Riassunto

The UK Clinical Aptitude Test is now being used by the majority of UK university medical and dental schools to help select their student entrants. The test examines verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, abstract reasoning and problem solving skills. This guide provides no nonsense explanation of the rationale behind the four parts to the test, together with practice questions and answers. The book also presents step-by-step guidance for your application for medicine or dentistry at university. There is an additional section for those required to take the BioMedical Admissions Test (BMAT), which includes a practice test and explanations of the answers.
