UCAT?!
Turns out, my year was the second to last year ever to do UMAT — with 2018’s cohort being the last people to take the UMAT.
This means there is a whole new (but somewhat familiar) beast coming in July 2019 — the UCAT. Whilst I don’t have any insight into this test, because well, I haven’t sat it and I don’t know anyone who has; I think similar principles to UMAT will apply. Don’t take away your time from your core papers studying for UCAT. You will have plenty of time in the mid-year break to prepare if you think that you would benefit from preparing!
I would be interested to hear from you guys taking it in 2019 to see how you find it!
Best of luck!
