They then focus on practising questions, identifying weaknesses and study techniques. Students are also given revision packs to take home for further practice.

The BMAT course covers the full range of aptitudes and skills required to take the test, as well as the Key Stage 4 Core Science and Higher Mathematics needed for the scientific knowledge and applications part of the test. Through intensive question practice students build confidence and learn valuable test-taking skills. Students are also given revision packs to take home for further practice.

The BMAT test can be taken at Albemarle on Wednesday 4th November, whereas the LNAT and UKCAT tests must be taken at Pearson VUE High Street centres (see websites for dates and to register).
