Two hours, four timed sections, one shot. Here’s the blueprint — bars scaled to the minutes you get in each section.

What is the UCAT?

The University Clinical Aptitude Test is a ~2-hour computer-based test of Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning and a separately-banded Situational Judgement Test — four scored sections and 184 questions in total. Around 30 of 46 UK medical schools and most dental schools use it as a primary shortlisting tool.

Featured · The plan that actually works

UCAT Precision Planner

A revision plan that’s genuinely personalised to you. It tracks your scores, mocks and progress, then builds a realistic day-by-day plan around your experience, the time you can actually give it, and even your energy levels — so you hit your best score without burning out.

Tracks every score & mock

Log each mock and the planner re-reads your data, surfacing the exact subtests holding you back.

Adapts to your weak spots

Daily practice is re-weighted toward whatever your results say is weakest — automatically.

Realistic to your life

It factors in your experience, how much you can practise and when, and your energy levels — not a generic timetable.

Built by top-1% scorers

The method comes from people who actually scored in the top 1% of the UCAT. It’s what really works.
