What is ELAT?
The English Literature Admissions Test (ELAT) is a 90 minute test designed to be accessible to all students in their last year of pre-university literary study. Candidates are asked to write one essay, comparing two or three passages of unseen poetry or prose. ELAT is not a test of wide reading, nor is it based on the assumption that there are certain texts that all students should have read by this stage in their education.
