The UKCAT test: developments, research and its use by dental schools in the U.K.

R McAndrew1, R Greatrix2.   

Abstract

The United Kingdom Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT) has now been an active part of U.K. dental admissions for seven years with the test being used by 11 dental schools within their admissions processes. This paper gives an overview on UKCAT and highlights some of the on-going work in relation to its development. This paper also highlights what UKCAT is and some developments with respect to the UKCAT. It also facilitates the process of keeping dental practitioners informed.
