Guidance for applicants

Please make sure you check the following before you register for TEEP: 

  1. Check that the university you are applying to accepts TEEP results as evidence of academic English language proficiency. TEEP is accepted for direct entry to undergraduate and postgraduate level programmes at the University of Reading, as well as a number of other UK universities. However, the certificate cannot be used for UK student visa applications when a SELT is required.
  2. Check the test dates and make sure you are available to take all parts of the test. Please note that the TEEP speaking test may take place on a different day from the other parts of the test. 
  3. Make sure that you have the equipment required for taking the online test. Visit our Prepare for TEEP page for details.
  4. Make sure that you have a valid passport or other photo ID, as you will be required to show it at the start of the test for identification purposes.
