National Benchmark Test
The National Benchmark Tests (NBTs) are an assessment test for first-year applicants to higher education. The NBTs are designed to measure a writer’s ability to transfer understanding of academic literacy (language skills), quantitative literacy (numerical skills) and Mathematics to the demands of tertiary (higher education) coursework.
It is compulsory for all prospective first-year students at SU, regardless of the matriculation year or examination system followed, to write the National Benchmark Tests. For all NBT-related detail and reservations, please visit the official NBT website at www.nbt.ac.za.
