How to use this Book

Congratulations on taking the first step to your NSAA preparation! First used in 2016, the NSAA is a difficult exam and you’ll need to prepare thoroughly in order to make sure you get that dream university place.

The Ultimate NSAA Collection is the most comprehensive NSAA book available – it’s the culmination of three top-selling NSAA books:

➢ The Ultimate NSAA Guide

➢ NSAA Past Paper Solutions

➢ NSAA Practice Papers

Whilst it might be tempting to dive straight in with mock papers, this is not a sound strategy. Instead, you should approach the NSAA in the three steps shown below. Firstly, start off by understanding the structure, syllabus and theory behind the test. Once you’re satisfied with this, move onto doing the 300 practice questions found in The Ultimate NSAA Guide (not timed!). Then, once you feel ready for a challenge, do each past paper under timed conditions. Start with the 2016 paper and work chronologically; check your solutions against the model answers given in NSAA Past Paper Worked Solutions. Finally, once you’ve exhausted these, go through the two NSAA Mock Papers found in NSAA Practice Papers – these are a final boost to your preparation.

As you’ve probably realised by now, there are well over 500 questions to tackle meaning that this isn’t a test that you can prepare for in a single week. From our experience, the best students will prepare anywhere between four to eight weeks (although there are some notable exceptions!).

Remember that the route to a high score is your approach and practice. Don’t fall into the trap that “you can’t prepare for the NSAA”– this could not be further from the truth. With knowledge of the test, some useful time-saving techniques and plenty of practice you can dramatically boost your score.

Work hard, never give up and do yourself justice. Good luck!
