UCAT ANZ Test Format
The UCAT is a two-hour computer-based test which assesses a range of abilities identified by universities as important to practicing in the fields of medicine / dentistry / clinical sciences. The test consists of five separately timed subtests which each contain a number of questions in a multiple-choice format. Once started the test cannot be paused for a break but before each subtest there is a timed instruction section.
Candidates either sit the standard test or apply for an extended version of the test if they are entitled to extra time due to a documented medical condition or disability.
