This is a great way to get an initial practice to get a feel for the questions, the timing, the topics, the difficulty and the actual platform . In this resource we’ll put you through the same experience you would have with the real exam. If you find yourself struggling with the content or the timing, you can check out our weekend UCATCourses in 18 locations in the UK throughout the summer or our UCATSelf-studyCourse with a full interactive software and 5 workbooks that you can do from the comfort of your home.

UCAT Course package

UCAT Courses

Everyone has been telling you the UCAT exam (previously UKCAT) is a big deal. You’ve done the research, and now YOU think it’s a big deal, so you’re worried. The truth is everyone is right: the University Clinical Aptitude Test  is a big deal for medical applicants. Before you panic and put all the pressure on yourself, we have some good news: we can get rid of those nervous jitters and make sure you’re ready to ace the UCAT (UKCAT) - all we need is a weekend of your time!

theMSAG UCAT Course is a 2-day weekend classroom course from 10-17:00, held in 18 different locations across the UK from June to September. We’ll teach you how to prepare for the UCAT exam, what to study and what you’ll need for your application. This course also includes interactive study at home material (so you can stay sharp) and an hour of private tutoring to make sure all your questions are answered. 

When to start preparing for the UCAT? Ideally, you can take our course up to one year before your medical school application or the exam. Although we offer course dates all the way up to the exam date, earlier is better so you have some extra time to use all the material when you get home. And if you feel like you need a refresher closer to the exam date or if you don’t feel quite ready, you come back and attend a second time free of charge.

What we offer

• Key information: structure, timing and scoring well
• Interactive, small group teaching sessions
• Comprehensive tutoring covering each section of the UCAT (Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning, Abstract Reasoning and Situational Judgement)
• Keypad to answer UCAT/UKCAT practice questions with during the course.
• Full UCAT exam practice using our custom built online built platform, with results and tailored advice to help you improve your UCAT score
• Personalised advice about developing your weak areas and when you should sit the exam - you get an assessment sent to you after the course
• A selection of drinks and refreshments throughout the day to keep you alert!

Extras included

• 1000 UCAT questions to practice the skills and techniques you acquire on our course
• 30 hours interactive e-learning UCAT course to keep learning tips and techniques on the move 
• 1 hour free UCAT tutoring with one of our expert tutors to focus on any particular area that you’re struggling with (via online video call) 
• Post-course support through a private Facebook group that you will be given access to, where you can ask questions, discuss concerns and interact with students and tutors.
• Come back to the course free of charge if you need to 

UCAT Course + e-Learning + 1 hr Tutoring

*Kaplan tutoring cost per hour is based on average over 10 sessions
*Medic Portal course is 1 day vs 2 days for theMSAG and Kaplan
*Medic Portal online learning is for 6 weeks vs until October UCAS deadline for theMSAG and Kaplan

Why choose our 2-day UCAT course over a 1-day course? 

To get you as prepared as possible, we cover a lot of content. That means we need more time. We’ve found 2 days is perfect for letting all that information sink in. We give you a chance to apply the knowledge from day 1 with a full mock exam on day 2. 2 days also gives you more time to spend with our tutors, so we can make sure all your questions are answered. Dr Jiva tells us how she designed theMSAG UCAT course, having taken a close look at other competitor's UCAT courses in this blog.

Each one will help you work on a specific section of the exam, with a summary of all the key strategies at hand, all the practice questions worked through the UCAT React lessons and extra practice drills to get you comfortable answering so you can practice every question type.

UCAT Practice Test

2 full-length practice test help you solidify your knowledge under timed conditions, using software that looks and feels exactly like the real UCAT exam. We believe students get tricked by answering questions fast on paper or on a particular website, but once they are in the real exam, they are unfamiliar with the online UCAT calculator, the online navigation, flagging system etc. and everything takes longer. Our software looks and works like the real deal, so you get no surprises on your exam day, with questions that look exactly like the REAL UCAT test. This means you’ll be familiar with all the buttons, placement and weird calculator before the big day. No surprises!

UCAT Tutoring overview

There are a few key components to medicine applications. In the UK (and now in Australia and New Zealand, courtesy of the UCAT Consortium) before you even get to the personal statement or interview stages, you have to go through a mandatory entrance exam. While challenging, theMSAG has extensive experience and offers courses and tutoring to help you ace the UCAT! 

When you sit down for our one-to-one sessions, you’re sitting down with our team of doctors and medical students with over three years of experience in tutoring for the University Clinical Aptitude Test. 

The average UCAT exam score across our team is over 700. Using this experience, your MSAG guide will quickly identify the areas and subsections of the test in which you’ll need the most help. Then, we’re able to focus on those difficult, problematic areas and teach you techniques to improve your speed as well as strategies to ensure that you choose the correct answer. 

Everyone is different. theMSAG Tutors will tailor your sessions towards your level of ability and preparation. For example, if you are starting your preparation from scratch, we would recommend an intense 3-month programme, including 12 two-hour sessions. Maybe you only need one month. We’ll work with you to figure out which UCATpreparation plan is best for you. 

Each session is at least one hour and more sessions can be booked until you’re completely satisfied. We recommend this for students who are struggling to grasp the strategy, timing or technique for answering exam questions, or need more than just an online course. It gives you a chance to voice any questions or concerns directly to one of our senior reviewers. We’ll make sure when the time comes, the UCAT/UKCAT test isn’t a barrier between you and your medical school of choice
