Overview — what changed and the test you sit now
The Engineering Admissions Assessment (ENGAA) was discontinued in 2023. Cambridge Engineering applicants now sit the ESAT instead — see the ESAT guide for the current requirement.
The Engineering Admissions Assessment (ENGAA) is no longer a current admissions test. Cambridge Engineering moved to the ESAT from 2024 entry onwards.
If you are applying for Cambridge Engineering for 2027 entry, prepare for the ESAT — see the ESAT guide.
Past ENGAA papers remain useful supplementary practice for the ESAT Mathematics and Physics papers; the underlying skills carry over.
We do not offer a ENGAA question bank or 1-to-1 sessions for ENGAA preparation — the test is no longer in use. For the active replacement test (or to confirm whether your course requires any admissions test at all), contact us or open the replacement guide linked at the top of this page.
