• UK Clinical Aptitude Test

  The UK Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT) is a test that is beginning to be used in the selection process by a consortium of UK university Medical and Dental Schools. It is run by the UKCAT Consortium in partnership with Pearson VUE. It was first introduced in 2006, and will remain in test mode for some years beyond this date.

  The test is designed to give information on the candidates' mental abilities, as well as attitudes and possible professional behaviour. The test is expected to start helping universities make more informed choices between medical and dental applicants in the years to come, once the test has been fully validated.

• Graduate Australian Medical School Admissions Test

  The Graduate Australian Medical School Admissions Test (more commonly known as the GAMSAT) is a test used to select candidates applying to study medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and veterinary science at Australian, British, and Irish universities for admission to their Graduate Entry Programmes (candidates must have a recognised Bachelor degree, or equivalent, completed prior to commencement of the degree).

  Gamsat results are issued as a percentile ranks, rather than a marks out of a total mark.

  Sitting the GAMSAT is a separate process to applying to study medicine.

  Most universities with graduate-entry medical programs require:

  • Completion of any Bachelor degree (this includes non-science related degrees e.g. arts, law)
  • Obtaining a prerequisite GAMSAT cut-off score
  • Achieving a prerequisite GPA - Grade Point Average, or Class of Honours, based on marks from the Bachelor degree

  Once a candidate has fulfilled these criteria, they may then apply to universities offering a medicine/dentistry/veterinary science course. If the GAMSAT and GPA scores, or GAMSAT and Degree Class, of the candidate are of sufficient calibre, the candidate may be invited to attend an interview at one or more of the universities to which they applied, based on priority laid out in the student's application. This interview is conducted by established medical practitioners, education professionals and community leaders/members, and aims to elucidate the candidate's personal qualities, ethics, verbal reasoning skills, and motivation to study medicine at their university. If successful at this interview (as one half to two thirds of candidates are), then the candidate may be offered a place on their chosen course at the university.
