Concept Practice By skill Targeted skill practice

Practise the question bank skill by skill, from syllogisms to data interpretation to professionalism.

  • 1 full mock test
  • 4 practice tests, one per subtest
  • 19 Concept Practice questions

Concept Practice questions are standalone items rather than papers, so they are not counted in the mock and practice test figures.

Your preparation loop

Practise, diagnose, improve, repeat

Start with one skill, one subtest or a complete mock. Every result points towards the next useful practice session.

  1. Concept Practice

    Target one UCAT skill with focused questions.

  2. Individual Practice Test

    Take any subtest on its own with the official question count and timing.

  3. Complete Mock Test

    Sit all four subtests in order on one continuous clock, as on test day.

  4. Progress report

    Track readiness, subtest performance and accuracy by skill.

  5. Identify Weak Skills

    Find the skill with the weakest recent evidence and practise it next.

Then return to Concept Practice

  • Timed like the real test Official question counts, subtest timings, timed instruction screens and the on-screen calculator where the test offers one, so your pacing carries over to test day.
  • A worked explanation for every question Marked on submission with no negative marking, with a step-by-step explanation behind every answer.
  • Progress by skill See readiness and accuracy by skill in every subtest, then follow the next best action.

Feedback and access

Understand every answer—and what to practise next

Instant marking, a worked explanation for every question, and skill-level evidence across every result.

  • Marking that follows UCAT rules

    Every answer is checked on submission, with no negative marking. Multi-statement Decision Making questions and Situational Judgement answers earn partial credit where they deserve it, and you see the correct answer to every question.

  • A worked explanation for every question

    Each question in the review opens into a step-by-step explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a method you can reuse rather than a number.

  • Skill evidence that leads somewhere

    Track readiness and accuracy by subtest and skill, then use the next best action to choose a Concept Practice set or a timed subtest.

UCAT practice questions, answered

Is the UCAT practice free?

Yes. The full mock, a practice test in every subtest, Concept Practice and worked explanations are all free — sign in with Google and start, no card required.

Is this the UK UCAT or UCAT ANZ?

The UK UCAT: Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning and Situational Judgement, with the UK question counts and timings.

Are the subtests timed like the real test?

Yes. Each subtest uses the official question count and time limit, preceded by its timed instructions, and the complete mock runs all four in order on one continuous clock — 117 minutes 30 seconds in all.

Is there a calculator?

Yes — an on-screen calculator in Decision Making and Quantitative Reasoning, the two subtests that offer one.

Does every question have a worked solution?

Yes. Every question in a practice test or mock opens into a step-by-step worked explanation in the review, alongside the correct answer and the skill it was testing.

Can ExamPrepIQ guarantee a university offer?

No. Medical and dental schools set their own UCAT requirements and use results alongside the rest of an application. ExamPrepIQ is not affiliated with the UCAT Consortium or any university and cannot guarantee any score or admissions outcome.

When is the UCAT and how do I register?

Testing dates, fees and deadlines are set by the UCAT Consortium and change each cycle. See the dated UCAT 2027 guide linked above, which links to the official sources — and always confirm on the official website before booking.
