What do I need to know about these BMAT Tests?
The BMAT February Test and the recently announced BMAT May test are 2-hour paper-based tests with the same structure and timing to the BMAT exam delivered for the October/November and September test dates.
The key differences to pay close attention to between these tests are the universities which accept them.
