Register no later than 20 March 2025
You must register for uniTEST via SDU's self-service portal sdu.dk/admission. You will receive a mail from SDU with a login, as soon as SDU receives your application from optagelse.dk.
You will be assigned a test time and date immediately after your registration.
How to participate
You will take the test from home on your own computer. During the test you will be connected to your uniTEST- supervisor, who will ensure that the uniTEST is completed in accordance with regulations.
Participation from home makes demands on your computer as well as your physical surroundings. Therefore, it is important that you go through the information and steps listed below.
The test runs in ACER TestApp while you are connected to your online test supervisor via screensharing in Zoom. Therefore, you have to download both applications in advance. You will not be able to open the actual test until your test supervisor gives you access.
Furthermore, you must make sure that your computer and internet connection meet the requirements.
Video walkthrough of IT requirements:
When taking the uniTEST, your physical surroundings must meet certain requirements. It’s important that you comply with these guidelines, otherwise you will unfortunately not be able to take the uniTEST.
It is like an exam, only at home.
Among other things you must sit alone during the test, and there are rules of what items you can have on your desk.
Video walkthrough of the requirements:
You attend the test by opening the Zoom-link which is sent to you prior to the test day. Please open the link in the desktop version of Zoom, and make sure to bring:
- login for Acer TestApp (same as for sdu.dk/admission)
- pin-code (see 'My Info' on sdu.dk/admission)
- picture ID
- pencil, rubber and blank sheets of paper (max. 5 sheets)
Together with other participants, you will be welcomed by a host from SDU. The host connects you to your uniTEST supervisor, who checks your ID and asks you to pan your webcam 360 degrees.
After this, the test begins. Good luck!

Tips for preparing
uniTEST is not about your knowledge but your competencies. This limits how much you can prepare for the test.
Still, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the type of test you'll be taking. This way, you'll have a better idea of how to approach the questions and make the most of your time.
#1: Prepare for the test form
You can try a series of questions from uniTEST, so you are prepared for how the questions are designed. Download the questions (.pdf)
#2: Move on instead of getting stuck
There is only a limited amount of time for each question, so it’s important that you do not get stuck on a question that is difficult for you to answer. Rather, make a guess and move on. You can always return to the question if you have time to spare.
#3: A wrong answer does not count against your score
Therefore, it is better to provide an answer than to skip a question altogether.
#4: Train your reading speed
Before the questions, you will typically have to read a passage that contains the information you need to answer the questions. Therefore, it’s a good idea to train and optimise your reading speed – especially if you aren’t an avid reader. For example, read a lot of books, newspapers and articles in the period leading up to the test.
After the test
On sdu.dk/admission you can keep track of when we have registered your participation. If you have to take additional, programme specific tests, this will be announced on sdu.dk/admission in the spring.
If you have any questions or comments after taking the uniTEST, please feel free to contact us via sdu.dk/admission under “contact”.
