Very similar to last year so far, but there is still a week of tests to go!

How did it compare to mocks


Posted from TSR Mobile


I don't remember the difficulty level of mock A and B because I took it ages ago, but mock C is still fresh so i'll compare the real one to it. For verbal reasoning and abstract reasoning, the difficuly level was similar, although I find myself having more time to spare in the real one (but the score was the same for VR but worse for AR). Quantitative reasoning was easier compared to the mock. Decision analysis was actually hard...and if i remember correctly, it was harder than the ones I did in 600 questions and the mocks. Overall it's not that bad. The score I got was the average of my worst and best scores from practice tests.

Its pretty late to test different strategies but i would advise reading the question very carefully and understanding what is is being asked before attempting to decipher the data. Pick out what the question is asking for and look for that specifically in the data. Good Luck for tomorrow


Thank you very much for your advice :smile:

How many bar charts/graphs did you get for QR? Was there a lot of data given like on medify?

All the best.
Mine is on Monday. Does anyone have a spare medify sub? I genuinely can't afford it and would appreciate some help. Can send some PP if needs be?

Good luck! I hope you get the score you are looking for!
How did you prepare? Did you use official UKCAT tests? I did the practice ones on there and I found the DA relatively easy, do you think thats an accurate representation fo the actual test or do you think medify is more?
Guys quick question.

For DA ,code seperated by commas indicate the words are not related to each other while brackets create a new word.

What do you do if code within brackets are seperated by commas?

Thank you, I have done all the medify mocks and official mocks and I think that the DA will be similar to the official mocks (I also took the test last year)

If they are separated by a comma and in a bracket they can be combined or they can link together one after another in a sentence being two separate words also. Most often its just combining the two.
