Admissions tests ESAT tutors

ESAT (Engineering and Science Admissions Test) replaced PAT, NSAA, and ENGAA from the 2024 admissions cycle and is run by UAT-UK (the consortium Oxford joined after Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing's wind-down). It's used by Oxford for Physics, Engineering and Materials Science; by Cambridge for Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Natural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine; and by Imperial for several courses. Multiple 40-minute modules cover Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Advanced Maths and Advanced Physics; applicants sit a subset depending on the course. Tutoring helps most with the speed-at-difficulty combination (each module is 27 questions in 40 minutes), with multiple-choice strategy under time pressure, and with the cross-module load. Look for tutors with strong STEM backgrounds and recent ESAT experience; the test is new, and tutors with legacy PAT/NSAA experience can transfer but should be explicit about recent ESAT practice.
