Many universities test your English when you arrive. This helps them decide if you need extra language support.

What to do: Check UCAS or your university English support pages to see how the assessment works. Book a test slot if needed, arrive on time, and do your best in reading, writing, listening and speaking tasks.

What do you need: You need your student ID, a pen and any instructions the university sends.

Outcomes: You will receive a simple result and advice about any extra English support you can join.

Lifehack: Keep a copy of your results so you can see your progress over time.
