ESAT Past Papers

Practice makes perfect when preparing for the Engineering and Science Admissions Test (ESAT). Here we’ve compiled past paper questions, answers and worked solutions to help you with your revision.

The ESAT replaced the NSAA (Natural Science Admissions Test) and ENGAA (Engineering Admissions Test) from the 2024/2025 cycle.

The ESAT test is divided into four sections:

• Mathematics I

• Biology

• Chemistry

• Physics

• Mathematics II

All candidates sitting the ESAT and applying to an engineering or sciences course are required to take the Mathematics I sub-test. This section comprises of 27 multiple-choice questions and candidates are given 40 minutes to complete the test.

Candidates are also required to take a maximum of two other sub-tests from the list above. It is important to check the university websites to see if these are pre-prescribed for the course you are applying to or if you are able to choose. This is especially important if you are applying to two or more of the listed universities.
