For Biomedical Science (280 rank score entry for 2022)  it is strongly recommended that students have Level 3 Chemistry and  Biology and an English rich subject and it is useful to have studied Level 3 Physics and Mathematics, either Statistics or Calculus. An English-rich subject (Classics, Geography, English, History ) is recommended for most of Science majors, as there is still some level of writing involved once at university.  See-  https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/study/study-options/undergraduate-study-options/information-for-careers-advisors/guide-to-choosing-school-subjects.html
Students interested in studying Medicine and Dentistry will sit the UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test) as part of their admissions process.  (instead of the UMAT) The UCAT is a well-established and internationally respected test, used widely in the UK since 2006 (under the name UKCAT) to select students to medicine and dentistry courses at the majority of UK universities. The test is a 2 hour computer based test which gives students immediate results. The test consists of five, separately timed, sub-tests in these areas:  verbal reasoning, decision making, quantitative reasoning, abstract reasoning and situational judgement .All the universities in New Zealand and Australia who use UCAT for admissions are here. https://www.ucat.edu.au/ucat-anz/universities/ Please note, some Australian Universities will not require UCAT but all New Zealand ones will. To help prepare for UCAT free, comprehensive preparation materials, including an online guide, tutorials, question banks and practice tests will be available on the UCAT website https://www.ucat.edu.au/ucat-anz/
