International Teachers' and Advisers' Conference 2018

A number of course providers in the UK use admissions testing to help select applicants for places on competitive courses. This session seeks to help guidance counsellors through the maze of acronyms (UKCAT, LNAT, BMAT, HAT, and PAT to name a few), while giving information and advice on how you can support students through registration and preparing for the tests. The presenters will outline how universities use these tests in their admissions processes.

• understand the range of admissions tests required by universities
