*If the registration deadline falls on a public or national holiday, please be aware there is no extension to the registration period. Therefore, you must ensure your centre registers you for the test in good time.
Reminder: the 15 October deadline is the last date for centres to register you for the test, so you will need to register with a centre well before then. Centres may set their own deadline in advance for accepting registrations, so please make sure you speak to them as early as possible.
**For international centres the scheduled start times will vary, depending upon where they are in the world.
† Results will be released at 09:00 GMT on this date via our Metritests system. Results are automatically sent to universities in the UK and Lee Kong Chian (as long as your choices were entered on Entries Extranet when your centre registered you for the test). Applicants need to share results with all other universities. Visit the BMAT – November scoring and results page for more information.

Can’t afford the entry fee?
Institutions using BMAT want to make sure that the entry fee is not a barrier to access or widening participation. In some cases, we can reimburse BMAT's fee based on ability to pay. We reimburse standard entry fees to eligible candidates. You will need to pay your test centre your entry fee, which will be reimbursed to you if you are eligible for reimbursement. Late entry fees and administration fees cannot be reimbursed.
