What is the UCAT?

The UCAT is a two-hour long, computer-based test that, through five different sections, is made up of 225 questions. The five sections of the test and their respective timings are as follows: verbal reasoning (21 minutes), decision making (31 minutes), quantitative reasoning (25 minutes), abstract reasoning (12 minutes), and situational judgement (26 minutes). The UCAT score is in two parts. The first four sections are each marked with a score between 300 and 900, the sum of which gives an overall score. The other mark comes from the final situational judgement section, for which the test is places in a band between one and four.

 

What courses require the UCAT?

The UCAT is for applicants to medicine, veterinary, and some dentist courses at 30 different UK universities and an additional 13 in Australia and New Zealand.

How is the UCAT used?

Most top UK Med schools use the UCAT as a standardised format for assessing and benchmarking their applicants. The exam rewards problem solving over any specific medical knowledge, so that students taking different qualifications at school can access the syllabus. Universities use students’ marks in the UCAT to make decisions about which applicants they should invite to interview. The vast majority of applicants to these medical schools have similarly excellent exam grades, making it very difficult to decide between them, and an applicant’s UCAT test score heavily influences this decision.
