UCAT test centres: find one and book

You sit the UCAT on a computer at a Pearson VUE test centre. There are centres across the UK and in 130+ countries. You book a centre, date and time through your UCAT account, not by calling a centre.

How booking works

  • Register for a UCAT account.
  • Book a centre, date and time when booking opens.
  • Keep the confirmation email: the booking is not made without it.

For the 2026 test, booking opened on 23 June and closed on 16 September at 15:00 UK time. UCAT publishes the 2027 instructions in March 2027.

No slots at your centre

  • Try other dates, times and nearby centres.
  • Check again later: slots free up when others cancel or move.
  • Book as early as you can.

Every date: UCAT 2027 dates and registration
