Why an exam prep course? Getting into a top medical, dental or veterinary science programme depends upon doing your best every step of the way: personal statements, A-levels, interviews, and for many

universities, the UKCAT or BMAT.

Which admissions test will I need to take?If you plan to study medicine, dentistry or veterinary science at university, you will need to prepare yourself to take the required

aptitude test(s), which are the BioMedical Admissions Test (BMAT) and the UK Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT). Please refer to the

table opposite to determine which test you need to take.

If you are applying through UCAS for medical school acceptance, we suggest you take both the BMAT and UKCAT to increase the

number of universities to which you can apply.

I’ve heard that all I need to do to prepare is complete the sample questions on the test-makers’ websites.Kaplan strongly suggests that you visit the test-makers’ website to gain an understanding of what the test you are taking involves.

The materials on the test-makers’ websites will familiarise you with the overall design of the test, however they do not offer

strategies for answering the most questions correctly in a limited amount of time. Pacing is of highest importance on these tightly

timed tests, and these websites only offer limited practice.

“An applicant who may not normally

be considered on academic grounds

could be invited to interview on the

strength of strong UKCAT scores

that may indicate potential. Also,

if applicants are very similar in all

other ways, the score may be the

determining factor in selection

for interview.

UKCAT – UK Clinical Aptitude TestThe UKCAT is an extremely tightly-timed test designed to assess both candidates’ mental abilities and how they might respond

to patients. The majority of the exam tests critical thinking, verbal and mathematical skills; and includes a non-cognitive section.

Scientific knowledge will not be tested. This test is designed to identify those applicants with the strongest aptitude for a career in

medicine or dentistry and is used as a key factor in deciding which applicants get invited for interview.
