I got 745. But I have firmed with Leeds Med as Durham was a fall back plan.

Just don't rush take your time better to answer as many as right then guess most.

Good luck to those going to Durham.

I found you get a mix of of everything. Just remember the UKCAT test format is same as the car theory test. There's a pool of questions and you get some randomly selected from various difficulty. Most text were somewhere in between. Concentrate on the ones your good at. Do not read text. Read Q pickout a few key words. If not in text FALSE if they are read tat full sentence to determine Can't Tell or True. Many people need to actually look up what T F CT actually mean and have to be Evidence based.

Do you have the KAPLAN orange book. Thats the best thing out there. The 600q is very outdated. KAPLAN actually go through how to tackle question. And all the math you need.

Hey guys just to say that you all will be great medics one day. I've been perusing this forum and I've noticed you're all very supportive of one another, giving tips and advice on the application and offer process. You're all quite good people. So all the best for the future and I hope all your goals are fulfilled.

Hello All,

I thought about setting up a Facebook page for the group. A place to meet and pool questions that we all might have before starting in October.

Best of luck to people still waiting on UKCAT

Fingers and toes crossed you will. Sending you good thoughts. A Facebook page is a good idea, at least we won't be total strangers when we start!

Just realised no one answered your quest RE SJT. No this doesn't count. I did horribly on this myself although I barely looke,d at the questions knowing it didn't count as by then I just wanted to know my fate if I'm honest!
