3,000+ QUESTIONS, ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW A huge bank of 3,000+ authentic, exam-style questions across all four UCAT sections — you won't be shown the same one twice until you've worked through the rest. Build a daily streak and keep it going. PRACTICE THAT ADAPTS TO YOU As you answer, MedCat learns which topics and question types you find hardest and steers your next questions toward those weak spots, with your most recent results counting most. You spend your time where it actually moves your score. UNDERSTAND EVERY ANSWER Every question comes with a clear, worked explanation — not just the right letter, but why each option is right or wrong — plus an on-screen calculator for Quantitative Reasoning and authentic shared-stimulus sets, just like the real test. AN AI TUTOR ON EVERY QUESTION Stuck? Ask the built-in AI tutor to re-explain any question your way, as many times as you need — like having a tutor on call for every single question. PRACTISE ANYWHERE, EVEN OFFLINE Your questions work without a connection — practise on the train, between lectures or wherever you are. No signal needed to keep your streak alive. A FULL MOCK WHEN YOU WANT IT Sit a timed mock across all four sections, then review a clear per-section breakdown. PAY ONCE, OR SUBSCRIBE — YOUR CHOICE Most UCAT prep apps only bill you every month, for as long as you keep prepping. MedCat lets you choose. Start free with 20 questions per subtest, then either: Buy a one-off pass that covers your exam window and simply ends. No auto-renew, no surprise charges: - 1 month — £14.99 - 3 months — £34.99 (most popular) - 12 months — £59.99 (best value) Or subscribe monthly, every 3 months or yearly at the same prices, if you would rather spread the cost. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel, and you can cancel any time in your Apple account settings. Most people buy a pass, sit their exam, and are done.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: King’s Student at none against MedCat's 6. MedCat's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
