Who Can Take UKiset?
UKiset is designed for students aged between 9.5 and 18 years old. We recommend that candidates have at least a basic knowledge of English.
The test results compare the candidate’s academic skills against British students within the same age group and specifically against those studying in the independent sector.
UKiset also assesses their level of English using the Cambridge English Linguaskill test that provides their current CEFR level.
