About the UCAT

Understanding the University Clinical Aptitude Test

The UCAT is used by medical and dental schools in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand to select applicants with the appropriate mental abilities, attitudes, and professional behaviors for clinical careers. It assesses aptitudes rather than knowledge.

The UCAT is designed to be challenging under time pressure. Unlike knowledge-based exams, it tests cognitive abilities including verbal reasoning, decision making, quantitative reasoning, abstract reasoning, and situational judgment.

With an average of less than 30 seconds per question in some sections, speed and accuracy are paramount. Effective preparation focuses on building these skills through intensive practice rather than content memorization.

Universities use UCAT scores differently—some use cutoffs, others use it as part of a weighted score. Understanding your target universities' requirements is crucial for setting score targets.

Who Should Take This Test?
  • Students applying to UK medical schools
  • Students applying to UK dental schools
  • Students applying to Australian medical/dental programs
  • Graduate entry medicine applicants
