This includes our Thinking Skills Assessment practice tests.
The Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA) is primarily used by both Cambridge and Oxford University to select graduate or scholarship candidate.
University of Oxford admission tests
If someone is interested in applying for the University of Oxford, then there is a massive chance that they will need to sit for an admission test as almost all the education courses there have admission tests as the entrance criteria. One will need to register separately for sitting on an exam and the deadline for the registration are to be kept in mind.
The admission test is different from one university to another. For example, the admission test syllabus and rules in Cambridge will be different from the ones at Oxford. One will have to register for the UCAS application process, where the deadlines will be different.
Cambridge admissions tests

- Cambridge Admission Assessment

- Sixth Term Examination Paper also known as STEP

- Cambridge Law Test which is to be taken by law students
