Students must sit the UCAT, and CASPER, attend an interview if invited, and meet ATAR requirements for admission into Curtin University Medicine 2026. The test is a 14-scenario open-ended response test that requires students to type and record their responses directly into the test portal under strictly timed conditions. It is a fast-paced online test that requires skill, attention to detail, and a thorough understanding of the requirements needed to answer situational judgment questions effectively under pressure. One-to-one training in the Casper test will provide an opportunity for students to practice with a trainer to further improve their ability to respond effectively in typed and recorded responses. The 2-hour sessions will include an outline and practice of the different question types, the format of the test, attention to the "on-camera" requirements, and individual feedback as the student practices the questions. ## [University Applications](https://www.nie.edu.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=215:university-applications&catid=8) Live Online Medical Admissions Workshop # How to Successfully Apply for Medicine in Australia, New Zealand and the UK A practical and interactive session for students and families seeking clear guidance through the medical school application process.
