UCAT

What is the UCAT exam?

The UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test) is a two-hour test completed on the computer which assesses a range of mental abilities identified by medical and dental schools as important. The exam consists of five separately timed subtests: verbal reasoning, decision making, quantitative reasoning, abstract reasoning and situational judgement. Each subtest contains a number of questions in a multiple choice form.
