BMAT refers to the Biomedical Admissions Test and is a 2-hour paper required for select medical, dental and veterinary courses. Meanwhile UCAT is the abbreviated term for the Universities Clinical Aptitudes Test. The UCAT was once only offered in the UK (and was called UKCAT) but has since been expanded to Australia and New Zealand. The UCAT tests a range of skills, including verbal reasoning, situational judgement and overall decision making.
At this time, the BeMedics MSAP course does not support either the BMAT or UCAT. However, there are lots or resources online that you can use to help you with them and having done the MSAP course will certainly help you with situational judgement questions. The only real way to prepare yourself for the BMAT or UCAT tests is to practice past papers, to familiarise yourself with the types of questions you will be asked. Remember, ‘learning’ questions is not a good idea as you will not know what questions are likely to come up. Familiarity with the ‘types’ of questions, is very different to memorising or learning practice questions.
