WHAT TO EXPECT
This exam is an aptitude test and is highly likely very new to you and unlike any examination that you have taken before. From 2011, we have been teaching preparation courses for the UCAT and HPAT and we believe that our experience gained will help improve you with this difficult exam. Feedback from the 2025 MSAT, coupled with our knowledge gained over the years, please be aware that timing is critical and we strongly suggest that you practice questions under time constraints. Passages will be long, and may contain obscure nouns and such passages will take time to read and analyse. This will apply particularly in Critical Reasoning but also expect long passages of dialogue in Interpersonal Understanding. Quantitative reasoning will contain graphs, pie charts and ratio calculations, we advise that you practice percentages, probability and quick maths calculations.
We have revised our question banks with this in mind. The total test time is 2 hours 40 min.
Please note that AI generated questions, while they can generally help, will lack the specificity and nuances of the MSAT question structure
