The UKCAT examination assesses an individual's aptitude, focusing on the rational and cognitive powers of students. As such, it is often incorrectly described as an exam which "cannot be revised for". Additionally, with questions not having a scientific focus, prospective medicine and dentistry students often find it a challenging and frustrating examination. However, as has been proven by our past success, taking students through past paper questions and providing them with reasoning of the answers has significantly improved the scores of our students. Moreover, our tutors aim to best prepare students so that they can more effectively manage their time in the examination, a vital component to succeed, and one which is often overlooked.
