WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW?The UCAT is unlike most exams you may be used to, so it’s useful to understand what to expect on the day of the test. You should ensure you are familiar with the test centre environment before the day by reading the TEST DAY section of our website.

We do not want you to be turned away from the test centre for presenting the incorrect ID. It is essential that you take the correct photographic identification to the test centre, otherwise you will not be permitted to test. Please ensure you have read the PHOTO ID REQUIREMENTS page on our website ahead of time to organise a suitable form of identification.

You must arrive at the test centre at least 30 minutes before your appointment time. Candidates who arrive more than 15 minutes after their appointment time will not be allowed to take the test and will forfeit their test fee. Refer to TEST DAY information on our website.

CONCESSION SCHEMEIf you are named on a current Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, both issued by Centrelink, you can apply for the concession fee. The concession fee is not available to candidates sitting the test outside of Australia.
