If you’re applying for History, or its joint schools, you will need to sit the History Aptitude Test, or ‘HAT’. Your score in the HAT will be used to help decide whether or not you should be called for an interview, and may also be taken into consideration if Admissions Tutors have to decide between you and an applicant who performed equally well at interview.
We’ve summarised all the key information that you need, so have a read of our HAT overview to make sure you’re clued up.
