The UKCAT may ruin me!

Well I did try a free version of "who has the biggest brain" or some other such nonsense on an iPod Touch yesterday and was told that I had a brain generations ahead of my time, so swings and roundabouts I guess.

I got Rocket Speed on the coin counting game BIATCH

its CALL-TUR bitch, / cal-turk rofl.

Firstly, if you are using the 600 Questions book to prepare & the sample tests online, the QR questions in those are SO much harder than in the real UKCAT. I did fairly badly on those QR practice questions, but on the real UKCAT (which i sat last August) I absolutely shocked myself and got 760. In the real test the questions were A LOT easier, and you don't need to finish the section to get a good score. In fact, i would go as far as saying it's virtually impossible to finish. I got about 50% of the questions finished (and guessed the remaining 50%) on the QR section and got what i thought to be a good score.

I really do think practicing UKCAT improves your score, and the fact that you are already practicing puts you at a great advantage, because i doubt many other people will start practicing until April at the earliest. The best book to buy to prepare is definitely the 600 Question book, despite the QR questions being a bit harder than those on the real thing. I also used onexamination.com which is okay, but not amazing.

Hope this helps! Good luck

Hi,
I'm hoping to apply for GEP medicine in 2011 - Currently I work as an occupational therapist, and i reckon i have a good chance at it - if I get through the whole UKCAT bit.
In practicing, i'm fine at all areas except QR, which I just go to bits on - I did great in GCSE maths, but this is very different! Any tips or advice - Seriously worried now...??
