The workshop is designed to cover fundamental techniques in navigating all five sections of the UCAT. Students will spend the day with our specialist teachers and will be able to ask questions and address any concerns they may have about the test. Those attending the in-person sessions will also attempt a full 2-hour UCAT style test, which will give them a better insight into their level of preparedness for the actual assessment. Those who will be attending the online version of the workshop will be provided with the practice test, which they have to attempt soon after the workshop day.
The follow-up online session will provide insightful and extremely valuable information about the application process into medicine and guidance for future planning strategies. Finally, we will spend some time to better explain the Medical Interview process as well as providing students with preliminary instructions on how to start preparing for this very important stage of the admission process. This forum will be an opportunity to answer any general questions that students and their parents may have in relation to the pathways into medicine.
