Getting a 19 in bmat for ucl

my friend says they have to give you an interview aslong as you meet the entry criteria.

is that true?

what are the chances of me getting an interview if i did average in the bmat but was predicted AAAa?

They guarantee an interview if you have 19+. Your chance of getting an interview with an average BMAT score is still good provided you have the grades , PS, etc

yeah you have to get minimum of 5.0 in sections 1 and 2 as well by the way - you can't just have a great essay score, and rubbish sections 1 and 2

The main problem with this test is the time allowed. You must work through it quickly and steadily and don't fall behind.

yeah bmat is tough - don't ever rely on it!
yes, I agree. Throw on an extra 15 minutes on both sections and I would get around 90%. The essay is a bit scary though

The material itself is not difficult per se, its the way that the questions have twists, its more the fact that its exceedingly easy to make mistakes under the time pressure.

When practising Sections 1+2 make sure you give yourself approximately 10% less time that you would have in the real exam, eg 55 minutes for Section 1 and 27 for Section2. This will enable you to speed up your thought processes and simulate the pressure you will be under in the exam.

For the essay you should be in no way strapped for time. 30 minutes is more than enough time to write 30 lines. It's the planning that makes or breaks an essay.

No, (although they do give you a load of questions) The advice is a regurgitation of whats in the avaliable books.
