The relevant UK test is UCAT 2026. It covers Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning and Situational Judgement, with no choice of modules. UCAT course directory (accessed 2026-09-24); official format (research accessed 2026-09-23).

FAQ provenance: questions are adapted from observed searches retained in the UCAT research dossier: entry-year dates, scores for medicine, and practice tests (research accessed 2026-09-23). These are adapted questions, not verbatim university FAQs.

Preparation advice (editorial): For Verbal Reasoning, mark the sentence that supports each answer before adding time pressure. For Decision Making, separate stated facts from assumptions. In Quantitative Reasoning, practise unit changes and calculator entry separately before attempting timed sets. Track reading mistakes separately from timing mistakes.
