Haha not really
But the best resource to use is medify
The only section I'm good at is AR

Can I apply being predicted AAA ?
I told my teacher that I'd like biology to be predicted a B because I'm not so sure I'd be allowed into the programme?

I don't know! But I've read that if your GCSE and A level predictions meet The standard course you won't be considered unless you have extenuating circumstances as to why you want to apply for the foundation year, not sure if it was for Southampton tho

I'm not able to apply for the normal 5 year course because every 5 year course want at least a B in the AS dropped. I got a D in the AS that I dropped.I think I'll tell my teachers to write this in the reference that they wrote for me.


Thank you! yeah, I read this too

aww no worries
the next best resource to use is to buy the Kaplan book - I think it's £15 on amazon and you can sell it later.
You can purchase medify if you want for £30 for a week.

Just get predicted a B!! That's fine
If you do get AAA it doesn't matter, it won't impact your offer if you have one :smile:

I've got the Kaplan book!!
But not medify (may purchase after I've done the Kaplan mocks) and UKCAT ones

Do you have any advice on quantitative reasoning
I suck at it 😕😔

Hmm
With QR, I think a lot of people have said to go onto BBC bite size and remember all the formulas and stuff.
Like how to calculate percentage increase, how to do ratio.
Additionally, I was practicing QR today, and I actually took my time with the questions because it's better getting them right than guessing most of them.
On the UKCAT website, it tells you what you should learn, like the maths topics so you could make a list of them and study it. :smile:
Hope that helps

I can do the questions without the time limit but with the 40 sec cap it becomes so difficult 😐
Have you done any mocks yet?

Is there an actual mock in the book? Isn't that just a quiz?

Ooh you got a decent score for your first mock!! Well done

Also, my teachers checked my first draft for personal statement
They told me to include a few sentences on my a level subjects.

And they said it's not bad for a first draft but needs improving,
Good luck

Thank you lol, just hoping for the best.

Yeah, I don't know about the a level thing, I'm not gonna add anything about that plus, I have no space lol.
I don't think I'm going to be reapplying for medicine, I'm just gonna go ahead with thereupeutic radiography :smile:

I'm going to reapply if I get rejected pre interview If it's post interview
Then I'll just do biomed/biology and go for graduate entry

Posted from TSR Mobile


Yeah
I think if you really want to do medicine, I suggest reapplying for both options.
Reason being, I've heard graduate entry medicine isn't a good idea in a few years time, just letting you know :smile:

Yeah I've heard
But Nottingham don't consider applications if you were rejected post interview so
Let's just hope we get the offers first time around 😊
