As part of your medicine or dentistry application, you are required to sit an admissions test . The UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test) and BMAT (BioMedical Admissions Test) are two aptitude tests used by medical schools in the UK and beyond. How exactly they’re used varies from school to school, and this is sometimes outlined on their websites and prospectuses. Depending on the course you have chosen to apply to, you will be required to sit either the UCAT test or the BMAT test. You will be able to find out which exam you are required to sit on the UCAS website. Some students may be required to sit both, depending on the combination of courses you are applying to.
The University Clinical Aptitude Test is used in the selection process by the majority of UK University Medical and Dental Schools. The UCAT helps universities to select applicants with the most appropriate mental abilities, attitudes and professional behaviours required for new doctors and dentists to be successful in their clinical careers. It is used in collaboration with other admissions processes such as the UCAS application and academic qualifications.
