UCAT June 2020 Update

Like you, we've been awaiting new and guidance from UCAT all this time. Today; 1st June 2020, UCAT Consortium have published their initial advice and guidance regarding the forthcoming UCAT examination; format and dates.

The 2020 UCAT test can be sat in two formats; Online Proctoring where the candidate can sit the exam from home and of course, the usual method of attending at a Pearson Vue Test centre in person.

The UCAT test can be sat by both UK and International like previous years, the Online Proctoring method will of course be popular for international and local students whom cannot and would not wish to travel for personal and regional reasons.

The UCAT test registrations begin on 1st July 2020 and actual sittings can be had from 3rd August to 1st October 2020. Tests will still be completed prior to the UCAS submissions deadline of 15th October 2020.

Due to the uncertainty caused by COVID, we advise you book your test date as early as you can. Also due to social distancing, the number of students permitted to sit at any one time may be limited.

Regardless of how students sit the test, the content will be same regardless of the method in which the test is taken. Artificial Intelligence and Live monitoring methods will allow UCAS to ensure home based students have no more advantage than students sitting the test via Test centres.

UCAS intends to publish more detailed guidance in the next few weeks, watch out for this on their website. We will publish summary guidance also as soon as we can.

In all this, one should bear in mind the ever changing and fluid nature of what is going on with COVID19 and as such guidance can change at any time, we advise regular review of our website and of course the UCAS website.
