How to register

How to register for STEP

You need to be registered as a candidate by a test centre (you cannot register yourself for the test).

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.

If your school or college is not already registered as a centre, they can apply to become a test centre.

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.
