The UAA is a university admission assessment that lets you show universities what you know and how well you can apply that knowledge. These exams provide a path to admission opportunities, financial support and scholarships, in a way that's fair to all students. It tests your knowledge of reading, writing and math — subjects that are taught every day in secondary school classrooms. Most students take the UAA during their senior year of secondary school, and our partner universities use the UAA to make admission decisions.

Taking the UAA is the first step in finding the right university for you — the place where you can further develop your skills and pursue your passions. But UAA scores are just one of many factors that universities consider when making their admission decisions. SSCE results are also very important. In fact, the combination of SSCE result and UAA scores is the best predictor of your academic success in universities.
