Free UCAT Mock Exams: Two Full-Length Mocks

TheUKCATPeople offers two free, full-length UCAT mock exams you sit online: the Diagnostic Mock and Full Mock 2. Each has 184 original questions across Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning and Situational Judgement, with real UCAT section timings, estimated scaled scores from 300 to 900, an SJT band and an explanation for every question. A free account is needed.

Start with the Diagnostic Mock to see where you stand, then sit Full Mock 2 a few weeks later to measure your progress. Both have the same structure and scoring with completely different questions, and your scores save to your dashboard and mock score tracker.

Which free UCAT mock should I sit first?

Start with the Diagnostic Mock, then sit Full Mock 2 a few weeks later. Both have the same structure, timings and scoring, with completely different questions.

• Diagnostic Mock

  Start the Diagnostic Mock (free, 184 questions, 111 minutes)

• Full Mock 2

  A second full mock with completely different questions, at the same or slightly higher difficulty. Sit it a few weeks after the Diagnostic Mock to measure your progress.

  Start the Full Mock 2 (free, 184 questions, 111 minutes)

How long is the UCAT mock, and what is in it?

Each mock has 184 questions in 111 minutes, just under two hours with the instruction screens. The four sections come in the same order as the real UCAT, with the same question counts and section timings.

What do you get with each free mock?

• Real UCAT structure: four sections in the same order as the real test, with the same question counts and section timings, and an instruction screen before each section.
• Exam-style interface: question navigator, flag for review, on-screen calculator, keyboard shortcuts and colour schemes.
• Standard time or 25% extra time, and a timed or untimed mode. Untimed practice lets you open each explanation as you go.
• Sit the whole mock, or one section on its own: practise a single area, or go back to a section you skipped.
• Estimated scaled scores from 300 to 900 for each cognitive section, a total out of 2700 with an estimated decile, and an SJT band from 1 to 4.
• A full review: your answer, the correct answer and an explanation for every question, time spent against the section target, and marks by question type.
• Next steps: the free trainers that target the question types you dropped marks on, and your scores saved automatically to your dashboard and mock score tracker.

How should you use a UCAT mock?

1. Create a free account. Sign in or register for free, so your attempt saves as you go and you can resume on another device.
2. Sit it under exam conditions. Use a laptop or desktop, allow about two hours, keep the section timers on and do not pause between sections.
3. Review every question. Read the explanation for each question you got wrong or guessed, and note the reason you lost the mark.
4. Train the weak spots. Use the suggested free trainers for the question types that cost you marks, then log the score to track your progress.

Log every mock, from us or any other provider, in the free UCAT mock score tracker, and build a revision timetable with the free study plan builder.

Where can I practise UCAT questions for free?

Between mocks, practise one skill at a time with the free section trainers. They work without signing in, and each answer comes with an explanation.

• UCAT Verbal Reasoning practice questions: 255 practice passages across speed reading, rapid recall, keyword scanning, inference and NOT/EXCEPT trainers.
• UCAT Decision Making practice questions: Over 2,000 syllogism questions, plus 170 data logic and probability, 150 Venn, 120 strongest argument and 60 logic puzzle questions.
• UCAT Quantitative Reasoning practice questions: 228 setup, data extraction and estimation questions, plus calculator, mental maths and unit conversion drills that generate new questions each session.
• UCAT Situational Judgement practice questions: Around 450 scenarios: about 150 each for appropriateness, importance and most and least appropriate questions.

How were the questions written and checked?

Every question is original and written to match the real UCAT format, with the question type mix and section order taken from the UCAT Consortium's own practice tests. Before release, each question was answered blind by a separate checker, disagreements were resolved, and the explanations were reviewed. The explanations are written for self-study, so they show the method rather than only the answer.

Both mocks were developed by Dr Akash Gandhi MA (Cantab) MBBS DRCOG DGM MRCGP MBA, an NHS GP (GMC 7601216) and the founder of TheUKCATPeople, who has taught the UCAT since 2012.

These are independent practice mocks from TheUKCATPeople. They are not affiliated with or endorsed by the UCAT Consortium or Pearson VUE, and the scaled scores are estimates, not official UCAT scores. Use them alongside the free practice tests on the UCAT website.

Free UCAT mock exam FAQs

Is there a free UCAT mock exam?

