UCAT Date
Attention Year 11 and 12 (in AUS) or 13 (in NZ) and University Students
Are you in Year 11 or 12? You need to be well into your UCAT-preparation...Early UCAT preparation is highly recommended. You will be eligible to sit the UCAT when you are in Year 12 (in Australia), or Year 13 (in New Zealand). Postgraduate and university students are also eligible to sit the UCAT. Being UCAT-ready means being well-informed about the test, consistently practising UCAT-style questions and full practice tests over a longer period of time as opposed to leaving it until the time when you will need to devote your full attention to the Year 12 studies (13 in NZ, or university mid-year exams).
