Our Admissions Test Seminars are one day events which give applicants a chance to meet our expert Test Consultants and hear from them what it is that examiners are looking for in the Admissions Test. The Seminars are a fantastic opportunity for applicants to ask the Test Consultants any questions they may have regarding the Test.

The Seminars take place at the London School of Economics (LSE) and include an interactive presentation on test methodology and approach. Applicants sit a mock test under exam conditions after which our Test Consultant will take them through the correct answers, explanations and examples. Each test taken at the Seminar is marked and returned to the applicant after the event.

Testimonial:

"The Admissions Test Seminar was definitely beneficial and really good value. The presenter had a really thorough understanding of the test and how it worked. Example questions and their answers were well demonstrated and we received really useful feedback. Going through each answer was incredibly helpful in understanding what they [the Examiners] are looking for and I was really impressed that the essay was marked at the end. I was so nervous about the test beforehand, but came away feeling calm, collected and confident. And finally, it was really fun to meet other Medical candidates!"
