This page has information about some of the additional tests you can take. These are qualifications from the USA but they can be taken all around the world, and although we can't admit you with these qualifications (they are not included in our typical offers), they are normally taken in addition to AP exams.

 

SAT Reasoning Tests

Information on SAT Tests can be found on the College Board SAT website. You can do a search for SAT Test Centres and look at the info for taking SAT outside the USA, if relevant.

If you are taking SAT, note that it would need to be taken alongside other qualifications such as five Advanced Placement exams (or equivalent qualifications). We can't admit you on the basis of SAT scores alone, but we will take them into account, if that makes sense.

Please also bear in mind that if you've taken SATs, you're required to disclose all tests taken and scores achieved (including retakes) on your UCAS application. (we should warn you that you may disadvantage your application if you don't include them, and Cambridge Colleges can contact College Board or your school to confirm your results).
