Practice here will not help with the test
If you have applied here
Your first hurdle is a written task assessing academic competence and critical thinking.
What to do
- Read the course’s own selection page before you prepare. It is linked on this page and it is the only authority on its own process.
Where this site does not help
- The short-listing task here is assessed writing under time, not ranked judgement. This site does not train written composition.
Practice material here reflects what research and first-hand accounts indicate these assessments are like. No course publishes its test, so nothing is confirmed and this site claims no inside knowledge. Not affiliated with Trent, the Clearing House, the BPS or the HCPC.
