Students applying for medicine in 2019 and beyond
2019 Year 12 students who intend pursuing medicine at UWA and Curtin University will need to sit a UCAT exam in July. It was previously known as UMAT. The UCAT will be like UMAT but it will now be a two-hour computer-based test. UCAT will assess a range of mental abilities identified by universities as important to practicing in the fields of medicine / dentistry / clinical sciences. Students should prepare for the test using free official practice materials which have been developed by the UCAT Consortium of Universities to support test preparation. See - https://www.ucatofficial.com/ucat-anz/preparation/
Registration opens on the 1 March. For more information go directly to the UCAT official website - https://www.ucatofficial.com/ucat-anz/test-format/
