The University Clinical Aptitude Test, or UCAT, is the younger, meaner version of the UMAT. It's a computer-based test from the UK used by Universities as a standardized intelligence and aptitude test for Undergraduate Medical Degrees and Dentistry Degrees.
Many undergraduate Medical and Dental Schools across the country require a UCAT result to be considered for an interview/entry, and often there will be a high cutoff depending on the university and the cohort of applicants. A list of universities can be found here, and each university will make it clear whether or not it is a requirement. So, if you’ve got an inkling to do either medicine or dentistry, I would highly recommend looking into the requirements for the Universities you’re looking to apply for.
Unfortunately, the UCAT is a nasty test that you'll be competing against some of the most driven people in the country to get the best UCAT score; meaning that you’re going to need to give it a red-hot crack. Overall, the UCAT isn’t a test you ‘study’ for, it’s more about developing strategies, perfecting processes, and mentally preparing yourself for it. That's why working with a UCAT tutor can be incredibly helpful in achieving your goals.
VR is all about extracting information accurately and efficiently from a passage of text. You need to skim read for keywords as per each question, and use the flag and return strategy. Our UCAT tutors have years of experience helping students develop the strategies needed to succeed in the VR section.
DM is your logic section. Use diagrams, flow charts, anything that is going to help you. DM has the biggest array of question types, many that you’ll find a breeze, and some that will absolutely stump you, again, flag and return. With the help of a UCAT tutor, you can learn the strategies needed to tackle this challenging section.
Quick Maths. QR is all about reading the question, understanding what they want, and getting the answer as fast as you can. There are a few simple formulas you’ll need to know, but usually this will be stuff you’ve learned all through early high school, so don't worry too much. Our UCAT tutors can provide personalized instruction to help you master the QR section.
The first time you see the AR you’ll think it’s stupid, you get 13 seconds per question, and you’ll be sending photos to your mates. The main strategy? Develop a systematic approach to each question, and use it every single time. Our UCAT tutors can help you develop your own strategy that works for you.
This is a weird one, most universities openly admit that they don't care about the SJT, and that it might only be used to split 2 applicants with the same UCAT, ATAR and Interview (if applicable). Pretty much everything in here will be common sense. While the SJT may not be the most important section of the UCAT, working with a UCAT tutor can help you prepare for this section as well.
The UCAT is nasty, it's intimidating, and it’s highly competitive. But, with enough dedication, you can achieve a good UCAT score. KIS tutors are here to help you with UCAT studies or even ATAR help, providing material on how to prepare for the UCAT exam as well as help you with UCAT marking. Whether you're in Adelaide or Sydney, our UCAT tutoring services can be tailored to meet
As a year 11 student doing ATAR, I was looking for a tutor that could help me with French. KIS Academics was incredibly helpful and fast at finding me a wace french tutor who could assist me with my studies. My tutor Eliza Carey over the past few months has helped me so much not only in French but in biology and maths as well. I’m incredibly grateful for the effort and commitment she has put into helping me be more comfortable and less stressed about the subjects I was having difficulty with. It’s been nothing but an honour to be tutored by Eliza and I strongly recommend her as a tutor

The UCAT stands for the University Clinical Aptitude Test and is one of the criteria used by a majority of the Universities in Australia to select students for medicine and dentistry. It is a two-hour-long exam that you complete on a computer and it focuses on different skills and abilities that universities have identified as being pivotal to success in practising medicine or dentistry. There are 5 sections in this exam: verbal reasoning, decision making, quantitative reasoning, abstract reasoning and situational judgement. The UCAT, alongside your year 12 results and a rigorous interviewing process is what will ultimately determine whether you will be given a place in an undergraduate medicine or dentistry course, so this exam is very important. For more information have a read of the official UCAT Consortium’s website.
The UCAT can seem like a very daunting exam to prepare for, and going into the exam without preparing at all is not advised. Whether you're looking for a UCAT tutor in Adelaide or any other state, a tutor for the UCAT can be of great assistance as they can guide you through each of the sections and help you improve the speed and accuracy of your answers. Without this guidance, it could still be possible to self-learn the techniques and skills required, but it would be a harder journey to travel and having someone there to support you along the way is an invaluable resource.
This is ultimately dependent on how you learn best. If you feel that you are a student who can learn effectively in small groups alongside other students and learn together, then a group setting would be ideal. This would allow you to learn from the questions everyone else would be asking as well and ultimately broaden your understanding as well. Whereas, if you are a student who prefers the individualised tutoring approach, one-on-one sessions will work best. However, for the UCAT, generally, tutoring can entail discussions on how to best approach questions and how to focus on the skills and techniques the UCAT Consortium wants future medical students should have. Due to this, a group setting would facilitate deeper and more meaningful discussions due to the variation in thoughts and points that would be raised.
