EXACT is a commissioned data analysis service. Exclusively, UCAS Undergraduate scheme customers can opt to receive, without charge, all their underlying data as a computer readable data file under an internal-use EXACT licence. With this data, you can replicate any analysis of your own provider that you could commission through the EXACT data service.
What you need to do
If you would like to receive these data files, your UCAS Primary Correspondent must complete the request form, agree to the terms and conditions, and return the form to exact@ucas.ac.uk by Monday 15 May.
Details
- Files will be provided in CSV format and will contain one record for each of your applications and acceptances.
- In total, you will receive up to five separate files containing the data as at each major deadline (15 October, 15 January, 24 March, and 30 June), including a file containing data at the end of the cycle.
- Files contain up to 99 fields, including applicant ID, each following the analytical EXACT definitions. A file containing all these definitions will also be provided with the data once requested.
- Data covers each closed application cycle, from 2016 back to 2004, and includes the new BTEC variables (with grades across nine subjects) launched in November last year.
