Who sits in January?
Most applicants to Cambridge or Oxford must sit in October. The exceptions are mature applicants to a Cambridge mature college with a January deadline and applicants to Oxford's Astrophoria Foundation Year. Applicants to other institutions can sit in either month, and there is no advantage to either. You can sit once in an admissions cycle.
Fee
The test costs £78 for candidates in the UK and Republic of Ireland and £133 elsewhere. Bursaries are available to UK candidates in financial need; apply before you book.
