Kaplan BMAT Book

Anyone selling it ? I'm willing to buy it need it for a friend please PM me.

Thanks.

It seriously is not worth the money.
The section 2 (science section) is the largest section in the book and contains out of date info on the specification. It also goes way beyond what you need to know (covers A2 stuff like the Krebs Cycle) which will NEVER come up as the BMAT tests you on the GCSE Double Science specification that the year 13s of the cohort will have sat.
It's advice for sections 1 and 3 are rather generic and the reputation for that book is just a lot of hot air created by exploiting wannabe medics.
You're better off spending your money (and consequent time) on GCSE revision guides and critical thinking books.

Thanks, I'm hoping to apply to UCL too as a grad. I heard by quite a few people that it's very good though, it helped them achieve very good scores.

What's 'the official bmat book' the one linked in your sig ?

The exam is unpredictable and by looking at the 2010 past paper,there have been quite a lot of questions requiring AS knowledge. The Kaplan book covers the whole specification but if you don't have enough time to cover everything then go through the past papers. Don't buy the official book (especially the latest edition) as it only covers the questions that you can find in the past papers. Alternatively, you could buy few books covering all the GCSE science and maths section as well for AS levels (only for science).

I've heard the Kaplan book is pretty rubbish. It's meant to have far too much detail.

Have you heard it from people who've used it and said it was rubbish? If that's the case they wouldn't have scored high LOL

Although, the book covers section 2 in depth but there is no doubt that there have been quite a lot of questions in the past papers that require AS knowledge.

The book starts off with the basic concepts and includes some extra stuff in the end but if you are studying AS Sceince topics then it's no harm learning some of the topics again.

I would go through the specficiation in depth rather than losing marks in the exam because of some silly questions and eventually not get interview/admission and wait another year.
