UKCAT vs. UKCAT Extended

I just registered an account for myself on the Pearson VUE website.

I tried to schedule a UKCAT test but then I got give 2 options. I haven't a clue which one is the one we need.

UKCAT or UKCAT Extended.

Any ideas?

No idea, I booked the UKCAT extended though as a random guess.

Isn't it just the UKCAT, unless for some reason you need extended time?

Laura M's right:

I think that answers your question.

If anyone else was wondering, just got this off the UKCAT site

"There are two versions of the test currently available, the UKCAT and the UKCAT EX (see the Exam list below). The UKCAT EX is the extended version of the test and is only applicable to candidates with disabilities."

Hope that helps!

Isn't it rather easy to cheat? Who's going to know if you're usually entitled to extra time? Ridiculous system of self-certification (unless they later request proof).

...which is very possible. They need your identification so why not proof?