Yes. TheUKCATPeople has two free, full-length UCAT mock exams online: the Diagnostic Mock and Full Mock 2. Each has 184 original questions across all four sections, with real UCAT timings, estimated scaled scores and an explanation for every question. You need a free account so your attempt saves, but there is no payment and no card details.

How many free UCAT mocks are there?

There are two free full-length mocks here: the Diagnostic Mock and Full Mock 2. They share the same structure, timings and scoring, with completely different questions, and Full Mock 2 is at the same or slightly higher difficulty. The UCAT Consortium also publishes free practice tests on the UCAT website, and it is worth sitting those as well.

Which free UCAT mock should I sit first?

Start with the Diagnostic Mock. Its job is to show where you stand before you plan your revision: alongside estimated scores it breaks your marks down by section and question type, shows where you ran short of time and points you to the free trainers for your weakest areas. Sit Full Mock 2 a few weeks later to measure your progress.

How long is the UCAT mock?

Each mock has 184 questions in 111 minutes: Verbal Reasoning 44 questions in 22 minutes, Decision Making 35 in 37 minutes, Quantitative Reasoning 36 in 26 minutes and Situational Judgement 69 in 26 minutes. With the instruction screen before each section it takes just under two hours in standard time. You can choose 25% extra time if you have it for the real test.

How is a UCAT mock scored?

Raw marks in Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making and Quantitative Reasoning are converted to estimated scaled scores from 300 to 900 each, giving a total out of 2700 with an estimated decile. Situational Judgement gives an estimated band from 1 to 4, where Band 1 is the highest. These are estimates to guide your preparation, not official UCAT scores.

When should I sit a UCAT mock?

Sit your first full mock once you know how each question type works, to find your weakest areas. Then use full mocks more often in the last three to four weeks before your test date, with focused practice on your weak areas in between. Review each mock in detail, because the review usually teaches you more than the score.

Where can I practise UCAT questions for free?

This site has free practice questions for every section. Verbal Reasoning uses 255 passages across five trainers. Decision Making has over 2,000 syllogism questions plus 170 data logic, 150 Venn, 120 strongest argument and 60 logic puzzle questions. Quantitative Reasoning has 228 setup, data extraction and estimation questions plus generated calculator and mental maths drills. Situational Judgement has around 450 scenarios. The trainers work without signing in.

Are the UCAT mocks really free?

Yes. Both full-length mocks are free to sit. You need a free TheUKCATPeople account so your attempt saves as you go and you can resume on another device, but there is no payment and no card details. The section practice trainers are free as well.

How close is the mock to the real UCAT?

Each mock follows the real test's structure: the same four sections in the same order, the same question counts and timings, and question types in the proportions seen in the UCAT Consortium's own practice tests. The interface has a question navigator, flags, an on-screen calculator and keyboard shortcuts. The questions are original, not real UCAT questions.

Does the mock include Abstract Reasoning?

No. Abstract Reasoning was removed from the UCAT from 2025, so the test now has four sections: Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning and Situational Judgement. Both free mocks follow that four-section format, with the same question counts and timings as the real test.

Can I sit just one section of the mock?

Yes. On the start screen choose One section, then pick Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning or Situational Judgement. You can also take a break between sections of the full mock and come back later, and if you skip a section, your results offer to let you sit it on its own.

What do I see after I finish?

You can review every question with your answer, the correct answer and an explanation. You also see your time per question against the section target, marks by question type and which free trainers to use next. Your scores save automatically to your dashboard and the free mock score tracker, labelled by mock.

Can I take the mock on my phone?

Yes, the mocks work on phones and tablets. For realistic practice, sit full mocks on a laptop or desktop, because the real UCAT is taken on a computer with a mouse and keyboard. The section trainers work well on a phone for short practice sessions.

Can I pause the mock or do it untimed?

Your progress saves automatically, so you can resume if you are interrupted. You can also switch the section timers off for untimed practice, which lets you open the explanation for each question as you go. For a realistic score, keep the timers on and sit it in one go.

Is this an official UCAT practice test?

No. Both mocks are independent practice tests written by TheUKCATPeople, and they are not affiliated with or endorsed by the UCAT Consortium. The scores are estimates. We recommend also sitting the free practice tests published by the UCAT Consortium on the UCAT website.
