Either BMAT or UCAT is required, depending on the universities you are applying to.
For most Australian medical schools, submitting an ISAT score is required. ICON+ also runs a workshop on PQA, which some Australian universities require instead.
To apply for the NTU programme, you must submit a BMAT result.
If you want to enter graduate medical school, the tests required vary from country to country. MCAT is used for the US, Canada, Duke-NUS and most Australian Universities. GAMSAT is used by Australian Universities, some UK Universities and in recent years, Duke-NUS.
Unlimited access to preparation for university entrance tests, interviews, skills and more.
