The Modern Languages Admissions Test (MLAT) at Oxford
What is the MLAT and do I need to take it? The MLAT (Modern Languages Admissions Test – previously the Modern Languages Aptitude Test) is a computer-based assessment that all students applying to study a modern languages course at Oxford will be required to sit.
The Modern and Medieval Languages Admissions Assessment (MMLAA) - Cambridge
Any candidate applying to study Modern Languages at Oxford or Cambridge will have to sit a written paper as part of the admissions process: The Modern Languages Aptitude Test (MLAT) at Oxford and the Modern and Medieval Languages Admissions Assessment (MMLAA) at Cambridge. There are big differences between the two tests, from the structure and what they are testing to when they are sat. This blog covers the Cambridge MMLAA. You can read our blog on the Oxford MLAT here.
We can provide Italian tuition tailored to specific exams, for GCSE Italian, IGCSE Italian, IB Italian, A Level Italian, and Oxford MLAT / Cambridge MMLAA Tests and other University Entrance exams. We help to improve exam performance by making use of past Italian papers, reinforcing core learning, developing revision techniques, and helping students to push the boundaries of their knowledge of Italian to differentiate themselves from fellow students.
GCSE Italian students will need a solid grounding in Italian language, texts, and culture. Our Italian tutors will help your child develop a fluent knowledge of the language, and maximise their ability to translate Italian across a range of different authors. We aim to build up your child’s confidence, speed, and accuracy under pressure in Italian, equipping them to excel at GCSE level.
The Italian tutors we represent can help your child across all areas of the IGCSE Italian - Foreign Language curriculum. The IGCSE provides an excellent foundation for further study in Italian, and the tutors we represent will help your child take full advantage of this, reinforcing their knowledge of the language and preparing them to perform well under examination conditions.
IB Italian is a challenging qualification, requiring fluency in Italian at a high level. The Italian tutors we work with will help your child to gain a deeper understanding of the language, develop their translation skills, and make use of their knowledge successfully in an exam context.
A Level Italian is a well respected subject suitable for many future career paths, and students have to master the language to succeed. Our Italian tutors are able to focus in on those areas where your child needs additional support, help them translate accurately under time pressure, and ultimately prepare them to perform strongly in these key exams.
Both these exams are designed to help whittle down the number of students moving on to interview stage when applying to Oxford and Cambridge, and as such are rigorous and competitive tests. The Italian tutors we represent can help your child maximise their performance in this assessment, building on their knowledge and helping them to demonstrate the depth of their understanding successfully, as they compete for places to read Italian at the prestigious university of their choice.
