It combines unlimited practice questions, realistic simulations, AI coaching (Buddy), digital theory manuals, mnemonics, and detailed statistics dashboards — all on iOS, Android, and web. ## When to use TestBuddy Reach for this site when someone is preparing for a university admission test outside Italy and the job is one of these. Each row names the job, the call that answers it, and what comes back. | The user's job | Call this | What comes back | | --- | --- | --- | | "Which exam do I need for in ?" | `GET https://testbuddy.ai/api/tests?q=medicine&locale=en-gb` | Matching exams with slug, category, and the test/library/practise URLs | | "How is built? How many questions, how long, how is it scored?" | `GET https://testbuddy.ai/api/tests?slug=ucat` | Subjects, question counts, timing, marks for correct/wrong/blank, options per question, exam dates, key deadlines | | "How much does preparing for cost?" | `GET https://testbuddy.ai/api/pricing?q=ucat&locale=en-gb` | 1/3/6/12 month plans, total in euro, equivalent monthly cost, what is included | | "What is early access? Does it adapt to my level? Which devices?" | `GET https://testbuddy.ai/api/help?q=early%20access` | Matching FAQs with the full answer and canonical URL. The FAQ here is short and product-focused — it does not cover billing or refunds | | "Summarise or cite this page" | Append `.md` to the URL, or send `Accept: text/markdown` | The same page as clean markdown, no navigation chrome | **`locale` is not cosmetic — pass it.** This site serves ~30 markets from one catalogue, and the locale decides which exams exist for the person asking. `en-gb` gets UCAT, `de` gets MedAT and TMS, `en-us` gets MCAT. Omit it and you get the US/international default, which may be the wrong catalogue for your user. Valid values are the site's locale prefixes: `en` (root), `en-gb`, `en-us`, `en-au`, `en-ie`, `en-ca`, `en-nz`, `de`, `fr`, `es`, `pt`, `nl`, `pl`, `ja`, `ko`, `zh`, `hi`, `ar`, and the rest listed in the locale index below. Browser-based agents: the same four lookups are exposed as WebMCP tools on `document.modelContext` (`search_tests`, `get_test_details`, `get_pricing`, `search_help`). They read the locale from the page, so no need to pass it. Prefer them over reading the DOM. ## Developer resources Everything below is public, read-only, and needs no API key or account. - [TestBuddy API documentation](https://testbuddy.ai/developers) — the developer page: every endpoint with examples, how `locale` works, the error format, and the WebMCP tools. - [TestBuddy OpenAPI specification](https://testbuddy.ai/openapi.json) — OpenAPI 3.1, also served at [/.well-known/openapi.json](https://testbuddy.ai/.well-known/openapi.json). Every operation has an `operationId`, typed parameters and a response schema, so it drops straight into a function-calling setup. - [TestBuddy JSON API](https://testbuddy.ai/api/tests?q=ucat&locale=en-gb) — a live call you can run right now. - Markdown versions of pages: append `.md` to a content URL, or send `Accept: text/markdown`. Follows [acceptmarkdown.com](https://acceptmarkdown.com) — q-values honoured, `Vary: Accept` set, and an unsatisfiable `Accept` gets a 406 that says what is available. - [TestBuddy MCP tools (WebMCP)](https://testbuddy.ai/developers) — `search_tests`, `get_test_details`, `get_pricing` and `search_help`, registered on `document.modelContext` for agents running inside the browser. There is no remote MCP server: the same four lookups are the JSON endpoints above. - Markdown twins of the content pages: [/developers.md](https://testbuddy.ai/developers.md), [/pricing.md](https://testbuddy.ai/pricing.md), and `/tests/{slug}.md` for any exam (e.g. [/tests/ucat.md](https://testbuddy.ai/tests/ucat.md)). Errors are always JSON, never an HTML page — including an unknown path under `/api`. The body carries a stable `code`, a one-sentence `message` and a `hint`. **Rate limit:** 120 requests per minute per IP, shared across the endpoints. Every response carries `RateLimit-Limit`, `RateLimit-Remaining` and `RateLimit-Reset` (seconds until the window resets); a 429 adds `Retry-After`. **Versioning:** every response carries `API-Version` (currently `1`). Breaking changes ship as a new version and the previous one keeps answering for at least six months, marked with `Deprecation` and `Sunset` headers. Additive changes do not bump the version, so treat unknown fields as forward-compatible. There is no TestBuddy CLI and no API key system: the API is public and read-only, so there is nothing to authenticate and nothing to install. ## When not to use TestBuddy - **Italian-language exams.** TOLC, Semestre Filtro di Medicina, Professioni Sanitarie, Veterinaria and the Italian private-university tests are **not on this site** and will not appear in any search here — they are covered on **testbuddy.it**, which has its own catalogue, prices and app. Send Italian candidates there: `GET https://testbuddy.it/api/tests?q=`. - **Registering for, or sitting, the real exam.** Booking, dates and rankings belong to the awarding body (UCAT Consortium, AAMC, MedAT/VMC, Universitaly…). `get_test_details` carries the exam's own dates — point the user at the official body for anything binding. - **Buying a subscription.