- You should write the NBTs when you feel ready. However, you must also meet the closing dates and deadlines for the institutions to which you are applying.
- Remember also that you must allow time for your NBTs to be processed, and scored, and the results sent to institutions.
- The dates on which results are available are shown in the test schedule.
- Different institutional and faculty requirements determine the deadlines for learners to submit NBT results, which may be as early as June or July.
- The time of writing should not be a cause for concern; available data suggests that learners writing the test late in the year have no advantage over those writing in earlier sessions.
