Before you use these numbers
- A university-level minimum is a floor, not an offer. Several of the pages in this dataset say in their own words that individual programmes require more.
- Which row applies to you depends on your test date, not on today’s date. Scores on the old scale stay valid for two years, so both rows can be live at once.
- Admissions pages change without notice and this one is a copy. The link beside each quote is the thing that decides your application.
