UCAT ANZ vs. UCAT

The UCAT ANZ simply refers to the Australia and New Zealand version of the UCAT. The UCAT ANZ test content will be identical to that of the UK test. Aspiring medical school students will take the UCAT ANZ when applying to universities in Australia and New Zealand.

However, do note that as an international student applying to Australia and New Zealand, you will most likely not be required to take the UCAT ANZ. Many programs instead require international students to take the ISAT (International Students Admissions Test). Do refer to each university’s medical program requirements to determine which test you should be taking.
