UKCAT Clinical Aptitude Test Top 10 Tips

The UKCAT Clinical Aptitude Test is used in the selection process by a consortium of UK University Medical and Dental Schools. If you wish to study medicine or dentistry at one of the top UK universities (including Oxford and Cambridge) you will have to, not only get great grades in your A-Levels or High-School exams, but you will also have to impress on the UKCAT Clinical Aptitude Test.

The test is divided into five parts: Verbal reasoning - answering written questions, Quantitative reasoning - math/numerical problems, Abstract reasoning - deduce relationships from information by abstract thinking, Decision analysis - deal with different types of information, to deduce relationships to judge and to make an appropriate decision in a possibly ambiguous situation, Non-cognitive analysis - a kind of personality test to see if you will make a good doctor or dentist.

On the UKCAT website, it is stated that you cannot revise for the UKCAT because the test is not based on curricular material. This is true to a certain extent, but there are still some things which you can do to prepare yourself.
