HAT Registration

WHEN IS THE HAT TEST IN 2022?
It is anticipated that in 2022 the HAT will take place on the first Wednesday in November 2022.
Students all sit the HAT test on the same day; this is usually the first Wednesday in November of the year of application. Students taking the test at international test centres will start the test at various time in accordance with their time zone.
HOW DO I REGISTER FOR THE HAT EXAM AND WHERE WILL I SIT THE TEST?
Students usually register to sit the HAT exam at their school or college. If your school is not already registered as a test centre, you can register at an alternative local test centre. You can find a local test centre here. 
WHEN IS THE DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION?
The deadline for registration is the same as the early Oxbridge UCAS deadline: 6pm BST on 15 October.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO TAKE THE HAT EXAM?
There is no official fee for students to take the HAT but some test centres may charge candidates for costs such as invigilation and room hire.
HOW DO I FIND OUT MY HAT SCORE?
Students do not automatically find out their HAT test result but you can ask for your score as part of the usual feedback process. Oxford start releasing feedback after the admissions process is complete in the January after you sat your HAT exam.
