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 and takes just under 2 hours to complete.
The 5 different sections / psychometric tests of the UKCAT are:
- Verbal Reasoning - in this section there are 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 widely used across industries and is often referred to as - Verbal Critical Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and/or Reading Comprehension.
See sample UKCAT test Verbal Reasoning questions - Quantitative Reasoning - in this section there are 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 and once again is widely used across industries. It is very often referred to as Numerical Critical Reasoning Test, Numerical Reasoning Test and Numeracy tests.
See sample UKCAT test Quantitative Reasoning questions - Abstract Reasoning - these type of tests are often referred to as IQ tests and Diagrammatic tests. Their goal is to measure the candidates abstract abilities. It is commonly accepted that we are born with abstract abilities and as opposed to verbal and numerical skills which we learn and can continue to practice and improve, abstract abilities are innate. We beg to differ - preparation can improve results on abstract reasoning tasks. By familiarising your self 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. This section consists of 65 questions.
See sample UKCAT test Abstract Reasoning questions - Decision Analysis - assess the candidates ability to decipher and simplify information and as a result reach a conclusion. This section consists of 26 questions.
See sample UKCAT test Decision Analysis questions - Non-Cognitive Analysis - is in effect a personality test or questionnaire. Based on the answers provided by the candidate about his behavioural patterns and attitude the tests aims to generate a personality profile of the candidate. There are many forms of personality tests however there are only 4-5 different formats used in the market. Since these tests are based on self-reporting, careful preparation and understanding of what underpins these tests can assist you dramatically to improve your profile by highlighting your strengths and qualities which are important for a medical professional.
