The ENGAA and NSAA have now been replaced by the ESAT for 2025 admission onwards.

In order to practice for the ESAT, you should use these past ENGAA and NSAA questions to practice: https://esat-tmua.ac.uk/esat-preparation-materials/

The ESAT does not allow the use of calculators. I don’t use a calculator for any of my solutions, and I never have.

It is important to note that not all of these old questions contain examinable content. These questions will be crossed out in the documents on the link above. The ESAT content specification can be found here.

I cannot emphasise how important knowing the test specification is. Please make sure you familiarise yourself with it. Go through each point and make sure you understand them.
