UCAT
The UCAT ANZ was established to help universities achieve greater fairness in selection. Around 14,000 candidates sit the test each year as part of their application to courses in medicine, dentistry and clinical sciences.
The University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT) is a computer-based admissions test, used by the UCAT ANZ Consortium of universities in Australia and New Zealand to help select applicants for their medical, dental and clinical science degree programmes.
The UCAT ANZ test is changing in 2025. The Abstract Reasoning subtest will be withdrawn from the test. The new test format will comprise 3 cognitive subtests (Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making and Quantitative Reasoning), and the Situational Judgement Test.
