Frequently Asked Questions

The Simulated Exam is a realistic, full-length UCAT practice mock sat at a physical test centre. This is a unique mock exam not available on the MedEntry online platform. It’s designed to replicate the live UCAT experience as closely as possible.

This experience allows you to:

• Sit under exam conditions in a controlled setting
• Reduce anxiety and nerves by becoming familiar with the testing environment
• Learn what UCAT test day will feel like, so you can perform at your best

Exact venue details, including address and access information, will be emailed to you after booking.

Please contact MedEntry if you have any questions. 

Please arrive 30 minutes before your selected session. Check-in begins once you arrive and head to reception. Very late arrivals may be denied entry or may have their exam cut short to avoid disrupting the next session.

Only test takers will be allowed into the test centre. Anyone accompanying you will not be permitted inside, and no waiting areas are available. Please arrange to meet them outside once your exam is complete.

During check-in:

1. Your photo ID will be verified
2. You will be asked to read the UCAT UK Examination Rules and sign to confirm that you understand and agree to them.
3. A photograph will be taken
4. All personal belongings must be placed in a bag and set aside for the duration of the test. Please bring a bag with you for this purpose.
5. Staff will conduct a visual inspection of your clothing, hands/arms, and any comfort aids before you enter the room
