University Entrance Exam Tutors
London Tutors and LLT possess global expertise with tutors who provide entrance exam prep tutoring to students planning to undertake university aptitude tests for Oxford, Cambridge and other prestigious UK, US, Canadian and Australian universities.
We provide world-class tutors and education consultants for the following university entrance exams:
Law admissions tests
Law National Aptitude Test (LNAT)
Required by many leading UK law schools, including Oxford, Cambridge, UCL and King's College London. It lasts 2 hours 15 minutes: 42 multiple-choice questions on argumentative passages, then an essay from a choice of three. See our LNAT tutoring.
Law School Admission Test (LSAT)
The admissions test for law schools in the United States and Canada, scored from 120 to 180. It tests logical reasoning and reading comprehension, with a separate written argument. See our LSAT tutoring.
Oxford and Cambridge admissions tests
Test of Mathematics for University Admission (TMUA)
A computer-based test of mathematical thinking and reasoning, in two 75-minute papers. It is used for mathematics and computer science courses at Oxford, and for computer science, economics and mathematics at Cambridge.
Engineering and Science Admissions Test (ESAT)
A computer-based test for science and engineering courses, including engineering, natural sciences and veterinary medicine at Cambridge and engineering, physics and biomedical sciences at Oxford. Candidates take Mathematics 1 plus modules chosen from biology, chemistry, physics and further mathematics.
Test of Academic Reasoning for Admissions (TARA)
Oxford's test for courses such as PPE, Economics and Management, History and Politics, Human Sciences and Experimental Psychology, first sat in October 2025. It has two multiple-choice sections on critical thinking and problem solving, and a short essay.
Sixth Term Examination Paper (STEP)
Demanding mathematics papers (STEP 2 and STEP 3) taken in June, often as part of a conditional offer for mathematics at Cambridge and some other universities.
College assessments and written work
Many Cambridge colleges set a written assessment for arts, humanities and social science applicants who are invited to interview, and many Oxford courses ask for samples of written work. We help you prepare for both, and for interviews.
Medicine
University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT)
Used by most UK medical and dental schools, including Oxford and Cambridge, and taken in the summer before you apply. Since 2025 it has four sections: verbal reasoning, decision making, quantitative reasoning and situational judgement. It replaced the UKCAT name and has taken the place of the BMAT.
Graduate and US admissions tests
Graduate Record Examination (GRE)
The GRE General Test is used for master's and doctoral programmes worldwide. It takes just under two hours and covers verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning and analytical writing.
Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT)
The GMAT Focus Edition is used for MBA and other business and management programmes. It lasts 2 hours 15 minutes, with sections on quantitative reasoning, verbal reasoning and data insights.
Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT)
Used for undergraduate admission to many US universities. The digital SAT takes about two hours and 14 minutes, with Reading and Writing and Math sections, and is scored from 400 to 1600.
Admissions tests change often. In recent years the BMAT has been withdrawn, the UKCAT has become the UCAT, and Cambridge's NSAA, ENGAA and ECAA have been replaced by the ESAT and TMUA. Oxford has replaced the TSA with the TARA and the MAT and PAT with the TMUA and ESAT, and has discontinued its other subject tests, such as the HAT, ELAT, MLAT and CAT. The Bar Course Aptitude Test (BCAT) was abolished in 2022. Always check the current requirements for your course, and contact us if you are unsure which test you need.
