cambridge admissions assessment online

hi!! i've applied to christ's for english and i've just got my admissions assessment information - they say that we have 30 mins to download/submit the paper and 90 mins to write but does anyone know how printing works for the online assessments? will the time taken to print be taken away from the writing time?

heyy! sorry I don't know the answer to this, however I was wondering if you knew if all/most admissions tests are online this year? This is the first I've heard of doing it online - though many this depends on the college (Murray Edwards hasn't said this on its website). Do you know if we'll have to be invigilated by a member of our school or something? thank you! 💕

I've applied to Gonville and Cauis have had the same question!! I'll let you know if I find out :smile:

Maybe check the email you've received with details of the assessment, mine has an FAQs section that says for English you are able to print out the question paper but "must destroy it" after the test. I don't think printing time will be added though.

hi! the online english assessment isn't invigilated (unlike other subjects) -- i don't know why! if your interview is in person maybe the admissions test will be too, probably on the same day?

My college (St Catharine's) said you could print the CELAT paper and that it's not invigilated (might vary between colleges though)

thank you so much for answering! I know now - for MML it's a test which is invigilated over zoom! good luck with your assessment!
