Mock Admissions Tests

To help applicants prepare for their admissions test, we have created a series of mock tests that follow the format of the actual examinations.

Each mock test has been written by one of our expert tutors, and a model answers booklet and mark scheme are also provided.  

We advise that, where possible, applicants sit these mock tests under timed conditions and try not to have a look at the answers beforehand. (however tempting that can sometimes be)!
