Teachers and Advisers

Resource Hub

We are busy updating our resources ahead of 2026 Testing. Please check this page early March 2026

Whether you are a teacher, adviser, admissions officer, parent, or are supporting students in another capacity, our resources have been developed to help you guide students through their UCAT journey.

 

The Essentials

The most up to date information about the UCAT is published our website ahead of each test cycle. This is the best place for candidates to find out everything they need to know about the test.

UCAT Essentials

When should I talk to students about the UCAT?

Students planning to apply for Medicine or Dentistry should be informed by schools around April (before their application) so they have time to prepare for and sit the UCAT during the summer, before the October UCAS application deadline.

Do you run preparation workshops?

We have developed our official workshop series plan to provide a structure for teachers and advisers to run their own UCAT Preparation workshops. We do not endorse any UCAT workshops provided for commercial gain.

Updated preparation workshop plan coming March 2026
