Default Oxford admission test
 
Does anyone know whether I need to sign up or anything to do this admission test, because I haven't really heard anything about them from my college, apart from the fact that there is one. I'm applying for Maths and I know it's on the 5th of November.

Also, is it usually in the morning or the afternoon?

I daresay you should have figured this out more than a week before the exam...

Do I need to register for the test?

There is no need to register for the test (unlike with some other tests, e.g. BMAT, TSA, ELAT) but some applicants may need to fill in an extra Test Centre Declaration Form to advise the University's Admissions Office where to send to test. Also there is no fee for taking the test.

Yeah I just found the webpage.

I always assumed that the college would sort everything out because our college has a whole separate procedure for Oxbridge candidates so they know what they're doing, but I was slightly worried that I hadn't really heard any details about the test from them.

Thanks anyway

make sure you know your trig identities- that's one thing you can do that will be useful.
