How to register

Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing - Information for Test Takers - TSA Oxford

How to register

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. The deadline for applications to become a centre is 30 September.

If you cannot find a test centre within reasonable travelling distance of your home town, please contact the Support Team.

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 must be submitted to us by your centre by 30 September 2018.

How much does TSA Oxford cost to enter?

Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing does not charge for TSA. Your school/college/test centre may charge an administration fee for running the test – please check with them.

When to register

Registration opens on 1 September 2018. Your centre must register you by 15 October 2018. Entries will be accepted until 18.00 BST. Late entries are not accepted.

Reminder: The 15 October deadline is the last date for centres to make entries, so you will need to register with a centre well before then. Centres may set their own deadline in advance for accepting entries, so please make sure you speak to them as early as possible.

By registering for the test, you agree that data provided as part of the entry or admission process may be passed to any institution involved in your University application and that the data may be anonymised and used for research purposes. You also agree that if you obtain a place on a course where the test results form part of the admissions process, then your University may supply Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing with data about your application and results in subsequent assessments at that University, unless you specifically notify the University in writing. We store personal data securely and will ensure if candidate data is used in publications or research that it is used anonymously.
