With the UCAT fast approaching, The National Institute of Education is running a final online workshop to get candidates ready for their upcoming UCAT. This same workshop makes a good starting point for Year 10 and 11 students who are considering a career in medicine or dentistry and will need to sit UCAT in the future.
This workshop consists of the following:
A full day of training covering the essential UCAT skills and strategies.
A full practice will then be mailed to students so they can practice, consolidate, and extend the exam-taking skills learned during Part 1 of the workshop.
A '3-hour Follow-up Session' will follow on a separate day, during which students will have the opportunity to discuss UCAT scores, applications to Medical Schools, and Medical Schools Interviews.
Date: Saturday 13 July
Time: 10.00 am - 5.00 pm
