Registering at the right time for your UKCAT exam can be very important to achieving a good score!
The test was first introduced in 2006 and is used to help medical schools differentiate between the high number of applications they receive. This means it is important to score well and taking the test at the right time can be a big part of that!
All 5 sections of the UKCAT are multiple choice format and they cover the topics; verbal reasoning, decision making, quantitative reasoning, abstract reasoning and situational judgement. Different applicants will find different sections of this test challenging, with the abstract reasoning section being particularly unfamiliar to most students.
