What is the ESAT exam?

The ESAT (Engineering and Science Admissions Test) is a computer-based test used by several leading universities in the United Kingdom during the application process for undergraduate engineering and science programs. It has replaced some earlier engineering and science admissions tests.

The exam is made up of separately timed modules. Mathematics 1 is compulsory for all candidates; depending on the program applied to, the candidate chooses one or two of the remaining modules (Mathematics 2, Physics, Chemistry, Biology). All modules consist of multiple-choice questions. The ESAT assesses a candidate's quantitative and scientific readiness alongside academic grades and other parts of the application.

ESAT exam format

The ESAT is made up of multiple-choice modules, each lasting 40 minutes:

Mathematics 1

Compulsory for all candidates · 40 minutes

Optional modules

Mathematics 2, Physics, Chemistry, Biology · one or two depending on the program

Question format

Each module consists of multiple-choice questions

Module selection

Which modules are required depends on the university and program

Scoring and target scores

Each module of the ESAT receives its own scaled score, and results are sent to the university you apply to. Universities treat this score as a part of the whole application rather than a fixed cut-off, and each institution may weight the ESAT differently. A strong outcome therefore means consistent, high performance in the compulsory Mathematics 1 module and in the other modules you choose.

The ESAT suits final-year school students who want to study engineering or science in the United Kingdom and is taken in limited test windows within the application cycle. Because the exam draws on school-level mathematics and science, a planned preparation of a few months focused on revising the relevant module topics and on timed practice is suitable for most students.

Frequently asked questions

Mathematics 1 is compulsory for all candidates; the remaining modules are determined by the program you apply to. For example, some engineering programs require physics, while science programs may ask for chemistry or biology. We clarify which modules you should study based on your target programs' requirements.

The ESAT was introduced to replace some engineering and science admissions tests previously used by universities in the United Kingdom. Because its structure is based on module selection, it adapts more flexibly to the program a candidate applies to than the older tests.

The ESAT draws on school-level mathematics and science; however, its questions often require applying that knowledge quickly and flexibly. Preparation therefore focuses not only on revising topics but also on the question types in the exam format and on time management.

All lessons are online and one-on-one. Your tutor works live with you on screen, combining teaching, practice and exam strategy in a single flow. Lessons can be recorded so you can review them any time.

In the free assessment we measure your current level, discuss your target and exam date, and outline a personal study plan. There is no cost or obligation — you decide once you see the plan.

Lesson days and times are arranged entirely around your schedule. Weekly lesson count is planned together in the consultation based on your target, level and time until the exam.

Our tutors are experienced specialists who know the exam format and scoring logic. After your assessment you are matched with the tutor that best fits your needs.

Because each plan is personalised, pricing depends on your goal and the number of lessons you need. You receive a clear quote and plan in the free consultation — no surprise costs.
