2025 BMSAT test dates: 21, 22, 23, 24 & 27 October
What is the BMSAT?
If you are applying for Biomedical Sciences, you will be required to register for and book to take the Biomedical Sciences Admissions Test (BMSAT).
The BMSAT is an 80 item, 90-minute test of scientific knowledge and its application. Questions are based on material commonly covered in higher tier GCSE (or equivalent) science and mathematics courses followed during secondary education.
20 questions are set for each of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. Multiple choice questions are employed, with automated marking of responses.
The detailed content assessed within the specified areas is summarised in the United Kingdom Department for Education specification for GCSE single science and Mathematics.
This Oxford admissions test is computer-based, and you will need to arrange to take it at a Pearson VUE authorised test centre. Instructions on how to do this can be found under the How do I register? tab on this page.
Admissions tutors will receive the results of all candidates' tests directly and in time to make their shortlisting decisions in November.
Test scores will be automatically distributed to all applicants after college decision letters are sent in January. Applicants will still be able to write to their college to request feedback.
