Dear Ms Lake, 
 
Your request was received on 28 January 2019 and I am dealing with it under the terms of the 
Freedom of Information Act 2000 (‘the Act’). 
 
You asked: 
 
Would you please provide a break-down by college of the BMAT scores of applicants to 
Cambridge University in the current cycle for entry 2019.  Please provide the results of the 
people who took the September BMAT separately from those who took the October BMAT. 
For applicants with BMAT results from each of the BMAT sittings, I would like to know, broken 
down by college: 
All applicants - number of applicants, average for S1, average for S2 Successful applicants - 
number of applicants, average for S1, average for S2 

 
The requested information is attached. 
 
Please note that the attached document should not be copied, reproduced or used except in 
accordance with the law of copyright. 
 
If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a 
complaint or request an internal review of this decision, you should contact us quoting the reference 
number above. The University would normally expect to receive your request for an internal review 
within 40 working days of the date of this letter and reserves the right not to review a decision where 
there has been undue delay in raising a complaint. If you are not content with the outcome of your 
review, you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the 
Information Commissioner cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the complaints 
procedure provided by the University. The Information Commissioner may be contacted at: The 
The Old Schools
