Important Update: The BMAT is discontinued as of 2024. It has been confirmed that no UK medical school will be using an alternative admissions test, hence the standard UCAT will be required by all universities. For more information, see our guide on How to Prepare for the UCAT.
The BMAT (Biomedical Admissions Test) consists of three sections which must be completed within two hours. The first section, Aptitude and Thinking Skills, is 30 minutes. The second section, Scientific Knowledge & Applications, is 60 minutes, and the final section, the Writing Task, is 30 minutes. If you have special requirements and are granted additional time or access arrangements in other exams, it is likely that you can be granted the same for the BMAT should you request it. You can request access arrangements here.
