about ukiset
UKiset (UK Independent Schools Entry Test) is a standardised assessment used primarily by international students applying to leading independent schools in the UK. It is designed as a pre-assessment, helping schools evaluate a student’s academic potential and English proficiency before progressing to further stages. Widely used by boarding and day schools across the UK, UKiset provides a single test that can be shared with multiple schools. We support families throughout this process, combining tailored preparation, strategic school guidance and expert tuition to ensure each student is well prepared and appropriately positioned.
