Thanks man, same to you on the 4th, go in there guns blazing! (Hopefully not literally, then again Pearson Vue probably deserve it after the cockups with the DA this year :biggrin:

)

Lol I hope my DA isn't altered! And thank you!! I think I may do it earlier depending on how prepared I feel. How can one now when one is fully prepared?? Haha

Damn! I didn't think like that!

Also... After reading susie's posts before her UKCAT I hope my TOM comes on time :\

I'm just worried it that my PS will be weak :frown:

Pretty much all of my VR were new types which really threw me, dunno about the rest but I had only about 2-3 T/F/Can't Tell types. How's the QR going? :smile:

I also only had a few of T/F/Can't Tell. They seem to really like the new type.

By the way you guys... I think I've fallen in love with St George's. :love:

I was researching the course and the uni today and it seems perfect for me. I'm from a small northern town so I was a bit apprehensive about applying for London Unis but I was roaming around on street view and it looks so amazing and I want to live there right now. :gah:

I just hope I meet those!

It's a good school from what my friend told me, he's a 2nd year there. Even though I'm from London, never been to that side before over in Tooting but I'm sure you'll love it being from a small town n' all :biggrin:

Yeah they do, I've read their entry requirements page so many times, it's a minimum of 500 in each subtest and then they have an overall cutoff which was 2530 last year.

And I don't know how people coped before google! Whenever I'm going somewhere new I always check out street view, just the other day I had to look up where the Pearson Vue centre was!

I have my UKCAT on the 27th and I'm so scared. Luckily, I'm a reapplicant who is applying for postgraduate medicine so I have a list of medical schools that I can apply to if I flip the UKCAT :frown:

Lol the first time I used google street view... Out of ALL the amazing places in the world I could virtually see.. I chose to see my home :redface:

So if you have 500 on each subtest and meet the minimum score your safe? I was told they have higher cut offs on each subtest depending on the people that apply in that year! I just hope that's not true. But after my UKCAT I'm gonna call up :smile:

That's good to hear! I've been to London loads of times but only ever to the touristy areas in the centre and the Olympic Park when I saw the Paralympics.

I think most people look for their home first! I remember running the geography part of open evening at high school and I was supposed to be showing visitors how to use google earth and they all just want to see what their house looked like from space haha!

I think the 500 minimum stays the same each year but the overall score changes depending on who applies :smile:
