Applying for Medicine, Dentistry or Oral Health?

If you are in Year 12 and plan to apply for any of these health science courses to start in 2020, you may need to sit the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT).

The UCAT is a two-hour, computer-based test which assesses a range of mental abilities identified by universities as important to practicing in the fields of medicine and dentistry.

It consists of five separately timed subtests which each contain a number of questions in a multiple-choice format.

You will sit the test in July 2019 and selected universities use your UCAT results as part of the selection process, in conjunction with your ATAR and HSC/VCE results, and in some cases, an interview.

You will only have one chance to sit the UCAT this year and you will need to register for a Pearsons VUE online account by 16 May and book the test by 17 May. Applications are now open and It will cost you around $298 to sit the test. You will be able to receive your results straight away.

You have the choice to start preparing for the test early. There are several private companies who offer commercial preparation programs – www.nie.edu.au and www.medentry.edu.au are examples.

It is important to note that the universities who use the UCAT do not endorse any of these companies and you can access free preparation materials from the UCAT site at https://bit.ly/2tjIewA

Please go to https://www.ucat.edu.au/ for more information about the UCAT.
