How does everybody think they have done on their AS levels and how is every ones UKCAT revision coming along? When have you booked it for?

Yeah I think I've done well in my ASs. Only thing that could have scundered me is the fact that I had 3 exams in one day :shot:

Biology and 2 RS exams. Think they all went okay though!
Got my UKCAT out of the way already with an average score of 710, so happy enough like! :banana:

What about yourself?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is the order of the sections, as the 600 Q book and the UKCAT book say different things?

The order I posted above there.

Verbal Reasoning
Quantitative Reasoning
Abstract Reasoning
Decision Analysis

The 600Q book is different... not sure why.

Okay thanks! I'm glad my hardest one is first, so I can get it out the way. :tongue:

I know you weren't asking me, but I'm bored, so I'm going to answer anyway :ninja:

I found DA by far the easiest section. In the actual exam it was my highest scoring section, and I finished it with 7 mins 40 seconds remaining.

Nice. I've got my test at the end of the month, I'm doing light revision but keep drifting off to something else like TSR. :rolleyes:

Have you thought about places to apply?

Good idea. I made the mistake of thinking that you couldn't revise for it. So I sat down on the Monday with my test on Thursday to familiarise myself with the question format, only to realise that it was the hardest thing I'd ever done and that you so can revise for it! :lol:

I spent a lot of time in The Big Medicine UKCAT 2012 Entry Discussion and Results Thread during those 4 days, I'll tell ya!

Well I'll definitely apply to Queens, since I'm Northern Irish and they are keeping the fees down. I also really liked Glasgow when I went to the open day, so I think I'll apply there too. The other 2 though, I'm in the process of researching :biggrin:

Depends on how I do on my UKCAT if I do crap, probably Liverpool. If I do well Kings. I'm from the north you see and I'm trying to get as far from these nutters I call family.

Trust me. They are mental. Take yesterday for example, I was woken up at 2:30AM to "Do you want a ****ing beating" turns out my two brothers (one who took a deferred entry for dentistry and the other who is unemployed) were having an argument, my dad comes upstairs swearing at both of them, then the unemployed brother gets told to "**** off out of the house". His (unemployed brother) punishment for being a **** is he gets his own home paid for by my dad so he doesn't annoy anybody at home.

Yes I live with nutters.
