UKiset
The UK Independent Schools’ Entry Test (UKiset) has been designed as a single assessment that can be used to apply to many different British independent schools. Many (including schools such as Eton, Charterhouse & Oundle) now use this as the first pre-assessment in the admissions process.
Results are not based on a candidate’s previous school experience, cultural background of first language, but on their academic potential and English skills. The goal is to create a fair testing system for all applicants across the globe.
The tests look closely at the candidate’s underlying aptitutde in processing language (in English), mathematics and non-verbal problems. The detailed UKiset profile compares each candidate’s results against British national standards and independent school students.
This exclusive information enables schools to make faster decisions, preventing families missing out on second choices or other top school places. It also enable parents to target the right schools for their children.
- UKiset consists of three separate assessments: Reasoning; Cambridge English; Essay. It takes approximately 2.5 hours to complete.
- UKiset may be taken by students aged between 9.5 and 18 years.
