When can I begin taking my 21+-entrance examination?
Once you have registered, you can choose a start date. Depending on when you want to begin your degree programme, you will sit the subject tests. View the exceptions page whether or not you have to sit a subject test.
Have you passed the subject tests? In that case, the next step is sitting the language tests. You will always sit the language tests at the next opportunity in the language test schedule. You will receive an invitation for this purpose by email.
Every test that you fail (a mark lower than 6) may be resat once. The resits may only be taken at the next scheduled subject or language test opportunity to do so. You will receive an invitation for this purpose by email.
