Free UCAT ® Study Plan

A good free UCAT ® prep plan balances all four subtests — Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning, and Situational Judgement — rather than over-focusing on one area. Our tutors contributed subtest-specific scheduling for 2-month and 3-month timelines so topics complement each other and build toward timed practice.

Download the study plan from the Documents tab when you sign up for the Free Study Guide. For how long to prepare overall, see our how to prepare for UCAT ® guide.

Official Free UCAT ® ANZ Practice Materials

The UCAT ANZ Consortium publishes free official question banks, tutorials, and full-length practice tests that match the live four-subtest format. We recommend starting here for test-accurate timing and question styles, then layering GradReady's free UCAT ® prep tools and subtest guides on top.

UCAT ® ANZ official practice tests and question banks — free from the Consortium.

Free Subtest Preparation Guides

Each of the four current UCAT ® subtests has a dedicated guide with question types, timing, strategy, and practice tips. Abstract Reasoning is no longer examined — if older resources still list five scored sections, treat Abstract Reasoning as historical only.
