UCAT tutoring from students who have just sat it

One-to-one and small-group UCAT preparation online, led by a King's College London dental student with a team of current medical and dental students.

What the UCAT tests

The UCAT is the admissions test used by most UK medical and dental schools. It is taken on a computer at a Pearson VUE test centre over the summer before you apply, and it is tightly timed, so technique matters as much as ability.

Lessons cover each subtest: Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning and Situational Judgement. Test dates and format can change each year, so we always check the details against the official UCAT website with you.

How lessons work

We start with a timed diagnostic mock to see where marks are being lost. From there we build a plan up to your test date, with targeted practice on your weakest subtests, timing drills and a review of every full mock you sit.

  • A clear weekly schedule that fits around school
  • Strategies for each question type, not just more questions
  • Full mock reviews to find patterns in your mistakes
  • Advice on choosing universities that suit your score

Who teaches

Sessions are led by Adam, a 5th-year dental student at King's College London, with support from current medical and dental students who have recently been through the UCAT themselves.

Questions families ask

When should I start preparing for the UCAT?

Most students start 6 to 10 weeks before their test date, with steady practice through the summer after Year 12. Starting earlier helps if you want to build up slowly around exams.

Do you run group UCAT courses?

Yes. Small-group courses run in the spring and summer, with at most 8 students so everyone gets feedback. One-to-one sessions can be added for subtests you find hardest.

What score do I need?

It depends on the university and the year, because many schools rank applicants against each other. We'll help you look at each school's published admissions data and choose where to apply with your score.
