UKCAT to UCAT: Why the Change?
6 years ago by Stan
In 2019, UKCAT (United Kingdom Clinical Aptitude Test) was renamed UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test). So why did this change occur?
The simple reason is that Australia and New Zealand have adopted UCAT for entry into medicine and dentistry courses. As the UKCAT is no longer solely used in the UK, the name has been changed to UCAT.
Although the name of the test has changed to UCAT, the content remains the same. It is still comprised of five subtests:
- UCAT Verbal Reasoning
- UCAT Decision Making
- UCAT Quantitative Reasoning
- UCAT Abstract Reasoning
- UCAT Situational Judgement
So what does this change mean for you? The main implication is that now UK students have the opportunity to enrol with the leading medical entry organisation in Australia, New Zealand and Ireland: MedEntry. MedEntry has become synonymous with medical entry due to the quality of our preparation materials and teaching methods.
