16 Lancaster University Leeds University Keele Oxford University Cambridge University University College, London Imperial College, London Brighton & Sussex Medical School

17 What does the BMAT involve? The BioMedicalAdmissions Test (BMAT) is a subject-specific admissions test for applicants to medicine, veterinary medicine and similar courses at universities. BMAT is a 2-hour, pen-and-paper test divided into three sections. It does not require a lot of extra study as it is a test of skills and knowledge that learners are expected to have already. BMAT is divided into three sections: 1.Aptitude and Skills. 2.Scientific Knowledge and Applications. 3.Writing Task. Anyone offering a paid service to help you prepare for BMAT will have no more knowledge than someone who has read this website and studied past papers. So while a test-taker s performance at any test will improve with some familiarisation or practice, we would not advise anyone to pay for such help.

18 Extra help? Anyone offering a paid service to help you prepare for BMAT will have no more knowledge than someone who has read the website and studied past papers. So while a test-taker s performance at any test will improve with some familiarisation or practice, we would not advise anyone to pay for such help.

19 How should students prepare?

20 Admissions test tips (UKCAT and BMAT) hours preparation Familiarise yourself with the question types Practice under timed conditions Use the official website guide and the other links provided Practise your mathematical skills for the quantitative reasoning skills in particular Use books relevant to the test for strategies and additional practice questions Get help from your teachers

21 How important are the admissions tests? Some universities attach great importance to the score Most universities consider the total score Some have a cut-off score in particular subtests Some look at a minimum score for each subtest Universities usually indicate on their website previous threshold scores Universities may consider academic achievement, personal statements and interview performance in conjunction with UKCAT/BMAT score UKCAT/BMAT scores may be used if candidates are difficult to separate in their ranking

26 Other options Is medicine right for me?

27 What are Cambridge, Oxford & Imperial looking for?

28 What are Cambridge, Oxford & Imperial looking for? A deep & connected understanding of the fundamentals of Science A Cambridge Medicine interview will focus almost entirely on your scientific aptitude... And don t assume that questions will just focus on Biology and Chemistry one of my interviews was almost entirely Statistics-based. You need to understand school science and mathematics as a logical connected system for explaining life and the universe. But how are they going to test such an understanding?

29 What are Cambridge, Oxford & Imperial looking for? An ability to solve novel problems in logical & lateral ways The more questions you answer correctly, the more difficult they will become Your interviewer will want to see how you tackle a difficult scientific problem. They ll ask you about topics you ve never thought about before What s pus made of? and Why don t poisoned monkeys kill the people who eat them? But how are you going to develop this kind of understanding?

30 What are Cambridge, Oxford & Imperial looking for? A strong & genuine passion for Science Interviewers are most impressed by students who show a genuine enthusiasm for their subject. If you are truly fascinated by topics such as The complexity of life, the future of medical technology etc. then you will naturally develop the deep and connected understanding that you need. You also need to be a resilient problem-solver. So, is there anything else?

31 What are Cambridge, Oxford & Imperial looking for? Multi-skilled applicants with more than just the top grades Everyone at my college could have ditched medicine and become professional musicians / sports people / artists in an instant. Studying really hard just isn t enough. So, in summary, you need to Love Science Understand Science Have other passions & talents Have everything else (top grades, work experience etc.) Does this sound like you?
