How CQUniversity uses the UCAT

• The UCAT is required, and a competitive total ranks applicants for interview. The minimum varies each year.
• The university's pages were written for the earlier five-subtest test, so they do not make clear whether Situational Judgement counts. Ask the university.

Central Queensland University does not publish UCAT cut-offs on the pages we checked. Scores and percentiles shows where a total sits among all candidates.
