bmat page***Please note that the BMAT has now been suspended and will not be used as an admissions test by either Oxford or Cambridge Universities for any courses. They will instead require the UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test) for their clinical courses. Click here to read our guide to the UCAT.***

 

Your BMAT score can make the difference between whether you reach your Oxford or Cambridge interview or not. Though this is intimidating, as with all exams, practice and preparation can make a real difference to your performance.
