We're aware of private companies and individuals who offer, at a charge, information and advice on our admissions process, assessments and interviews. We DO NOT support or encourage any of these commercial enterprises.
None of these companies/individuals has access to any information that's not already available free of charge from College admissions offices, Student Admissions and Access (previously Cambridge Admissions Office), Cambridge University Students' Union (CUSU) and student-led websites such as Inside Uni; and we're unable to verify the accuracy of the information these companies/individuals may provide.
Applicants should be aware that sharing of admissions assessment or interview questions either during or after the admissions cycle is strictly prohibited and applicants could inadvertently disadvantage their own application by engaging in this practice.
