Petition

Scrap the UCAT admission test for Medicine and Dentistry university applicants.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The UCAT is an unfair judgement and is not a true representation of someone’s ability within healthcare sector. This is because it is an unrealistically timed exam which has very little correlation to the degree.
We’d like to get rid of the UCAT system and replace with something more science or clinical based which represents the degree as doctors/dentists would not be operating in the way the UCAT exam requires us to do.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
