Medview – Uncovering the UCAT
Medical and Dental School Admissions across Australia and New Zealand are now based on the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT). The UCAT is a new test based on the British UKCAT. The transition from the UMAT to the UCAT is more than just a name change. It's a different test with different challenges. It's a test which prioritise different skills and demands a markedly different approach from prospective students.
Unsure about changes in medical school admissions testing? Decipher the shift from UMAT to UCAT for Australian med school admissions.
