Admissions Tests

Questionnaire

The SPA Steering Group asked us to explore further with HEIs the rationale behind the use of tests as part of the admissions decision-making process. To broaden our research in this area we produced a questionnaire which asked not only about which specific tests are in use but also more detailed questions around areas including: what additional information is gained from the test result; how test scores are used in conjunction with other factors and whether any weightings are applied; whether any approval mechanism and/ or regular review process for tests is in place.

Institutions using one or more admissions tests were asked to complete the questionnaire and from a total of 64 institutions who have declared the use of one or more admissions tests for 2011 entry to HE, 42 responses were received, a 66% response rate. Thanks are extended to the institutions that responded.

The questionnaire responses are currently being analysed and will appear on a new page in this section of the website soon.
