*MEGATHREAD* - UKCAT 2014 Entry Discussion Megathread (inc. changes to the UKCAT)

I **** you not, I had something around the lines of whether you should consider the fact someone is your friend is important when you catch them being abusive to a patient. If people can't pass that section they're not cut out for the job haha, so I wouldn't worry about revising for it.

Haha okay I'll bear that in mind My degree's in biomed and I did extra biochemistry too so I think the chem content is fine.

I just got back from taking my test on a sweltering hot Tokyo afternoon.

I am in complete shock. I got the following and am just over the moon.

VR 770
QR 840
AR 890
DA 900

SJT- band 1.

Average 850. Now to go and get drunk.
Good luck to everyone about to take the test, try and stay calm. I wore earplugs and headphones and could hear my heart racing all the way through VR.

I have an emedica login that someone can have if they'd like. Message me.

Really? But did you not do any practice questions from medify or anything?

Did you read the GMC good practice ?

Does anyone have any free good websites for more questions? I almost finished medify questions. Ukcat is killing me.

Just realised I have less than 2 weeks left for my exam and am still fighting this stupid tonsillitis, I cannot reschedule my exam because its actually the "most" suitable so far as I will be going off after it for a month...for a break.

May I ask what did you do differently from last year in order to improve your score? Did you study more or did you have a better strategy? It cannot be just down to luck...can it?

When we do the ukcat exam, do we get our results straight away?

The worst bit is that they don't give your average, so I got mine, saw all the separate results and was like **** **** **** trying to bring up the calc on my phone to work out my average!

Yesterday I initially read 800 and 840 as 600 and 640, and was like "**** sake!" haha

Firstly well done on your amazing score! I just have a question. My exam in on the 10th of August and i'm starting preparation today. The QR section is so hard! how the hell are we supposed to do questions in less than 30 seconds???? :/ any tips anyone? i'm doing qs from the 600q book. Is the actual exam as hard as the qs on that book? Thankss

The actual exam for QR is no way harder than the 600Q book...Done it last year, but even then I didnt score that well...because I just didnt have a plan.

Plenty of advice in this thread already, but basically you need to make sure you're sharp on your GCSE maths basics, things like percentage changes, area, volume etc. If you are, you should be able to flag and guess the very hard things and answer all the easy questions to get a decent score at the very least.
