Post by: angrybiscuit on December 26, 2019, 04:51:18 pm
Is the UKCAT the same as Australia's UCAT? Or Is it similar?

Hello!

Yes, they are the same. The only difference between the UKCAT and the UCAT is that there is no 'K' in UCAT. UKCAT preparation material can be used to prepare for the UCAT. :)

All the best.

They are the same which is why I recommend UK-based prep companies (Medify, Kaplan, etc.) over Australian companies (MedEntry, iCanMed ...)

The UK has had the test for over a decade whereas it was only introduced to Australia in 2019 :)

Awesome! Thanks guys! Was going to get Kaplan and other UKCAT resources but was scared it would be different.

Agree with this. There are also very cheap and accessible UKCAT practice books you can buy online.
