UCAT

Five sections, one plan.

What it tests

How well you read and judge written information under time pressure.

How we coach it

  • Strategy coaching for each question type
  • Timed practice under exam conditions
  • Score tracking and targeted weak-area work

Every medical school uses UCAT scores differently, so we build your plan around your shortlist.

Station 1 · Ethics

Example prompt

"A patient declines a treatment you believe would help them. What would you consider?"

We also prepare students for traditional panel interviews.

Questions parents ask

No. The BMAT was discontinued after its final sitting in October 2023. The UCAT is now the admissions test for UK medicine, including at Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial and UCL.

15 October in the year before entry. Your UCAT needs to be sat before then, so we plan preparation backwards from that date.

It depends on the medical school and how it uses scores. Some do not publish a fixed cut-off. We build the plan around your shortlist on the free call.

Yes. We run full-circuit mock MMIs and traditional panel interview practice, with recorded sessions and written feedback after every mock.
