BMAT Preparation Course
In early September before A-level teaching commences those students applying to one or more of the above medical schools, usually in addition to preparing for UCAT, participate in a BMAT preparation course. The course covers the full range of aptitudes and skills required to take the test, as well as the Key Stage 4 Core Science and Higher Mathematics needed for the scientific knowledge and applications part of the test. Through syllabus revision and intensive question practice, students build confidence and learn valuable test-taking skills. Students are also given revision packs to take home for further practice. There are usually two exam sittings of BMAT for entrance to UK universities. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, BMAT – September will not go ahead in 2021. This leaves 3rd November as the only date that the test can be taken.
