At the center for preparation for international English exams – IELTS, ESOL, TOEFL.
English is included in the list of additional subjects for the NMT, meaning that applicants can choose it among others.
English is required for admission to the following majors:
You need to prepare for the test in advance, because knowledge without constant practice is forgotten. A foreign language is not something we improve on a daily basis, so preparation must be intensive and focused specifically on passing the test, rather than being distracted by the development of individual skills.

The NMT in English meets the standards of the Common European Recommendations for Language Education, so it requires thorough preparation.
Work on common mistakes.
Pay special attention to the complex parts of language learning: collocations, phrasal verbs, idioms — those that cannot be translated literally and are not characteristic of the Ukrainian language.
Learn to manage your time
Previously, time management was not given enough attention in preparation, but today, everyone understands that the ability to manage time saves most applicants.
Use reliable sources
Your favorite blogger is not always an expert in testing, so for preparation, you need to look for information from the Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment, the Ministry of Education and Science, and official representatives of education in Ukraine.

Study plan
Made independently
Many students write a study plan without outside help, but this does not guarantee that it will suit them; this requires experience.
Advice from experience
At AP School, we focus on creating a plan that can be followed, not just one that requires hard work.
Discipline and control
Prepare 24/7
Continuous intensive preparation, nighttime theory, and daytime practice — isn’t that how most students remember their independent testing?
Balance
The exam does not require 100% effort from the student, but rather a balanced approach: 20% effort = 80% result — this is the principle used in preparation at AP School.
Knowledge check
Abstract check
Students see their results on demo tests on online simulators – only the number of points, correct, and incorrect answers.
Specific check
The AP School teacher provides feedback, analyzes mistakes, and then focuses the class work on these mistakes.
The duration of preparation depends on the student’s current level. With a basic level, i.e., knowledge of the 6th–8th grade curriculum (A2–B1), it takes 6 months to 1 year of regular classes. If the level is higher (B1+), then 3–4 months will be enough for the student.
Yes, a student always has the opportunity to prepare for the NMT and score 190+ points without outside help, but such preparation requires a high level of self-discipline, certain experience, and an understanding of the exam structure. This is effective if the language level is already above average.
It is best to start 9-12 months before the exam. This will allow you to work on grammar and vocabulary without rushing and complete enough tests to develop the skills you need to pass the exam with confidence.
The 2026 NMT program includes grammar topics: tenses, modal verbs, conditional sentences, passive voice, and vocabulary on everyday topics. It is designed to test reading and comprehension of texts.
