A complete UCAT preparation programme covering all four sub-tests — built around the one thing the UCAT really measures: making good decisions faster than feels comfortable.
The UCAT is not a knowledge test. Nothing on it is beyond what you already know; the difficulty is entirely in the clock. So every session trains a repeatable method for a question type, then drills it under timing until the method survives the pressure — finishing with whole papers at full speed.
What you'll learn
All four sub-tests: Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning and Situational Judgement
A timing strategy for each section — when to commit, when to flag, and when to guess and move on
Verbal Reasoning: True / False / Can't Tell, and the traps hidden in definitive language
Decision Making: syllogisms, Venn diagrams, probabilistic reasoning and logical puzzles
Quantitative Reasoning: fast percentages, ratios, rates and conversions without a calculator
Situational Judgement: the GMC Good Medical Practice framework the answers are scored against
Course curriculum
Five blocks across fifteen 90-minute sessions — one sub-test at a time, then whole papers at full speed.

Frequently asked questions
Applicants to UK medical and dental schools sitting the UCAT — whether you are starting early or only a few weeks from your test date.
No. The UCAT tests aptitude rather than curriculum content, so nothing on it requires prior study of medicine. Situational Judgement is the exception, and we teach the GMC principles it is scored against from scratch.
Fifteen 90-minute tutorials — 22.5 hours in total, three a week over five weeks. Each sub-test is taught and drilled in turn, then the last block runs whole papers under real timing.
Our own question bank organised by sub-test and question type, timed question sets and full mock exams, plus study notes and an error log to track recurring mistakes.
