Imperial College Medicine Applicants 2012

That's good! I've kinda given up now. I just don't know what to do anymore. I haven't even finished physics gcse revision yet :\

From what I've come across (in the past papers etc), I think physics questions are among the easiest (and sometimes hardest) ones. At least you can prepare for Section 2, I just don't know what to do about section 1, lol.

He must've had a lower score in other section as cut-off was 2.5C

My bad! I keep thinking it was section 3, but, you're right. I think he had a lower score for Section 1.

Lol I'm less worried about section 1 than section 2 lol. How have you been revising?

The 400 BMAT Qs book and GCSE revision guides. I've got the official book too, but it's worth fluff. There are like 2 questions in there for each section :/

What about you?

Just the Kaplan book and the Official guide. Do you think I'm missing out from using the 400q book? :/

I'm actually finding it very useful, though I'm not sure how it'd compare with the Kaplan book. I've heard the Kaplan one is not very representative of the actual test?

Given that you meet the BMAT cut off, I don't see why you will not be interviewed (unless other aspects of your applications that you have not mentioned, such as PS etc, are just outright horrible). And they don't look at your UKCAT. I don't see why you wouldn't stand a fair chance; but then I'm no admissions tutor :tongue:

What college guys?
Also, does anyone know what gives an applicant the edge for Imperial? :smile:

Jesus college :biggrin:

Yea for Imperial you need pretty much half marks in all the BMAT sections, or they won't even consider you for interview apparently :s-smilie:

Oh dear :/ that's not good, section 1 is hard!
I'm a good essay writer though, so section 3 should be okay, however can anyone enlighten me about what's the best approach for the essay?

Please and danke! :colondollar:
