Can my school/college register to become a test centre?

Your school/college may be eligible to apply to become a test centre. The deadline to apply is 16 September 2022 at 12.00 noon (BST).

Details of how to do this can be found on our Customer Support Site.

Can I cancel my test registration? Will I get a refund?

Yes, your Exams Officer can cancel your test registration for you but only up until 30 September 2022.

If you paid additional administration fees, it is up to your test centre as to whether they will refund these fees. Please speak to your test centre directly.

How do I apply for Access Arrangements?

Please inform your test centre as early as possible of any special requirements.

Access Arrangements are available if you have a disability or special requirement and you are entitled to support for other exams.

Examples of Access Arrangements include, but are not limited to:

  • use of a laptop/computer
  • extra time 
  • separate invigilation 
  • enlarged papers (modified question paper).

Your centre will:

  • ask for full details of your disability or special requirement

  • submit the request for Access Arrangements, if appropriate.

For more information about our policies and processes, please visit our Customer Support Site.

I cannot afford the test registration fee, what can I do?

For test-takers in the UK, we provide a reimbursement scheme. To find out if you are eligible, please visit the BMAT – October dates and costs page.

Please note that by registering and taking the BioMedical Admissions Test (BMAT), you are agreeing that data provided as part of the entry or admission process may be passed to Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing and any institution involved in your application for a place at one of the BMAT institutions, and also that your data may be anonymised and used for research purposes (including by the General Medical Council for the purposes of the Medical Act 1983 and the UKMED Development Group). You also agree that if you obtain a place on a course where BMAT results form part of the admissions process, then your university may supply Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing with data about your application and results in subsequent assessments at that university, unless you specifically notify the university in writing. We store personal data securely and will ensure if test-taker data is used in publications or research that it is used anonymously.
