Does it matter whether I sit the ESAT in October or January?
Hi,
I'm applying to Oxford and Imperial, since the PAT is in October I'd rather sit the ESAT in January.
Does it matter whether I sit it in October or not, is it looked down upon for any reason (silly question I know but like to cover all bases), etc.?
(applying for 2025 entry)
Thanks

Exactly the same situation i'm in. I think i'll move my ESAT to January. Imperial website strongly recommends the first sitting, but I think it's because of the first sitting having more availability with times and test centres than the second sitting.

I just spoke to Imperial because my son wants to sit his in January because he feels it's too stressful sitting it so close to the PAT. The lady I spoke to said they consider all candidates on an equal footing regardless of which sitting they choose (offers are only made from the end of January onwards); the only reason they strongly encourage October is that they realise many applicants will either be preparing for mocks over the Christmas period, or may want time off over the Christmas period. In terms of availability for the January sitting - Pearson Vue haven't even opened the booking for the January tests yet, so I guess if you are prompt entering when booking opens, you should be ok?
