Universities use the UCAT to help rank applicants. The test is an incredibly important part of the medical school application process so it is wise to prepare effectively for it.
The UCAT tutors we represent can help applicants focus on topics they find most challenging. They can cover verbal reasoning, decision making, quantitative reasoning and abstract reasoning. They can also help in improving awareness of the issues in medical and personal ethics that inform the Situational Judgement section of the test. They will work on practicing and improving an applicants reasoning and decision making skills which are needed for each of the individual sections of the test.
Practice questions and marking criteria will be used extensively to get students familiar with the question format. All tutoring is tailored to the individual needs of each child based on their strengths, weaknesses, learning style and the entrance procedures of the medical course they are applying to.

During the first session the tutor starts by assessing where the child is at, their academic ability, their strengths and perceived weaknesses. Tutors will then devise a programme tailored to the specific circumstances of the student and your target course.
