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 on 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.

When should I start talking to my students about the UCAT?

Students applying for Medicine or Dentistry for 2027 entry will need to sit the UCAT in the 2026 test cycle.

Use our information presentations to start informing your students about the UCAT around April, so they have plenty of time to prepare for and sit the UCAT before the October UCAS application deadline.

PRESENTATIONS COMING MARCH 2026

How can I help my students prepare for the test?

Direct students to the official resources on the UCAT website. These are the most representative of the live test.

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.
