Wellbeing when sitting the UCAT

Sitting admissions tests and applying for university can feel stressful. If you are struggling to cope, there is support available. This page signposts you to useful advice for various situations. 

In the first instance, you could speak to those around you such as your teachers/advisers or supportive family and friends.

If you need urgent mental health support, and you live in the UK, call NHS 111 and select option 2. For an immediate, life-threatening emergency dial 999 or go to A&E. 
 
Alternatively, the following helplines are open 24/7:
