Cambridge University use the Natural Sciences Admissions Assessment (NSAA) to test candidates applying to study Natural Sciences and also for those applying to study Veterinary Medicine.
The NSAA is a 2 hour examination consisting of the following sections:
Tests take place in early November.
The NSAA is a highly challenging test, requiring students to demonstrate breadth and depth of knowledge across mathematics and at least two science disciplines.
The Tutors we represent can work with students to cover any gaps in their knowledge across this wide range of topics. They can help your child practice with past papers under time pressure, and provide detailed feedback on areas for improvement to maximise their performance on the day. They can also stretch your child’s understanding on topics they already understand well, to allow them to distinguish themselves in against the strong competition they are likely to face in taking the NSAA.
