What are the National Benchmark Tests?

The National Benchmark Tests see how ready you are for tertiary studies

The National Benchmark Tests were first introduced in 2005 by Universities South Africa (formerly HESA) and is an assessment to see how university-ready prospective first-year students are.

These tests have 3 purposes:

To assess entry-level academic literacy and mathematics skills.

To assess the relationship between entry-level skills and school-level exit results.

To provide institutions with additional information in the admission and placement of entry-level students.

There are two tests that potentially need to be taken, depending on what your teen will be studying.
