Previous feedback and evaluation reports

The most recent feedback and evaluation reports are listed here, below you can find a list of previous reports.

Sift reports

For some exercises, we publish reports on the sift stage. These give general feedback about what stronger applications tended to look like, or include, in comparison to weaker applications for that exercise.

Qualifying tests

General feedback and evaluation reports are published for qualifying tests, which give evaluation on the test itself as well as some information to help candidates understand what characterises a successful test.

The reports give a broad indication of:

the general standard of tests
the range of marks awarded
the distribution of marks within this range
where candidates performed poorly, and the identification and analysis of common problems

Please note that as we consistently review our processes, the way tests are run might change over time. Therefore feedback and evaluation reports from previous years should be treated with caution and not seen as examples of exactly how upcoming tests will look.
