Oxbridge entrance exam dates?

[Hidinginbed]

My DD has recently decided to apply for MFL at Oxford - I did a bit of research and historically the entrance exams have been in early November.

However I have seen on the admissions page that this year entrance exam dates are scheduled from 21-31st October 😬 We have a 4 day holiday booked the first weekend in half term (flying on thursday evening 25th) which is really worrying me that it will clash!

Does anyone have any insight? It seems strange that they haven’t released dates yet if they are planning to hold them in half term as surely we can’t be the only people who may have holiday booked? I am panicking somewhat. And I’m guessing it’s only one date for everyone so won’t be able to take it earlier / later.

DS is going to be sitting it abroad in the middle of a school trip! ( if he decides to apply- keeps changing his mind..)

Not missed any deadlines but do look on the website for when you need to go what. Oxford exam entrance deadlines are earlier than the ucas ones. Also dates to keep free for exams and interviews.
Also only need to put Oxford or Cambridge on the UCAS by 15th October but from another mum if they are doing a popular course put everything down by then.

And don’t book holidays between Oct 21-31st until you’ve checked the entrance exam page!
