Visit my solutions pages for explained answers to ENGAA specimen and past papers as well as the NSAA Section 2 papers.

The ESAT is a time-pressured exam - please have a look at my time saving page for tips to help save time when doing the questions. I have given details of my attempt at Section 1 of the 2018 ENGAA which I completed under timed conditions - please visit this link to learn more about this.

I have written an eBook which is suitable for complete preparation of the ESAT.
