ATT Exam Noticeboard

ATT Exams - new platform

Please note that the May 2026 examinations for the ATT will be held via a new examinations platform (Test Reach).

We will be providing more information and practice pages for you become accustomed to the new platform in the new year.

In the meantime, we wanted to let you know of two key changes for the May 2026 ATT examinations:
 

  1. The new examination platform will be live proctored (i.e. you will be monitored throughout the examination by a person via your web camera) and the exams will be conducted through a secure browser. To ensure all candidates are moved promptly into their examination, the ATT examinations will have staggered starts from 10:00 or 14:30 (unless you have reasonable adjustments, in which case your examination start time may be earlier). You will be notified in advance of your scheduled start time of the examination.
  2. Owing to the changes to the proctoring of the examinations, the ATT will be restricting access to some materials and websites for the May 2026 examinations onwards. At present, we can confirm that you will be able to access online legislation and the HMRC guidance online. In addition, you will be able to bring into the room where you are sitting your examination 1 A5 notebook in hard copy (this could be a notebook in which you have created notes or the Tolley Memory Jogger for example).

We will continue to provide information on these changes in the new year, and you are strongly advised to keep returning to this page for more information.

In the meantime, we wish you a restful festive break.
