Information for Neurodivergent Candidates

Introduction

In 2024 a student researcher at the University of Nottingham explored the experience of neurodivergent candidates in preparing for and taking the UCAT. The information below has been developed as an outcome from that research.   

Neurodivergent is not a medical diagnosis, but an umbrella term for a range of conditions including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia and dyspraxia. Neurodivergent candidates may face different challenges to other candidates when preparing for and sitting the UCAT. We hope this information helps signpost candidates to this support. If you have any feedback regarding this content or questions about our advice, please contact ucat@nottingham.ac.uk.
