Intensive UCAT Preparation Workshop (Live online interactive / More dates available)

When: 21 December 2024

Includes an online "Part 2' follow-up session with parents.

View details

The NIE UCAT intensive training workshop is also beneficial for Year 9, 10 and 11 students who are considering sitting UCAT. 

The ideal approach to preparing for the UCAT is to start low-frequency and high-consistency preparation in the early stages of senior high school years. While you can and will have to still spend some time preparing during Year 12, it would be much better if the bulk of your preparation had been completed prior to the start of the busy Year 12 schedule. This way, you would only need to spend 1-2 hours per week practising to maintain your UCAT pace, rather than spending more time on the UCAT preparation and stressing about the Year 12 work. Therefore, we recommend that you officially start your UCAT training by participating in our full-day intensive UCAT preparation workshop, or you can also view a range of complete UCAT Preparation Courses offered through NIE.
