Test

Special UCAS Assessments

An increasing proportion of universities and courses require their applicants to undergo special aptitude tests in order to identify the strongest candidates. We recognise the importance of these tests to the university admissions process and thus offer specialist tuition and intensive assistance to help our students succeed in these increasingly important examinations.

The BMAT exam is comprised of three sections to be completed in two hours:

  • Section 1 –Aptitude and Skills: 35 MCQs, 60 Minutes, Maximum Score: 9.0
  • Section 2 –Scientific Knowledge and Applications: 27 MCQs, 30 Minutes, Maximum Score: 9.0
  • Section 3 –Writing Task: 1 Essay out of a choice of 3, Maximum Score: 5A


The BMAT examination is unlike any which students would have faced to date. It requires extensive preparation and specialist training. At BlackStone Tutors, we have a large data-bank of past papers and resources for Sections 1 and 2, in order to better equip our students. Furthermore, our tutors offer explanations for the past paper answers which ensure students have a better all-round understanding so that they are not deceived by marginally adapted questions in their examinations. Section 3 often proves the most difficult for students, with the emphasis being on balanced arguments and reasoned thought rather than knowledge of scientific facts. Our tutors offer specific guidance and tips on exam technique including how to formulate a well structured and balanced essay as well as how to decide which points are most pertinent to include and how best to order these points.

BMAT Testimonials:
‘The course was excellent, really well organised. Husain and the rest of the facilitators were great on the day and very helpful after the event as well. Thanks for marking all my practice essays!’
Thomas Colsaerts

‘Definitely the best tutors in London. Went to both the UKCAT and BMAT courses, and have to say I was thoroughly impressed. Also went to the coma bmat course where the teaching was in much larger groups. The only downside of the Blackstone course was having to travel two hours each way from Birmingham to London – well worth it in the end. Thanks for everything.’
Anisha Mehta

The UCAT examination assesses an individual’s aptitude, focusing on the rational and cognitive powers of students. As such, it is often described as an exam which “cannot be revised for”. Additionally, with questions not having a scientific focus, prospective medicine and dentistry students often find it a challenging and frustrating examination. However, as has been proven by our past success, taking students through past paper questions and providing them with reasoning of the answers has significantly improved the scores of our students. Moreover, our tutors aim to best prepare students so that they can more effectively manage their time in the examination, a vital component to succeed, and one which is often overlooked.
