For tests taken in October/November and Sixth Term Examination Paper (STEP) in June

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/November 2022 is 16 September 2022 at 12.00 noon (BST).

I cannot find a test centre nearby, what can I do?

If you cannot find a test centre in your home town or nearby, and your school is not eligible to administer our tests, you will need to travel to the closest test centre.

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.
