There are several BMAT sessions throughout the year and different universities accept different sessions, depending on their admissions cycle. It is important to know which one(s) you can take as part of your application. Combining the scores for Section 3: If the two marks for content are the same or no more than one mark apart, the candidate gets the average of the two marks. If the two marks for written English are the same or no more than one mark apart, the scores are combined like this: AA = A, AC = B, CC = C, CE = D and EE = E. For example, a writing task given a 4C by one examiner and 4A by the other will get a final score of 4B. A writing task given 3C by one examiner and 2C by the other will receive a mark of 2.5C. The Biomedical Admissions Test lasts 2 hours and is sat under timed conditions. The BMAT is divided into three sections. You may be able to take the test at your school. If your school or college is not already registered as a centre, they can apply to become a test centre. The deadline for applications to become a centre for the tests taking place in October 2023 is 15 September 2023 at 12.00 noon (BST). Reading the Section 3 marking criteria gives you a general idea of how you’re being graded. You should be getting A for “quality of English”, although 5 for “quality of content” is much harder to attain. Read sample BMAT essays

Timing is so important, especially for BMAT in which the main challenge is finishing the paper on time. Not once did I finish a practice paper within the time limit. (I remember taking roughly 1.5 h for Section 1 and 45-50 min for Section 2.) It is organised exactly according to the BMAT test specification. It covers every item on the list, in that sequence. That makes it so easy to find the part(s) you need and target your revision to certain sections. It also makes it superior to your own notes (since none of your secondary school or JC notes were based on the BMAT specification). Section 3tests the capacity to develop ideas and to communicate them effectively in writing. It is not a test of knowledge. You will get access to texts that cover every point in the BMAT test specification for Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics. This resource is good enough.
