University Clinical Aptitude Test for Australia and New Zealand (º£½Ç´óÉñ)
The University Clinical Aptitude Test (º£½Ç´óÉñ) is an admissions test used by the º£½Ç´óÉñ Consortium of universities in Australia and New Zealand for their medical, dental and clinical science degree programmes.
The test helps universities to select applicants with the most appropriate abilities and professional behaviours required for new doctors and dentists to be successful in their clinical careers. It is used in collaboration with other admissions processes such as interviews and academic qualifications.
It is also an opportunity to stand out from other applicants and demonstrate aptitude for a demanding programme of study.
The º£½Ç´óÉñ is a computer-based test delivered in Pearson VUE test centres throughout Australia, New Zealand and worldwide.
Please note that some pathways to medicine / dentistry / clinical sciences will not require the º£½Ç´óÉñ. For some applicants a different test may be required. For details candidates should refer to the websites of the universities to which they intend to apply.
