The UK Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT) is a test used in the selection process by a consortium of UK University Medical and Dental Schools. It is run by the UKCAT Consortium, in partnership with Pearson VUE and can be taken at any participating Pearson VUE facility.

The UKCAT assesses a range of mental abilities that have been identified by university medical and dental schools as important. There is no curriculum content as the test examines innate skills. Each subtest is in a multiple-choice format and is separately timed.

The UKCAT will consists of:

Verbal Reasoning: Assesses the ability to critically evaluate information that is presented in a written form

Decision Making:  Assesses the ability to make sound decisions and judgments using complex information

Quantitative Reasoning: Assesses the ability to critically evaluate information presented in a numerical form

Abstract Reasoning: Assesses the use of convergent and divergent thinking to infer relationships from information

Situational Judgment: Measures the capacity to understand real world situations and to identify critical factors and appropriate behavior in dealing with them
