Free UCAT Practice Tool (Beta) - All Four Subtests

Free UCAT practice that actually builds skill

This tool drills all four UCAT ANZ subtests with instant scoring and a breakdown by question type, so you can see exactly where you are strong and where you are leaking marks. It is completely free while in beta. Here is an honest, practical guide to the UCAT and how to train for it.

What the UCAT tests in 2026

The UCAT ANZ is a roughly two-hour, computer-based admissions test used by most Australian and New Zealand undergraduate medicine and dentistry programs. Since 2025 it has four subtests (Abstract Reasoning was removed):

Verbal Reasoning reads dense passages quickly and judges what the text does and does not support. The trap is reading in your own assumptions.
Decision Making covers logic puzzles, syllogisms, probability and interpreting tables and diagrams to reach a defensible conclusion.
Quantitative Reasoning is applied arithmetic: percentages, ratios, rates and unit conversions under heavy time pressure. The maths is school level; the speed is not.
Situational Judgement tests professional judgement about integrity, patient safety and working in a team. It can be prepared for, despite what people say.

The three cognitive subtests each score 300–900, giving a combined score of 900–2700. UCAT ANZ Situational Judgement is scored separately from 300–900, not in UK-style bands. Compare results with the relevant test-year percentiles and each university’s selection policy; a published minimum is not an offer guarantee. UCAT ANZ format and scoring.

How to practise each subtest

Verbal Reasoning: stop reading every word. Skim for the structure, then scan for the keyword in the question. On true/false/can't tell items, "can't tell" means the passage gives no basis either way, not that the statement feels uncertain.
Decision Making: get the information out of your head and onto the noteboard. Sketch the puzzle, eliminate impossible options, and learn the handful of probability and Venn rules that recur.
Quantitative Reasoning: build mental arithmetic and estimation so you rarely need the slow on-screen calculator. Convert units carefully and sanity-check the order of magnitude of every answer.
Situational Judgement: put patient safety and honesty first, avoid extreme actions, and watch the exact wording: "appropriate" and "important" are different questions and need different reasoning.

Common UCAT mistakes to avoid

Sinking three minutes into one hard item. Every question is worth the same single mark, so flag it, guess, and move on.

Over-reading Verbal Reasoning passages instead of hunting for the specific claim the question is testing.

Practising without a clock. Untimed accuracy is necessary first, but the UCAT is ultimately won on speed.

Skipping Situational Judgement because it "can't be studied". Learning the principles examiners reward reliably moves your band.

A simple way to use this tool

Drill one subtest at a time first to build accuracy, then switch to a mixed set.
Read the worked explanation on every question, including the ones you got right.
Once your accuracy is solid, add the clock and push your pace until it holds up under time.

UCAT practice FAQ

Is this UCAT practice tool really free?

Yes. It is free while in beta, with no account required and no paywall on the questions. I am building it in the open, so expect the odd rough edge.

How many questions are there?

There are 164 original questions across Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning and Situational Judgement, written to genuine UCAT difficulty with dense passages, data tables and charts, multi-step reasoning and Decision Making "yes/no" drawing-conclusions sets. The bank keeps growing.

Are these real UCAT questions?

No. Every question is original, written to mirror the style and reasoning of the UCAT ANZ. Nothing is copied from the official test or any provider.

Does the UCAT still have Abstract Reasoning?

No. Abstract Reasoning was removed, so the UCAT ANZ now has four subtests: Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning and Situational Judgement.

How is the UCAT scored?

After the UCAT

Your UCAT score gets you the interview. The interview decides the offer.

If you are sitting the UCAT this cycle, interview invitations land between September and December, and most people start preparing far too late. Key2MD's MMI tool marks every spoken answer against the six Key2MD practice criteria. Your first AI-marked station is free, no card needed.
