About the UKCAT

The United Kingdom Clinical Aptitude Tests (UKCAT) are used widely amongst dental and medical schools and academic institutions for student selection. The test consists of 5 different aptitude psychometric tests, all in the multiple choice format, and takes just under 2 hours to complete.


The 5 different sections of the UKCAT are:

  1. Verbal Reasoning - includes 55 reading comprehension questions. Each question is comprised of a short text (usually about a medical topic) followed by a statement. Based on the text (and only on it!), you must determine whether the statement is true, false or you cannot tell. This type of verbal reasoning test is often referred to as - Verbal Critical Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and/or Reading Comprehension.

  2. Quantitative Reasoning - includes 40 numerical reasoning questions. Most questions consist of a table or graph, a short paragraph and a question. Based on the information provided you must calculate and figure out the correct answer. This test measures your numerical skills. It is very often referred to as Numerical Critical Reasoning Test, Numerical Reasoning Test and Numeracy tests.
     

  3. Abstract Reasoning - consists of 65 questions and is often referred to as an IQ test or Diagrammatic test, as it measures abstract abilities.
    It is commonly accepted that abstract abilities are innate. We beg to differ this stand - preparation can improve results on abstract reasoning tasks. By familiarising yourself with the formats and types of psychometric tests you already gain a significant time advantage. Furthermore, many Abstract Reasoning tests are based on a few basic principles and if you learn these principles you have made a long way to improving your score.


  4. Decision Analysis - consists of 26 questions. Assesses the ability to decipher and simplify information and as a result reach a conclusion.

  5. Non-Cognitive Analysis - a personality test or questionnaire, based on the answers provided by the candidate about his behavioral patterns and attitude.
    Although there are many forms of personality tests, only 4-5 different formats are used in the market. Since these tests are based on self-reporting, careful preparation and understanding of what underpins these tests can dramatically improve your profile by highlighting your strengths and qualities which are important for a medical professional.
