers for October 2018 tests must be submitted to us by your centre by 30 September 2018.

Please note, your school/college/test centre may charge an administration fee for running the test (this is in addition to the test fee, if there is a fee for your test).
