Question Banks

Use these five question banks to familiarise yourself with the type of questions you will see in your test. Each subtest bank contains a large number of questions which you may wish to attempt over several practice sessions.

Your progress through the question bank is not retained for future visits. It is therefore advisable to make a note of which questions you have attempted.

These questions are intended to be viewed on desktop rather than mobile devices, so as to accurately reflect the live test experience .

Practice Tests

An essential part of preparation as you near your test date should be using the four official UCAT practice tests under timed conditions. These are available in the standard UCAT and extended UCATSEN timings. We cannot offer practice tests with the timings in the UCATSA, UCATSENSA or UCATSEN50 but there are untimed versions you can utilise.

The practice tests are not set up to save your result or provide a score. The final review screen shows which of your answers are correct / incorrect. From this screen, you can return to each question to see the correct answer and display the answer rationale (by clicking the 'Explain Answer' button). Please note that when you take the live test your correct and incorrect answers will not be reported.

These are intended to be viewed on desktop rather than mobile devices, so as to accurately reflect the live test experience.

Please read the information on this page carefully before completing the registration process.

Registration for the UCAT is a two-step process of creating an account and booking a test, using the Pearson VUE registration system.

Key Dates

Key dates and deadlines are on the UCAT Test Dates page. It is your responsibility to register for the correct version of the UCAT, meeting all the relevant deadlines.

You may only take the test once in any test window. Instances of multiple testing in the same year will be treated as misconduct and all results withdrawn.

Test Fees

The test fee is payable at the time of booking by major debit/credit card:

Tests taken in the UK: £70 Tests taken outside the UK: £115

UK candidates in financial need can apply for a UCAT Bursary Voucher to pay for their test.

Test Locations

The UCAT is delivered in Pearson VUE test centres throughout the UK and worldwide. Find your nearest test centre: Pearson VUE Test Centre Locator

If travel to a test centre is difficult because of distance, pandemic, war, civil unrest or natural disaster, please refer to information on OnVUE online proctored testing before booking your test.

Are you a returning candidate?

If you created a UCAT Account in a previous year (regardless of whether you sat the test or not) please refer to this important information for Returning Candidates before proceeding.

Step One - Create a UCAT Account from 16 May 2023

New candidates must create a UCAT account before they can book a test.

Register with your legal name exactly as it appears on the photo ID you intend to present when you test. Accepted forms of ID are specified in our Photo ID Policy. If there is not an acceptable match, you may be unable to test and may lose your test fee. Before requesting a change to the name on your account please refer to the FAQs on the Photo ID Policy page.

When creating an account you will need to provide this additional information.

After creating your account you will receive an email from Pearson VUE containing your username. You can log in to your account using the username and password you set up at registration.

After creating an account, you are assigned a UCAT candidate ID (in the format UKCAT123456). You can find your candidate ID in the left corner of your account. It should be used in all correspondence with Pearson VUE and the UCAT Office.

It can take up to 1 business day for Pearson VUE to set up your account.

Occasionally, account details must be validated before your account set up can be completed. You may need to wait (up to 1 business day) for an email from Pearson VUE with additional instructions. If this email has not arrived (after checking junk/spam folders) please contact Pearson VUE Customer Services.

Delays to account registration will not be accepted as a mitigating circumstance for missing the booking deadline.
CREATE A UCAT ACCOUNT (OPENS 16 MAY)

Prior to Booking a Test
Apply for a Bursary (if applicable)
UK candidates in financial need can apply for a UCAT Bursary to cover the full test fee. Once your Bursary Application is approved you will be given a voucher code to use when booking your test.
Apply for Access Arrangements (if applicable)
Candidates entitled to extra test time, rest breaks or special accommodations must have their Access Arrangements application approved by the UCAT Office before booking their test.
Read the Fit to Test Policy
Our 'fit to test' policy means if a candidate attends their test, they are declaring themselves fit to take the test. Further details can be found on the Test Day page.

Step Two - Book a Test from 20 June

You should book your test through your UCAT Account.

You are strongly recommended to book a test date early in the test cycle. If you choose to book a late test date and then encounter illness or other issues which prevent you from attending your test appointment you may not be able to reschedule within the test period.

Do I need a Private Access Code (PAC)?

You do not need a Private Access Code (PAC) to book the standard UCAT. These codes are only issued to candidates approved to sit an extended test or the online proctored UCAT.

Once you have successfully booked a test, you will be sent a confirmation email that includes important details about your appointment. Please keep this email safe.

It is your responsibility to ensure your booking is made successfully in advance of the booking deadline of 21 September 2023 (12 noon BST). Claims of mitigating circumstances or technical errors affecting your ability to book by the deadline will not be accepted.
