Three tests decide entry to Australian medicine. The UCAT ANZ is taken once a year by school leavers applying to consortium universities; the ISAT is the international test several schools require instead; the GAMSAT is for graduates applying to four-year MDs.

A timeline from India

Class 11: research schools and their tests. Class 12, January to May: book and sit the ISAT in an early window, or book the UCAT ANZ by May. July and August: UCAT ANZ. September to November: applications and interviews. Offers follow from late in the year for entry the next February. Graduate-entry applicants sit the GAMSAT during the final year of their bachelor's.

Beyond the test

Interviews (often multiple mini-interviews), English at IELTS 7.0 or above and strong Class 12 science marks complete the file. Each school weighs the parts differently, so read each programme's international admission page.
