Durham foundation year medicine 2015 entry

I didn't do it last year, I did it the year before. I got 2790 overall, whereas I got 3050 before. I found AR and DA harder than I did the last time, but I kicked QR's ass (got 800). Overall though, it seemed easier, maybe because I already have previous experience.

Good luck! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I used the 600q UKCAT book. The questions in there seem more difficult than the actual exam. With VR, I basically ignored anything I knew about the text's subject and went with just what the text says. If the passage is short, read it and if it's long, skim read it.

To be honest though, if you feel more confident in other areas, try not to get bogged down with VR. Do the best you can there and use the other sections to shore up your scores.

with the VR section did you have more comprehension type q's or T/F q's?

From the general trend people have been posting they seem to be having about 4 sets of t/f questions.. Rest are comprehension..

I have my ukcat this week. And seem confident hopefully as done it before and loads of mocks. Once we have the result who do we give it to?
And if we pass when do we get welcome packs and confirmation etc?

When is the last day we can sit ukcat?

Last year, I got told it should be provided by 25th August... Don't know but I suppose it's same this year.. When are you doing yours?
I have mine in 9 days

Hey mines onTuesday. I've heard Durham are really slow at processing in general and updating ucas.

Yeah someone has submitted the results but said no update yet.. Well, once you have passed, whether they update it or not they have no option haha...
How well do you with preparation? Am still hitting my head against the wall for not getting grasp of things...Good luck and hope we make it through

Hello I'm currently in Year 12 and I am attending the 3 day Summer School for Durham Gateway to Medicine this month. I was just wondering if I should prepare for any tests as I'm unsure what to expect for for these 3 days. (If I get in, I would be starting my Foundation Year in 2016)

Any replies would be greatly appreciated, thankyou!
