Current UK admissions tests
TARA, TMUA and ESAT, alongside LNAT and UCAT. We align preparation to the current official specification and the student’s course.
Testing · 03
Specialist admissions test tutors, matched to the exam.
One-to-one admissions test preparation for Oxbridge, UK medicine and law, and selective US university applications.
Aureus test preparation begins with error patterns, not a generic syllabus. We identify what limits the student’s score, teach the underlying reasoning and build the speed, selection and composure required on test day.
Designed for
Where this programme creates the most value.
- 2027-entry Oxford and Cambridge applicants

Programme components
What is included.
US standardised testing
Digital SAT and ACT preparation across concepts, strategy, timing and full-test execution.
Diagnostic map
A first assessment separates knowledge gaps, reasoning errors, pacing problems and avoidable execution losses.
Specialist teaching
Students work with mentors chosen for the specific test and subject rather than generic test-prep tutors.
Deliberate practice
Targeted drills, mixed sets, timed sections and full mocks create measurable progress.
Review system
Mistakes are classified and revisited until the reasoning changes—not merely until the answer is remembered.
Method
How the programme moves.
Diagnose
Establish a clean baseline under realistic conditions.
Rebuild
Teach the concepts and reasoning habits behind repeated errors.
Accelerate
Introduce time pressure only after the method is stable.
Simulate
Use full mocks and final review cycles to make performance repeatable.
Official sources
Prepare to the current specification.
Aureus monitors the live test regime, but the relevant university and test provider remain definitive for requirements, booking and format.
Programme questions
Before you decide.
01Which tests do Oxford applicants take for 2027 entry?+
Oxford now uses UAT-UK’s TARA, TMUA and ESAT for relevant courses, plus LNAT for Law and UCAT for Medicine. The required test depends on the course; families should always confirm on the official course page.
02How many hours of preparation are needed?+
It depends on the diagnostic, target, time remaining and how quickly the student consolidates feedback. We recommend a programme after seeing actual performance rather than selling a fixed number of hours blindly.
03Do you provide practice materials?+
Yes. We combine official materials, carefully selected external problems and mentor-designed drills. Official specifications and sample tests remain the source of truth for format.
