#  Simulated UCAT Day

####  Strategic and determined students start their UCAT preparation early!

[icon-calendar] Posted: March 14, 2022

**Attention Year 9, 10, 11 and 12 Students**

The National Institute of Education is running their final UCAT workshop to get candidates ready for their upcoming UCAT. This same workshop makes a good starting point for Year 10 and 11 students who are considering a career in medicine or dentistry and will need to sit the UCAT in the future.

**Intensive UCAT Preparation Workshop**

**Live Online Interactive**

**21 December 2024**

This workshop aims to assist students who wish to start or continue with their UCAT preparation and readiness.

**Part 1 is a full-day training** covering the essential UCAT skills and strategies.

**A full practice test** will be mailed to your home address for you to practice, consolidate and extend the exam-taking skills learned during Part 1 of the workshop.

**Part 2** **a '3-hour Follow-up Session'** for students and parents will take place on a separate day. During this session, we will discuss UCAT scores, applications to Medical Schools, and Medical Schools Interviews.

**If you are sitting UCAT in 2025**

If you are sitting UCAT this year, the workshop is a great opportunity to attain some additional strategies and to also assess your readiness by attempting an actual UCAT difficulty level trial test, which you will receive as part of this program.

**If you are in Years 9, 10, 11 or 12**

The NIE UCAT intensive training workshop is also beneficial for Year 9 and 10 students who are considering sitting UCAT in the future.

The ideal approach to preparing for the UCAT is to start low-frequency and high-consistency preparation in the early stages of senior high school years. While you can and will have to still spend some time preparing during Year 12, it would be much better if the bulk of your preparation has been completed prior to the start of the busy Year 12 schedule. This way, you would only need to spend 1-2 hours per week practising to maintain your UCAT pace, rather than spending more time on the UCAT preparation and stressing about the Year 12 work. Therefore, we recommend that you officially start your UCAT training by participating in our full-day intensive UCAT preparation workshop.
