How to Master the BMAT:... | Buy

The BMAT (BioMedical Admissions Tests) is used at Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial College, UCL, and Royal Veterinary College. It is a subject specific admissions test taken by applicants to certain medicine, veterinary science and related courses, such as pharmacology, psychological sciences and biomedical science.How to Pass the BMAT provides practice tests for the aptitude and skills multiple choice, scientific knowledge and application multiple choice, and writing task. With BMAT testing increasing because of the inability to differentiate between students with too many A grades, this book provides invaluable practice and will help you to stand out form the crowd and get the place you want.
