BMAT Preparation Course
To consolidate your learning and prepare you for timings in the exam, there will be plenty of practice questions after each topic. These will give you the chance to ask Melissa questions to clear up any misconceptions. To finish the course, you will sit a mock exam which will be marked with individual written feedback sent to you by email. You will leave us feeling confident and prepared to sit the BMAT.
