Can I book a test test as a practice, even though I won’t be applying to University this year?

We would strongly discourage candidates from paying to sit the test early and there is no benefit in doing so. UAT-UK provides practice tests, free of charge, in the Pearson VUE system, which replicate the test system that candidates will see on the day. One of these has the additional benefit of including explained answers, which can be used for revision purposes, and the other is offered under timed conditions. Booking a test in a Pearson VUE test centre takes a seat away from a candidate that needs to take the test that year.
