UCAT Masterclass Course For Medicine & Dentistry Applicants

The UCAT Masterclass at Chequers Academy is a one-day, intensive in-person course designed for students applying to medicine or dentistry in the UK. It is led by doctors who scored in the top 1% of applicants and have a proven track record of helping students gain offers from top universities.

The course is structured to reflect the true nature of the UCAT: a high-pressure skills test, not a knowledge-based exam. Our curriculum focuses on developing rapid decision-making, time management, and test-taking strategies—everything you need to beat the clock and secure a top score.

This course combines live teaching, mock exams, real-time feedback, and expert strategy coaching. You will leave with the tools, mindset, and practice framework needed to dramatically increase your score.

We begin by breaking down the UCAT into its five core sections:

•Verbal Reasoning

•Decision Making

•Quantitative Reasoning

•Abstract Reasoning

•Situational Judgement

•How each section is scored

•What high-performing students do differently

•Common traps and how to avoid them

•The psychology of time pressure and how to overcome it

Our doctors will walk you through each section using worked examples, live demonstrations, and insider techniques:

•Verbal Reasoning: Learn how to speed read, triage passages, and eliminate wrong answers efficiently

•Decision Making: Master logic puzzles, probability, and assumption spotting

•Quantitative Reasoning: Use mental maths shortcuts and question filtering

•Abstract Reasoning: Crack pattern recognition using visual triggers and question types

•Situational Judgement: Understand what examiners look for and how to think like a doctor

Throughout the day, you’ll complete:

•Timed mini-mocks for each section

•Instant group debriefs on performance

•Strategic correction sessions to identify your weak points and address them early

This prepares you to perform in real UCAT exam conditions—and gives you a competitive edge.

Success in the UCAT isn’t just about practice—it’s about mindset. You’ll also learn:

•How to build exam-day confidence

•Ways to mentally reset between sections

•Performance psychology techniques from elite sport and test prep

This course is great for:

• Year 12 and 13 students applying for medicine or dentistry
• Anyone taking the UCAT for the first time
• Students who haven’t done well in practice tests and want to improve
• Parents looking for expert help with their child’s application

Whether you’re just getting started or trying to do better, this course is designed to help you get the best score possible.

What makes us different:

• • Trainers are doctors who scored over 800 on the UCAT and know how admissions work
  • Our tips and methods have helped students boost their scores year after year
  • We train students to be fast, accurate, and mentally ready—not just to memorise
  • Practice tests are updated to match the real 2025 UCAT

  The goal isn’t just to pass; instead, it’s to help students stand out from the crowd.

All students receive a certificate of attendance—great for adding to UCAS applications and portfolios. Additionally, the course includes guidance on how to talk about your preparation in interviews and personal statements.
