The Best UKCAT Teachers
Our teachers have all taken the UKCAT, so they know the test inside out, as well as the pressures of Test Day so they can best advise you about the test. The Kaplan course materials are updated annually so that they take into account any changes introduced by the test makers - this means that our materials are current, and test like.

Timing on the UKCAT is extremely important. To increase your familiarity with UKCAT-style test questions and build your stamina, we offer two full-length UKCAT practice exams during class.

This helps students to answer the maximum number of questions correctly and give them more confidence on test day.

Each section of the UKCAT is scored between 300-900 points, except for the final section for which you receive a brief summary.
