Overview of UCAT and its Purpose
The UCAT is a two-hour computerized test that most medical and dental students in the UK have to take. It consists of sections designed to test different skills and qualities relevant to becoming a doctor. While some people may debate its usefulness, it is a requirement for many universities, so it's important to be prepared. The test does not assess knowledge that can be revised, but rather tests your abilities. Successful performance on the UCAT requires regular practice and familiarity with the question formats.
