The UK Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT) is a test used in the assessment and selection process by a consortium of UK university Medical and Dental Schools. The test helps universities to make more informed choices from the many highly-qualified applicants who apply for their medical and dental degree programmes each year. Using a standardised test such as the UKCAT ensures that the candidates selected have the most appropriate mental abilities, attitudes and professional behaviour required for new doctors and dentists to be successful in their clinical careers.
