What is the ISAT?

A mandatory test for international students applying for medicine, dentistry or veterinary science at many top Australian universities.

A test of Critical Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning, and not subject-specific knowledge studied at school.

A 3-hour long 100-question computer-based test administered around the world.

Candidates are allowed to take the ISAT once a year. For 2021, tests are conducted in January, May, August, and November. The August and November tests will be conducted via remote proctoring.

ISAT scores are scaled from 100-200 per section and for the overall score.

Sameera

Medicine

Sameera holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Dentistry and ran her own dental practice for 7 years prior to joining ICON+ as a Science Coach. She chose Dentistry over Medicine because she believes in the importance of oral health and the transformative power of a beautiful smile. Hence, she specialises in Endodontics and enjoys performing intricate procedures such as root canal and restorative surgeries. Seeing her patients pain-free or becoming more confident gives her immense satisfaction.

Satisfied ISAT client

“The quality of instruction I received for my ISAT classes was par excellence! My Instructor was experienced and had mastered the format of the test perfectly, which was something that I wouldn't have been able to benefit from had I studied on my own! The high-difficulty practices we did together helped me to apply the techniques I learnt to the test effectively. Moreover, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a similar question that we practiced in the classroom appear on the actual test - BONUS POINTS! Thank you!”
