Just finished it.
VR: 680
QR: 740
AR: 690
DA: 700
SJT band 2
Average: 702.5
Happy with that overall. Looking at last year's cutoffs, the only course that this score rules out is Newcastle. Hopefully I've just squeezed in to the Warwick interviews- time will tell!
My scores are way more consistent than I expected. I was expecting around 650 for QR and AR, 700 for VR and 750+ for DA.
VR was very similar to the official mocks. The comprehension questions were way easier than medify's. All passages were shorter than medify's, they rarely took up the whole page. I managed to finish before the timer ran out, but didn't manage to review all of my flagged questions.
QR was pretty easy. As others have said, the real thing is much more like the official short mock than the official full length mocks. Similar difficulty to medify. I may as well have not used the 600Q book, it didn't help at all for me. Timing was ok, I guessed a few and didn't get to go back to them but I think that's the case for most people.
AR- similar to official mock 1, easier than official mocks 2 and 3. Harder than medify, but not by much. Finished with a few mins to review my flagged questions.
DA- my best section in my prep. I actually scored full marks in this section on official mock 3, but the real thing was harder. More like official mocks 1 and 2. I have a theory that the average mark for DA is always quite high which means it's harder to get in the 800s than other sections when the ukcat marking formula/algorithm is applied. There's no time pressure here, finished with 5 mins left to review flagged questions.
Sjt- same as all the prep resources. Didn't think too much about it really, I just wanted my score by that point. Finished it 15 minutes early.
Resources wise, medify was probably the best buy (I think we can all universally agree on this). It's VR might be a little too hard, and it's AR a little too easy, but other than that it's spot on. I actually bought a £5 keyboard online so I could get used to the shortcuts, which definitely helped (I have a laptop). The 600q book really didn't help me much, although if anyone wants it, I'm selling! :P
Overall, it went better than I expected and I'm very happy!
Good luck everyone, hope you find this useful and sorry for typos etc (on my phone).
