*MEGATHREAD* - BMAT for 2016 Entry Discussion - Page 2

I am not concerned about section 2 or 3 but section 1. Is the real exam harder than the questions in the 600 qns book?

BTW I might be underestimating section 1 because the layout in the book is completely different to the exams.

Just do a past paper and you'll see for yourself. There's loads on the BMAT website for free, no point doing the ones in the book first.

Does anyone else find BMAT easier than UKCAT or is it just me?

I did

Also I'm pretty sure that everyone does the BMAT after the UKCAT so you'll already have had practice at these kinds of tests by the time you sit the BMAT.

I sat it last year. Didn't get through all the past papers (there's quite a lot if I recall correctly, and some of the older ones were on a different specification for section 2), wish I had done a few more though. By all means though, revise the way you want to - you know yourself better than I do!

I have updated my BMAT blog post about how the universities use the BMAT (mostly Leeds and Brighton & Sussex), and I hope that you find this information useful! :smile:

You definitely don't need the Kaplan book. I have one myself actually, I went on the course last year. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just not worth anywhere near £199.

I would just advise using the resources provided on the BMAT website - they've got a list of things you should know for section 2, an online revision guide for it and loads of past papers. Just work your way through those. If you really need extra help you can buy BMAT books off Amazon...or go on the BMAT Crash Course (I'm sure Refrigerator will be happy!) :smile:

I am from Singapore and I have friends who had attended the BMAT Crash Course last year and found that it was really good :smile:

Hi there

I was wondering if any one has attempted Section 2 past papers and have all the solutions explained at one place. That would indeed be very helpful

Many thanks
Best regards

Hi,

I am applying to medicine as a graduate. I studied in Spain and I am going to sit the BMAT. Even though I have my sciences quite fresh I was thinkning about getting good textbooks that could help me with the exam: GCES or A levels? Any recommendations?

Thanks!