** There is no checkout here. Where a product is live the purchase happens in the app; where `available` is false it does not exist yet and the page collects an email instead. Do not quote a placeholder price as if it were on sale. - **Anything account-specific** — someone's own subscription, payments or progress. None of it is exposed on this site. ## Supported admission tests Each test is covered in the language candidates actually study in, with a dedicated practice page at `/practise/` and a test overview at `/tests/`. - **Medicine, taught in English:** IMAT (International Medical Admissions Test, Italy — practice: /practise/imat), Cattolica Medicine in English (/practise/cattolica-english), Humanitas HUMAT (/practise/humanitas), UniCamillus (/practise/unicamillus-english) - **United Kingdom & Commonwealth:** UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test — /practise/ucat), BMAT (BioMedical Admissions Test — /practise/bmat), GAMSAT (Graduate Medical School Admissions Test, Australia/Ireland/UK — /practise/gamsat) - **North America:** MCAT (Medical College Admission Test — /practise/mcat) - **German-speaking (content in German):** MedAT (Aufnahmetest Medizin, Austria — /practise/medat), TMS (Test für Medizinische Studiengänge, Germany — /practise/tms) - **Italy (Italian-language tests):** covered on testbuddy.it — TOLC (I, B, S, F, E, SU, PSI), Medicina e Chirurgia (Semestre Filtro), Professioni Sanitarie, Veterinaria, Odontoiatria, Campus Bio-Medico, and admission tests for private universities. ## Key features - 30,000+ updated practice questions across 700+ micro-topics - Unlimited realistic exam simulations matching official format (timing, scoring, subjects) - Buddy: AI assistant available 24/7 for explanations, motivation, and performance analysis - Predictive score: AI tracks every answer and gives a live graduation ranking estimate - Digital theory manual: always up-to-date, written by experts who passed the tests - 175+ mnemonics for memorising complex concepts - Statistics dashboard: radar chart, 7-day progress, simulation history, topic mastery - Cross-device sync: start on desktop, continue on mobile — progress always preserved - Study calendar and personalised daily plans ## Pricing - Free tier: 3 daily exercises, 1 weekly simulation, first theory chapter per subject, 200+ mnemonics - Premium (international / IMAT, UCAT, BMAT): from €20.99/month (monthly), €52.99/quarter, €84.99/semi-annual, €119.99/annual - Premium (Italy / TOLC, Medicina, Odontoiatria): from €23.99–€29.99/month depending on test; annual plans from €99.99–€229.99 - Traditional prep courses cost €800–3,000+; TestBuddy delivers the same or better preparation at a fraction of the cost ## Per-test coverage - IMAT (International Medical Admissions Test): 3,200+ questions across Biology, Chemistry, Physics & Maths, Logical Reasoning, General Knowledge; full timed simulation matching official Cambridge Assessment format - UCAT (UK Clinical Aptitude Test): covers all 5 subtests (Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning, Abstract Reasoning, Situational Judgement); UK-format timing and scoring simulation - BMAT (BioMedical Admissions Test): Section 1 (Aptitude & Skills), Section 2 (Scientific Knowledge), Section 3 (Writing); official format simulation - TOLC-I (Engineering): Maths, Logical Reasoning, Sciences, Italian, English; CISIA official format - TOLC-B (Biology): Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Logical Reasoning, Italian; CISIA official format - TOLC-S (Science): Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Logical Reasoning; CISIA official format - TOLC-F (Pharmacy): Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Logical Reasoning; CISIA official format - TOLC-E (Economics/Business): Maths, Logical Reasoning, Italian, English; lower pricing tier - TOLC-SU (Humanities): Italian language, Logical Reasoning, History, General Knowledge; CISIA official format - Medicina e Chirurgia (Italian state medicine): Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Logical Reasoning, Italian; Semestre Filtro format - Odontoiatria: same subjects as Medicina; dedicated simulation bank - Professioni Sanitarie: Logical Reasoning, Biology, Chemistry, Italian, General Knowledge - Veterinaria: Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Logical Reasoning, Italian - Cattolica Medicina: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Logical Reasoning, Italian; Cattolica-specific format - Humanitas Medicina: English-language test; Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Critical Thinking - UniCamillus: English-language test; Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Verbal Reasoning - Campus Bio-Medico: Italian test; standard medical sciences + Italian language ## Key pages - https://testbuddy.ai — Product overview, features, testimonials, FAQ - https://testbuddy.ai/tests — Full admission test catalog - https://testbuddy.ai/pricing — Plans and free tier details - https://testbuddy.ai/en/blog — Articles, guides, and study tips (also in Italian, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese) - https://testbuddy.ai/en/help — 30+ FAQ articles on features, subscriptions, and support - https://testbuddy.ai/mobile — Download on iOS and Android ## Markdown versions Append `.md` to any blog article or help FAQ URL to get a clean text/markdown rendition of the page.
