Admissions Test for Psychology at UCL?!?

I just noticed on the UCAS site, when you search for the psychology course at UCL it seys:

Admissions Test Required - Yes

But its PSYCHOLOGY :frown:

I didn't think there were any!

When am I meant to take it? I hope I have not missed it *cry*

Please explain!

OP

someone?!

When you were filling out your application did it say that an admissions test was required? I accidentally put medicine down on application instead of maths and i saw bold red writing below the choice saying that the UKCAT was required. Did you se anything like that?
If not, then it may just be a test that UCL administer themselves when they call certain applicants for interviews. You could try emailing the psych admissions dept.

No, nothing like that. Only when I search the course on UCAS.

I guess this means that i don't need a UKCAT etc, but maybe an exam at my interview... (if I get one lol).

Maybe ask some people on the UCL sub-forum if they had to take a test last year for Psychology?

Good question!! I was on the "m" selection thing looking for maths, there were a few diff ones i.e. with physics, with philosophy, straight maths, applied etc...and whatever i did i hit medicine which was below the maths list!! God knows what i was doin but i eventually caught on when it told me i needed ukcat!

Hey, I thought that I was going to have a test at interview this year for similar reasons and also because many friends had been for UCL interview and had a surprise test sprung upon them (whether it was actually a surprise or they just didnt realise I don't know!) In the end there wasn't one, and there was no mention of one.But you could always ring them to find out?
