UKiset preparation
UKiset is an online entry test used by UK independent schools for overseas applicants. This page sets out what the test is, from UKiset's own information, and how we prepare your child.
What the test is
- An adaptive online entry test in English for admission to UK independent schools, for students aged 9.5 to 18.
- It covers vocabulary, mathematics, non-verbal reasoning and English skills (reading and listening, creative writing, grammar and spelling), and reports a CEFR level based on Cambridge Linguaskill.
- It can be taken anywhere in the world through online invigilation, or at an approved test centre for candidates with specific requirements.
- Results are normally processed within 3 business days. The full UKiset Profile can go to up to 5 schools, chosen before or after the test. Results are valid for one year, and a retake is allowed after 3 months.
Taken from the test provider's own pages. Details change: check with the school or the test provider.
