What Are the NBTs?

The National Benchmark Tests (NBTs) are assessments for first-year applicants to higher education institutions. The NBTs were designed to measure a writer’s ability to transfer understanding of Academic Literacy, Quantitative Literacy, and Mathematics to the demands of tertiary coursework.

The National Benchmark Tests (NBTs) were commissioned by Universities in South Africa. (formerly Higher Education South Africa – HESA) with the task of assessing the academic readiness of first-year university students as a supplement to secondary school reports on learning achieved in content-specific courses.
