How to prepare for the UCAT

Candidates should use these free, official UCAT preparation materials to support their test preparation.

We advise candidates to be cautious about using resources from any commercial providers, as these are not affiliated with UCAT in any way. Read our statement on commercial preparation materials here.

You can read helpful advice from past test-takers on our Candidate Advice page where some of our highest-scoring candidates from previous years share their tips on how they prepared for the test.
