Careers - UCAT Exam Dates & Resources
When it comes to your students' medical application, navigating the UCAT exam efficiently can make all the difference. Scheduling UCAT tests strategically, along with targeted preparations for the exam, can significantly impact their success. As UCAT exam bookings open on 18th June, I recommend that they secure an end of August/early September test date. The test dates range from 8th July to 26th September, so selecting an end of August/early September date provides ample time for summer preparation and revision, without getting in the way of their studies in the new academic year.
To assist preparations for your students applying for the upcoming UCAT and UCAS medical application, we've developed a comprehensive Get Into Medicine E-learning course where we delve into the UCAT exam and the UCAS application process.
Yr 12/S5 and Yr 13/S6 reapplication students and parents can register for the Get Into Medicine E-Learning for FREE with code ‘getinto24’ here:

- Entrance Exams: UCAT and UCATSEN

Tailored for flexibility, this e-learning allows students to learn at their own convenience, fitting seamlessly into their busy schedules. It alleviates the stress of the medical application process, offering invaluable guidance for crafting an outstanding application to medical school.
While E-Learning offers flexibility to suit your students schedule, we understand they may still have questions or seek insights directly from a Chief Mentor. That's why we're excited to offer one-hour drop-in sessions with a Chief Mentor every Wednesday from 8-9pm. Simply check our events calendar for upcoming dates and access the link:
