I do like to keep busy, I may have a slight A type personality lol. I have heard you can hear whether you receive a place on the course up to a few weeks - around three - later.
I was wondering about work myself, so you have decided you will not work throughout the academic year? I am unsure about this, although, it would be a rather sensible way to approach the course. I am torn between working two days a week for experience, financial obligations and future university application purposes. At the same time I do not want to run into difficulty managing a high volume of course work/studying around work.
I have not started studying for the UKCAT yet, I have sporadically in the past so I am familiar in the content and structure. My test is booked for the second week in August. I plan to begin studying for it on the 15th of June after exams, the access course interview and a short trip along the west highland way have been completed.
Have you made a dent in the preperation for UKCAT? I think 6-8 weeks is reasonable although, others might warn against this.
