Yeah I've been headhunting lots of places for volunteering, and E/C! I plan to take both UKCAT and BMAT (might as well try Cambridge:rolleyes:)
I'm soo nervous the exams are months away and UKCAT is looming towards us! IT's soo hard to understand the 600q book


It's meant to be a difficult test, in terms of the time limits. People say the Kaplan course is good, but it's just so expensive :frown:

I know £300 for 2 DAYS I don't have that sort of disposable cash.

I heard Medify is really good, I am going to be using it!

How much is that and what does it involve?

See, I know a girl who got rejected from everywhere, went on Kaplan, reapplied and swears by it. She got an unconditional in the end. That makes it tempting! Although I have no idea where I'd get that sort of money from. I'm waiting until my exams are over, anyway, then I'll study for the UKCAT.

I think it's around £25 per week of subscription, usually people buy it 2 weeks before their UKCAT test
You not only subscribe to the UKCAT but with the website, meaning they can help you with the application process and PS. Check the website out!

Think about it, it's only a month and 11 days, not too long.

It gives you looooooots of examples and test papers to practice on, and tricks to solve problems like abstract reasoning.
It basically boosts your score, and you can choose the difficulty. I heard from 2 friends of mine who really benefited from it, one of them got 770 last summer because of Medify!

The website also offers help with Personal Statement checking, and with the BMAT.
I've finally submitted my video! :biggrin:

Wow, 770 is a great score! I know that anything over 700 is quite exceptional.
