MEGATHREAD - BMAT for 2016 Entry Discussion

Hey guys, first post here. I'm curious to find out how everyone else here is prepping for this exam. I started a couple of days ago, finished going over chemistry today and starting on physics now.

Also, can I ask how you guys are using the past papers? For example, are you saving them till the end or doing them as you go along. I ask because I've never really used past papers to prepare for exams, but apparently it really helps. Thanks :smile:

Has anyone tried the Blue Admissions papers yet? How representative of the real thing are they? I heard they're a lot harder

What are those? and where do you find them??

Anyone please??

Thanks

Hey does the assumed subject knowledge guide contain everything you need to know because after looking at the most recent spec, the guide has a lot of unnecessary detail.

Hi! All the past papers are on the 'preparing for the bmat' website.

As for scores, some papers have a conversion table but I just use the lazy and inaccurate method of multiplying my raw percentage by 9 :P

And yeah, I'm so glad they changed the spec, although it was mostly the maths questions I struggled on.

You can find them on the BMAT website and there should be a conversion table for raw marks to BMAT scores on the answer keys.

Ahh thanks a lot guys.

CYsuxx, I also struggled quite a lot with the 2003 and 2004 papers, hopefully it's easier nowadays haha (haven't done any recent papers)

2003 to 2008 has a lot of stuff that isn't in the exam any more so that might be why :tongue:

Obviously you won't have to know everything but anything in there can be tested so you ought to know at least the key topics in there

can someone explain how to do this question please?

I understand trial and error might be the fastest way but I'm not sure how to do that?

so 0.015 is the smallest volume of droplet size and 15cm^3 is the largest volume?

divided them I keep getting 10?? (which is wrong)

Anyone know if there is much difference between the assumed knowledge gathered at GCSE level and what is taught in Scottish Intermediate 2?

General question: can I get a good score without buying books or courses?
I think its too late to buy a book anyway as I dont live in the UK.
So are practice papers enough? The ones on the website?
