Admissions Tests

You will need to sit your test at a test centre. There are between 150 and 180 test centres around the world and you will be able to do a search on the test website for the centre or centres in your country.

In all cases, please be aware that the registration deadlines are in mid-September, which is before the 15 October deadline for your UCAS application. It is not possible to register late and these tests are required for application, so if you do not register by the relevant deadline, please be aware that it will not be possible to consider your application. 
 

We recommend that you register as early as possible for your test once registration opens as this increases the chances that you will be able to sit the test at your preferred test centre.

Once available, you will need to set up an online account and register yourself for your test by the relevant deadline.

There will be an entry fee to pay when you register. The fee is based on the location of the test centre where you sit your test, not on your place of residence or nationality. If you will be in the UK when you apply, please instead read the the UK application support section, which is for all students who will be in the UK at the time of application, regardless of nationality or fee status.

The following prices are from the Cambridge admissions website / exam board websites at 08/05/2025 but please double-check before you apply:

You should read the relevant test websites thoroughly - there is both a summary page for each test on the Cambridge Admissions website and the exam board website to read. You'll find both links in the registration and test dates section above and we encourage you to read every page of the websites about the test you are taking to ensure that you are fully informed. 

Look out for the following things in particular:

We also point you to information and the exam board practice materials on the relevant subject page (see the test info and helpful resources section).

If you have a disability, neurodiverse condition, mental health condition or long-term health condition and normally have access arrangements when you sit exams, you will also be able to apply to have access arrangements in your Admissions Test. 

If this is relevant to you, please be aware that you will need to apply for your access arrangements before booking your test, and that you will need to provide supporting evidence.

Supporting evidence must be written in English.  If the original version of the supporting evidence is not written in English, please arrange for a signed translation.

Please also see the Disability, Specific Learning Difficulty or long-term illness page for further information about applying with a disability, Specific Learning Difficulty or long-term illness.

See Cambridge Admissions page on Admissions Tests.

We are also expecting there to be some webinars on the tests that require registration as the application period approaches, so keep an eye on this section for details of those. We advise you to book a place on the Christ's International Webinars.
