Undergraduate admissions and outreach

Are you taking an Oxford admissions test in a Pearson VUE test centre in October?

Start preparing - we recommend you start preparing using the test-specific resources on our individual test pages. For most tests, you will find several years of past papers and solutions as well as an online practice test. Taking the online practice test will familiarise you with the structure and content of your test and help you manage your time on test day. Being familiar with the online test platform and functionality will also allow you to focus fully on your answers when taking your test. 

Pearson VUE's guidance on what to expect on your test day - we strongly recommend that you read this before attending your test. You can also find this information in our special On Test Day edition of our newsletter for applicants.

Remember your ID - when you arrive at your Pearson VUE test centre for your test appointment, before being permitted to enter the test room, you will be required to confirm your identity by presenting one or more forms of accepted ID (see specific information about acceptable IDs). If you arrive at the test centre without the required ID, you will not be permitted to take your test.
