What went into these twenty pages

Written from the primary documents, not from other people's notes:

  • UAT-UK's ESAT pages, Candidate Handbook, ID Policy and Content Specification; Pearson VUE's UAT-UK page; the Cambridge, Imperial, Oxford and UCL course and admissions pages.
  • The NHS on exam stress and breathing; the US IES practice guide on spacing and quizzing.

No pass mark exists, so none is printed; published averages are shown as context only. Plans and checklists are our suggestions. Not affiliated with UAT-UK, Pearson VUE or any university.

Questions

How do I get it after paying?

It's yours the moment the payment clears, and you come straight back to this page with Download and Read buttons. It stays in your ProSyllabus account.

Will the kit be updated after I buy it?

Yes. We regularly correct and improve our kits as syllabi, notifications and exam patterns change. Each time you download from this page you get the latest version, at no extra cost — so check back here from time to time, and download it again before your exam.

How do I pay?

By card on a secure payment page. Your card details go straight to the payment provider; we never see or store them. Where we support your currency, the price is charged in it.

Can I see it before I buy?

Yes. Page 1, which explains the 1–9 scale and lists the 2027-entry dates, is on this page in full, free.

Will it tell me the score I need?

No. There is no ESAT pass mark, and each university uses the score differently. The toolkit shows what Cambridge and Imperial publish, as context only.

Is it for the January 2027 sitting?

Yes. It covers who can sit in January, every January deadline, and a plan for your modules.

What does this kit cover?

There is no ESAT pass mark: each module is scored 1.0 to 9.0 with no total, and universities use the score in different ways. This toolkit sets out what is published, including Cambridge and Imperial's own figures, then turns it into a plan: the January deadlines, the modules for your course, the official practice tests, a 14-day plan, the module rules and printables.
