UAC - How the Elite Athlete and Performer Scheme works

If you are an elite athlete or performer and your training, rehearsals, or competitive commitments have significantly affected your Year 12 studies, UAC’s Elite Athlete and Performer Scheme (EAPS) provides a pathway where institutions can consider both your academic and elite achievements. Through this scheme, you may receive adjustment factors (points) to enhance your selection rank when applying for eligible courses at participating institutions.

Early Offers Explained

If you’re in Year 12 and planning to go to uni next year, there are plenty of opportunities to lock in an early offer before you get your ATAR. In many cases, with just a little effort, you can finish school feeling a bit more relaxed about what’s in store for you in 2027.

UCAT Practice Tests and Question Banks

These example questions and practice tests are produced by the UCAT Consortium and are representative of the live test. We recommend you use these official materials to prepare for your test. Don't forget to read the information about the test tools before you start, as it explains how to use the on-screen calculator and keyboard shortcuts. Although introduced to Australia and New Zealand in 2019, the UCAT has been used for over 12 years in the UK under the historic test name UKCAT. These UCAT preparation materials represent the content of the UCAT ANZ test and should be used to familiarise yourself with the test format and to prepare for the test. As practice materials are compiled from previous test questions, there may be a higher proportion of questions with a UK context than you will see in the UCAT ANZ.

UCAT Preparation Advice and Resources

We advise you to prepare for the UCAT using the free official practice materials, which have been developed by the UCAT Consortium. We believe that all people should have access to free preparation materials to support their test preparation.
