About UCAT

What is the UCAT test?

The UCAT is a computer-based admissions test, used by a consortium of UK universities and non-UK associate member universities to help select applicants for their medical and dental degree programmes.

The UCAT tests the following skills:

  1. Verbal Reasoning 
  2. Decision Making 
  3. Quantitative Reasoning 
  4. Abstract Reasoning 
  5. Situational Judgement

These skills are tested through 5 subtests.

Verbal Reasoning

You will be presented with 11 passages of text, each associated with 4 questions. You have 21 minutes to answer the 44 questions in this subtest.

Some questions assess critical reasoning skills, requiring candidates to make inferences and draw conclusions from information. You will need to read the passage of the text carefully. You will then be presented with a question or incomplete statement and four response options. You are required to pick the best or most suitable response. You will only be able to select one response.

For other questions, your task is to read each passage of text carefully and then decide whether the statement provided follows logically.  

There are three answer options you can choose from: 

  1. True: On the basis of the information in the passage, the statement is true.
  2. False: On the basis of the information in the passage, the statement is false.
  3. Can’t Tell: You cannot tell from the information in the passage whether the statement is true or false.


Decision Making 

You will be presented with 29 questions that may refer to text, charts, tables, graphs, or diagrams. Additional information may be presented within the question itself.  You will have 31 minutes to answer the questions in this subtest. 

The Decision-Making subtest requires the student to use logic and reasoning to solve textual and visual data-related questions.

The Decision-Making subtest includes the following types of questions:

  1. Multiple choice questions: Four answer choices are provided to the student out of which only one will be correct.
  2. Yes/No Statements: The student has to select ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ for each answer.

Quantitative Reasoning

You will be presented with 36 questions associated with tables, charts, and/or graphs.  You will have 25 minutes to answer the questions in this subtest.

The Quantitative Reasoning subtest is used to assess the student’s ability to evaluate various scenarios using his/her numeracy skills and answer multiple-choice questions.

The Quantitative Reasoning subtest includes the following type of questions:

Multiple choice questions: The student will be faced with scenarios with data that could be in various forms, including tables, graphs, and two-three dimensional shapes. Five answer choices will be presented and the student has to select the correct answer choice.

Abstract Reasoning

You will be presented with 50 questions associated with sets of shapes.  You will have 12 minutes to answer the questions in this subtest.

Abstract Reasoning subtest tests the student’s ability to evaluate and generate hypotheses and assess critical thinking skills. The student will be presented with shape-based patterns and sequences to assess his/her spatial awareness and reasoning.

Abstract Reasoning subtest includes the following types of questions:

  1. Type one: two ‘sets’ of shapes (Set A and Set B), followed by five ‘test shapes’. You must decide if the ‘test shapes’ fit Set A, Set B, or neither set.
  2. Type two: a series of shapes that alternate from one box to the next. You need to state which of the four shapes would follow in the sequence.
  3. Type three: a ‘statement’ of two sets of shapes, where one has been changed to create a new set. You need to apply the same change to a set of test shapes and then choose which of the four options follows.
  4. Type four: like type one, but you’ll be presented with four ‘test shapes’ simultaneously and will need to decide which one of the four belongs to Set A or B

Situational Judgement

You will be presented with 69 questions associated with a series of scenarios (each scenario may have up to 6 questions associated with it). You will have 26 minutes to answer all questions within the subtest.

The Situational Judgement subtest is designed to test the student’s capacity to understand real-life situations, find the critical factors and behave appropriately when dealing with them.

The Situational Judgement subtest is made up of multiple-choice and ranking-style questions. These can be broken into the following types of questions:

  1. Appropriateness: After each scenario, the student will be presented with an action. It needs to be rated according to how appropriate it is in the context of the scenario.
  2. Importance: The student will get a number of actions after each scenario and he/she has to rate how important they are within the context of the scenario.
