The National Benchmark Tests are an assessment for first year applicants to Higher Education.

The National Benchmark Tests (NBTs) are an assessment for South African university applicants. The purpose of the NBT is:
• To identify talented but educationally disadvantaged students whose schooling might not have allowed them to demonstrate their full ability
• To contribute to ensuring that students who are identified as having potential in terms of the tests also receive offers of academic places and support (such as academic development opportunities, financial aid, residence places, and so on).
• To contribute to the diagnosis of all incoming students’ academic strengths and weaknesses, in order to feed into the design of learning and teaching support and curriculum development.
• To act as a complementary assessment measure to the school-leaving examination – especially given that the school-leaving certificates, such as that provided through the National Senior Certificate (NSC) and other such bodies, are made up of different school leaving subjects and that scores on these subjects are norm-referenced.

They are one of two national assessments in South Africa, the other being the National school leaving examination, the National Senior Certificate (NSC), which is a statutory requirement for entry into higher education.
