Sheffield gave many AAB offers last year and I've been told it's highly likely that they will again this year,
On their website it's AAA.
They needed to raise grade requirements really, they had lots of applicants this year which was why the UKCAT cut off jumped so high compared with the last few years. UKCAT couldn't go much higher so it's easier for them to raise the grade requirements.

Don't worry so much about the UKCAT. At the end of the day, it is an aptitude test.

Tell me about it!! I spent hours on it yesterday and by the time I'd finished I'd read through it so many times it wasn't even making sense to me anymore....
You know like when you say a word too many times and it just loses meaning!!

I just tend to have sudden sentences form in my mind that I want to include in my PS when I'm about to go to sleep or at college or something XD So I'd recommend having a notepad or something nearby so you can write them down. Often, (with me anyway), my best sentences come to me when I'm not even considering writing my PS

Haha same! When I'm drifting off to sleep, I suddenly think of something to put in my ps. During the day, I just tend to sit blankly at my ps with nothing to write
How's ukcat revision going? I have mine in 10 days. 
Theres only so much you can improve your UKCAT score - It is an aptitude test. You just need to get used to the timing and style of the questions. BMAT is the one you can go mad with preparation for.

Yeah - one of my friends has already done his UKCAT and he said the QR section was a lottttt easier than the one in the 600 Q book!
Not sure about others though - AR (from the 600 Q book) is killing my morale

Don't let the 600Q book defeat you!! In my opinion it's much harder for AR and QR than it needs to be...
None of the other materials I've used were that hard.
The practice test in the back of the book is much easier
What is wrong with DA seriously, how does 'Personal Special Opposite Man' not translate to wife? This is in an exercise in the 600Q book, on the 2 useful additions, and it says the word 'spouse' would be needed to translate the word 'wife' in their given sentence, surely I just translated it without using 'spouse'?

It could well be girlfriend.

True say, but surely it could work just as the inverse would work for husband?
And haha

My sister did a Dr Prep course which was basically one day of discussion and then a mock interview the next day. It wasn't specifically aimed at Oxbridge and I think my sister found it more useful for Nottingham. Our school did one general mock interview that was no use whatsoever!
She got into Cambridge anyway so I don't think they are necessary.
