im currently in year 12 and hoping to apply for medicine this year (october 2012). I was just wondering when can you apply to do the UKCAT OR BMAT exams? and can you resit?
UKCAT you can apply for as early as this summer and you choose the date you take it, as you apply independently. BMAT, you register through your school, around September time, and it is taken on the 2nd of November.
You can't resist either. I'd start preparing now if I were you, or as soon as summer starts, as they are hard!
If you're school is not used to medical applications, make sure they register themselves for the BMAT. I had to do a fair amount of chasing to make sure they offered it.

The rest are right about May for UKCAT and Sep for BMAT. As for resits not within the same year but each year you have to do them again if you're reapplying to universities that require it.
Hey all sorry to revive this thread. Basically I am in year 13 and I am hoping to take a Gap year and apply to medicine with my A level grades in hand (if i get AAA).
I was hoping to apply to a BMAT university but I know it is really hard, but can you possible prepare for it, would it improve your chances of doing well. Or is it solely down to how 'smart' you are? thanks

Yeah you would need to prepare for BMAT as it has a section with questions based on your scientific knowledge (Biology, Chemistry, Physics AND maths). And to be honest you need to practise the timing any way
I have a question as well... I am going to take BMAT and UKCAT this year and might need some extra help...does anybody know if there are any separate preparation courses for the UKCAT and the BMAT???
