BMAT Tutors

Many of the tutors that are represented by Owl Tutors are able to provide tuition for students looking to prepare for the BioMedical Admissions Test (BMAT). These tutors are all qualified teachers who have experience in assisting students with their applications for university medical courses.

What is the BMAT?

The Biomedical Admissions Test (BMAT) is a standardised aptitude test used as a part of the admission process for some universities in the UK, Spain, and other countries to study medicine, veterinary science, and related subjects. The test assesses a candidate’s skills in problem-solving, scientific knowledge, and understanding of mathematical concepts and is usually taken in late September or early November of each year. BMAT scores are used along with other factors, such as academic transcripts and interview performance, to evaluate a candidate’s suitability for a program.

What is the difference between BMAT and UCAT?

BMAT (BioMedical Admissions Test) and UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test) are two different assesments that are used for admission to medical schools in several countries. BMAT is specifically designed for admission to medical and related courses, while UCAT has a focus on assessing cognitive abilities and personality traits that are vital for a career in the health sector. BMAT includes sections on scientific knowledge and applications, critical thinking, and writing skills, while UCAT includes sections on verbal reasoning, decision making, quantitative reasoning, and situational judgement.

Is BMAT harder than UCAT?

Comparing the difficulty level of BMAT and UCAT is difficult as they serve different functions and therefore  have different formats and focus on different skills and abilities. The BMAT measures scientific knowledge, critical thinking and writing skills, which may be challenging for students that find it difficult to commit large quantities of information to memory. On the other hand, UCAT assesses cognitive abilities, such as verbal reasoning, decision making, and quantitative reasoning, which may be difficult for those who struggle with logical reasoning. The level to which these tests are more or less diffcult for you will depend on your particular strengths and weaknesses.
