Still got questions?
Don’t worry, we’ve got
you covered.
→What is the BMAT?
The BMAT stands for the Biomedical Admissions Test. It is an exam which is used for medical, dental and veterinary school in the UK and abroad. It is used by the following UK Medical Schools: Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, Imperial, Brighton & Sussex, Leeds and Lancaster.
→How many BMAT Past Papers are there?
In total, there are over 16 years of BMAT Past Papers as well as the specimen paper so that makes 17 BMAT Past Papers! That should give you lots of free BMAT preparation materials and free BMAT questions.
→How hard is the BMAT Exam?
No one can deny that the BMAT is a tricky exam however preparing well and using the right BMAT resources e.g. the Official BMAT Past Papers can put you in good stead to do well in the exam.
→What is a good BMAT score?
It's difficult to say as it varies year on year but we usually say you should aim for a score of above 5.7 in Section 1, 5.5 in Section 2 and 3A in Section 3. This tends to be above the threshold for most universities.
→What is in the BMAT Test?
The BMAT Test has 3 sections. Section 1 is made up of problem solving and critical thinking (data analysis no longer tested from 2020). Section 2 contains questions based on GCSE Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Physics. BMAT Section 3 is a scientific essay you have to write on an A4 page.
→When should I start preparing for BMAT?
You should aim to start preparing for BMAT at least 8 weeks beforehand. You should aim to do 2 to 3 hours a week for the first 3 weeks and then increase to 6 to 7 hours a week. This means if you are doing the BMAT in November, you should start in September and if you are doing the BMAT in September you should start in July.
→Is BMAT harder than UCAT?
The BMAT is very different to the UCAT but that doesn't mean it is harder. If you like essay writing, science or problem solving then BMAT is the exam for you. Otherwise, most people tend to find the UCAT easier.
→How long should you revise for BMAT?
You should revise for BMAT at least 2 to 3 times a week for up to 8 weeks to get the best possible preparation. It can be hard if you have school work too, but try and find some time to do some BMAT Past Papers, watch free BMAT videos on YouTube and kickstart your BMAT preparation.
→Do you take the BMAT in Year 12 or Year 13?
The BMAT usually takes place in Year 13 however if you're keen and want to get a trial run you can sit it in Year 12 and then sit it again in Year 13 to give you a flavour of the exam a year before.
→Where can I access free BMAT Questions?
For the BMAT, thankfully there are many free BMAT questions floating around! The free official BMAT past papers should be your main BMAT question resource. On this page we have free BMAT past paper explanations, which is helpful as the BMAT consortium sadly don't provide answer explanations. We've also compiled the free BMAT official questions by topic, so you can address each common S2 BMAT question type one by one.
→Where can I access free BMAT resources?
On our YouTube channel we've uploaded some free BMAT videos and a free mini BMAT course! On this web page, we have lots of free BMAT questions too.
