Preparation Advice and Resources

The UCAT ANZ 2024 test cycle is complete.
Information about UCAT ANZ 2025 will be published by December 2024. 

We advise you to prepare for the UCAT ANZ using these free official practice materials which have been developed by the UCAT Consortium. We believe that all candidates should have access to free preparation materials to support their test preparation. The Question Banks and Practice Tests are produced by the UCAT Consortium and are representative of the live test. 

Candidates should be aware that while there are many commercial companies offering coaching courses and materials for the test, the UCAT ANZ Consortium does not work with any of these companies or endorse the use of their materials. We strongly advise candidates to use the free official practice materials on our website and to be cautious about using materials and courses from other providers. For more information, please read the information under Prepare

We recommend you start by viewing the Preparation Plan to create a personalised study plan.  

UCAT ANZ Preparation Plan

The UCAT ANZ Preparation Plan video provides a suggested approach and timetable for preparing for your test.

We recommend you begin your preparation with the Tour Tutorial and Question Tutorials before moving on to the Question Banks, and finally progress to the timed Practice Tests.
