Test dates for October 2025 and January 2026 have now been announced. Please see our key dates.

UAT-UK will offer a new Test of Academic Reasoning for University Admission (TARA) for 2026 entry.

More information on TARA will be published in April. See our statement on the homepage.

I am ill and due to sit my test. What should I do?

Please refer to our Special Consideration policy for full details.

You will need to notify UAT-UK before your test booking. You can do so via your online account. If you do not contact us before, and choose to sit your test, you are declaring yourself fit to sit.

Please do not contact Pearson VUE to report illness as they will be unable to take the appropriate action. Only reports sent to UAT-UK will be accepted.

If you are unable to sit at all, and have the option to re-book in January, you must do so.

If you can’t re-book, or you still attend your test but you feel your performance has been impacted, you may be eligible for special consideration.
