Medicine 2012...(hopeful entrants) !!

At least you've done some. I'm still procrastinating.

Come on here after ages and see that someones done their UKCAT and done amazing in it.

I''m scared.

Eurrggghh, it's all becoming real too fast Got UKCAT in less than a month, need to get on practice to be honest. How are you guys finding writing personal statements?

My ukcat's next month as well

Pfft, my personal statement is virtually non existent. Hopefully, I shall have written a a few paragraphs sentences.

I've just realised I haven't posted on here in ageeees!

Brilliant, I loved it. Doing ward rounds etc, it's a bit like the Junior docs on TV only you are actually following it in real life.

I wish it was longer, feeling a bit sad now, the people I shadowed were all so nice and I sort of miss them.

Less than 2 weeks to my UKCAT test

I was messing around with the official UKCAT online practice test just now and realised that the onscreen calculator closes each time you move on to the next question. Is there anyway to make the onscreen calculator...continually on the screen?

Nah it says on the UKCAT website that the calculations will be lost when moving onto the next question: http://www.ukcat.ac.uk/pages/details.aspx?page=testroom#calculators
Aw at least it will be over soon
Mine's in like three but i'm not sure i'm anywhere near ready, the timing is a b*tch

Thanks for the info!

Yup, agree with you about the timing. How are you doing on VR and QR? I'm generally a slow reader and can't complete these 2 sections on time

No problem
I find VR okay because i don't really read the passage, i sort of scan it and find the answers quite quickly without reading the whole thing, just need to improve on accuracy because i usually have time left over.
QR is alright for difficulty, but horrible for time
I'm acctually in love with DA, it may save my score from AR - which i'm hopeless at
Only our results will tell

I feel that VR is okay, but in my rush to skim through the passage I often miss out on certain details.
QR is not that hard too but calculations take up a lot of time.
AR is actually my favourite section (I can't believe I'm saying this!) and my general strategy is to compare based on criteria like colours, number of objects, number of sides etc. based on what seems right at that moment But often there may be more than one relationship between the shapes that I don't realise.
DA is...fun when the codes are short, heh.

All the best for your UKCAT

Come on here after ages and see that someones done their UKCAT and done amazing in it.

I''m scared.

Whos done it? What did they get?

Those here who are applying to Oxbridge, have you chosen your colleges yet?

nope, not a clue in the slightest yet!


Well, i got home well over an hour ago and still haven't started anything productive... time for some UKCAT revision

We had to register it internally but nothing is final

Haha I haven't really started any solid UKCAT revision, doing PS atm
