What is UKiset Test Prep?

- Over 200 UK schools adopted UKiset as part of their admissions process for international students with English as a second language
- Some use UKiset as the sole assessment/the first step of their admissions process
- Not a compulsory test for candidates, but schools are likely to ask for it sooner or later in the application process
