*MEGATHREAD* - UKCAT 2015 Entry Discussion Megathread

Well I've got mine tomorrow morning at 8am, just did the UKCAT official test B and just wanted to know what people scores where like on it.

I got:
VR: 36/44
QR: 23/36 (Quantitative on the official practices are ridiculous)
AR: 29/55 (Not sure here, normally fine with AR but I hated most of the official ones...)
DA: 22/28

STJ: 35/67 (Lots of responses by me that are one off the answer so lost out on lots of marks)

Overall: 67.5% and 35/67 on STJ (Probably band 3, maybe band 2 if i'm lucky)

Anyone else remember what they got?
I'm off to go brush up on my AR and QR (Which strangely are usually my best sections )

In the actual test you get points for picking the next best option for SJT so you'll probably get a good band. Not that many unis pay attention to SJT score unfortunately.

Yeah I know, thats why I mentioned that fact (And looked at the review on it after the test). I'm still not too bothered about STJ in the end. I think my biggest worries for tomorrow are the fact it's 8:00am (Bad choice of time but oh well! I'm a morning person but not that much of a morning person!) and that in any section I improve and then move onto another section to improve, my previous section's scores start to drop again and I can never maintain a good score across the board, it's really damn annoying!

I am and i have similar situation....but what i do is, i read the text quickly and answer the questions as my instincts tell me at first time

I have the same problem…good luck for tomorrow I'm sure you'll let us all know how it goes P.s. any tips for VR? I read the passage for new style questions and skim read for T/F/C i try to skip longer passages and come back to them at the end. Any preparation tips also?

Hi guys, had such a disaster on the UKCAT day and really didn't do very well. I got an average of 650 which is pretty low and I just don't know what unis to apply to now. Here are my results:
VR: 630
QR: 760
AR: 580
DA: 630
SJ: band 1
is there any hope for me at all with places like st.georges?!

Hi guys, Im having my ukcat test in august 15, but I need help.
If you have any sources/websites that will tell me what i am expecting to see or what to look for in the test.

Thank you

Yep, working on QR and AR now. Medify AR is quite easy though, then you look at Official UKCAT AR and it's quite a bit different... The QR as I hear though in the practice tests, is nothing like the real QR which is good to hear.

Oh and quick tip guys. If the UKCAT this year is more comprehension heavy (Which it is said to have been and is), try the official UKCAT B test as it has 90% comprehension!

And tips for VR are really just assume you are a robot and know nothing but what the text says and answer accordingly. Also for comprehension, read the whole text first and answer the question then but also intelligently look at the answers and delete silly answers to make your life easier!

Just sat my UKCAT. Here are my results:
VR 580
QR 760
AR 810
DA 780

SJT Band 1

Average 732.5

I thought VR was tough compared to the practice questions, barely any T/F/CT. QR was much easier than all the mocks I did( in mocks would never get more than 650). AR was much easier than UKCAT official mocks and DA was pretty much the same. Obviously this is only my opinion

Congrats on the great score. If you dont me asking what resources did you use to prepare? also in AR were the questions the more traditional Set A/ Set B or was there quite a lot of the new style AR questions?

Thanks

If what you say is true... All my worries will be washed away... I PRAY my UKCAT tomorrow was like yours. Love the comprehension questions, QR is good if it's medify standard, AR is brilliant if it's medify standard and DA, well DA is DA.
I did the official practice test today and did find QR and AR in particular where harder than usual.
