Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our practice paper collection

Are these official practice papers?

Yes, all practice papers in our collection are official past papers released by the respective examination boards and test administrators. We source papers directly from UCAT, LNAT, Cambridge Assessment, Oxford Admissions, College Board (SAT), and ACT Inc.

How many practice papers should I complete before my test?

We recommend completing at least 5-8 full practice papers for most tests. For competitive admissions tests like UCAT, LNAT, and Oxbridge assessments, completing 10+ papers under timed conditions is ideal. Focus on quality practice with thorough review rather than rushing through papers.

Do you provide solutions and mark schemes?

Where available, we include official mark schemes and worked solutions with our practice papers. This allows you to self-assess your performance and understand the marking criteria used by examiners.
