Registration isn't automatic and just completing the UCAS application won't register applicants for the test. Please note, this year the deadline for test registration for all tests is 29 September. Schools and colleges are strongly advised to apply for authorisation as soon as possible so they are ready to begin registering their Oxford applicants as soon as the test registration window opens on 1 September.Īny questions regarding the TSA or BMAT should be directed to CAAT. Schools and colleges will need to apply for authorisation to become Oxford/TCS test centres (even if they are already CAAT centres) before being able to register applicants for Oxford's own tests. Applying to become a test centre via Oxford's test centre portal should be quick and straightforward, particularly if the school or college are used to running public examinations. All applicants registered for a computer-based or hybrid Oxford admissions test will be invited to take a practice test online (in most cases a digital version of the 2022 past paper) so that they can familiarise themselves with the format of the test and experience this in advance of their test day.Īll the latest information on this year's arrangements for Oxford's own admissions tests is available in our guide for applicants where you will also find an Admissions test centre timeline giving an overview of key dates. There will be a new test for Geography applicants. In 2023, it will deliver paper-based TSA and BMAT tests for the final time but will not be delivering Oxford's own tests.įrom now, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) will manage the delivery of Oxford's own tests which will be computer-based - with the exception of the MAT and PAT which will be hybrid - with the questions online and with a printed answer booklet. Update on testing arrangements for 2024-entryĬambridge Assessment Admissions Testing (CAAT) recently announced its decision to withdraw from delivering its admissions testing services over the next two years. Our guide for applicants has comprehensive information about all stages of the Oxford admissions process on this page we have drawn together further, specific advice for teachers based on the questions we are most frequently asked or what is most topical.

We appreciate all the hard work that teachers put into supporting students to make applications to Oxford University. Events that students apply for directly.
