I am not getting Kaplan. Exam in two weeks, and I read that some people were afraid of the DA in medify not being representative.
I would say that out of all of them, DA makes the most sense to me.

It's a decent score but maybe not competitive enough for an international. Have you considered sitting the BMAT in November?
Original post by idklol
i meant Kaplan the book btw, not the course!
I also meant the book. It will take a while until it gets to my country, and it will already be too late. But thanks anyway.
I want to get the timings done properly. Is this good target timing:
VR - 30 sec/question
QR - 40 sec/question
AR - 15 sec/question or 1 minute/set
DA - 60 sec/question
SJT - 20 sec/question
The reading comprehension is tough on Medify. How representative is it of the final thing?

Is the ukcat the same for everyone or does everyone's test vary with questions? If so, will difficulty levels be the same for everyone?

Questions are selected 'randomly' from a huge bank of questions, so everyone's questions will be different, however the difficulty overall will be similar (but may vary slightly depending on luck haha)

Mine is roughly in a month (8th of September) and I've only done some revision from tge official site, but I read from some people on here that if you revise from medify and the kaplan book , three weeks should be enough. Hope this helps, sorry im not an expert
Where can I find the official mocks? Since this is just practice packs: http://practice.ukcat.ac.uk/pages/menu.aspx?pack=2a35c9e1-ef11-449f-9762-3d5a3692550f
Crap, 2 hours of work just disappeared. NOOOO Oh well. I got like 24/28 for DA, which is what I remember the best. I messed up the QR. I was surprised, since the questions were a bit more cumbersome than medify on the practice.
though I still cannot find a mock where I get a score out of 900. Can someone send me a link to the UKCAT official ones?

So I did an official UKCAT practice test just now, and although it showed me the questions I got correct and incorrect, I couldn't work out how to find the score I got. Or does it not tell you what your score would have been? Thanks if anyone can help

I did those, but pack 4, and it is the same questions. I did A, but I only go percentages, and not a score out of 900.

4pm is pretty late. I would watch a film or something to try and distract myself. Mine was at 12pm and beforehand I ran through 3 or 4 AR sets and then read a newspaper to get my mind working. Definitely don't do anything too mentally strenuous.

You don't get a score. For a crude measure of your score you can do
((no of correct questions/ no of questions)*600)+300
