Free app to test ‘on-the-go’

Developed by Pearson VUE on behalf of the UK Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT) Consortium, the body which runs the UKCAT on behalf of 26 universities, the Official UKCAT Practice app allows applicants to test ‘on-the-go’.

The app includes new questions – which have been adapted for mobile – of the Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Abstract Reasoning, Decision Analysis and Situational Judgement subtests. At the end of each practice session, candidates can review their answers along with a rationale explaining the correct response. Adding a fun and competitive element, candidates are scored and can share their results with friends on Facebook and Twitter.

Rachel Greatrix, chief operating Officer, UKCAT Consortium, said: “The Official UKCAT Practice App is a significant step forward in the Consortium’s commitment to harnessing new digital platforms to aid candidate preparation. It gives candidates an accessible and fun tool to improve their state of readiness for taking the test.”
