I might just get the 1000q book if i am done with medify practice questions early. Also, i am struggling with the verbal reasoning section, so do you guys have any tips? ) thanks

Try and read the text quickly and then go to the questions before going back to the text. If you read the text in too much detail too early you will waste a lot of valuable time.

I mailed sgul and they said for the international foundation, 500 is the threshold and anyone above it will be considered for interview of they get 14/20 in the foundation year.

Also, once into FY, they won't consider ukcat again for future assessments of the application

I came across a free UKCAT question bank that I did online for FREE. Lots of questions in it. very useful.

sounds like it's worth a try then does it not?

Why are you scared. A few days ago, you replied to someone who said they were scared by saying (your words):

" I think it is OK to feel that way. We are at that cross road in life. We will do as many before us have done so. Key is to visit, see, get a feel of future life. Expectations are there in every aspect of life, whatever we do. Just give your best and the best will come to you. That is my way of thinking. Best of luck." So you can take your own advice on board.

The Kaplan course is actually pretty good. They are after all one of the most experienced companies and do not suffer from the "Everyone can be a tutor syndrome" because let's face it everyone and their dog is now pretending to be a "UKCAT" tutor.

However the main problem with courses is that I just cannot see how you can ever learn much about 4 different sections of the UKCAT in just one day. At just about 90 minutes per section it seems an utter waste of money. As such only courses which are longer (eg 2 or more days) would be worth attending but then quite pricey.

So my conclusion is that if you intend to attend a one-day course, then don't. It's a waste of bloody time. You might as well spend the money on books or online resources. Only courses which are longer than one day are worth attending if you can afford them.

Practiced on medify for a month

How did you manage a good AR score? Because Medify doesnt have the "X is to Y as Z is to __" type questions and also doesnt have the type 4

Right, even though I've never practiced those types of questions before I found them to be by far the easiest. I really can't say how I managed to get what I got other than using medify. The types of questions you just mentioned are often used in IQ tests and I've done those before so I guess I kinda knew what to expect?

And the Medify mocks, how close are they to the real thing?
Do you feel they are harder or easier?

It's too hard for me at the moment. I'm going to get confident before I tackle that book again but i think it will be handy once i get to grasps with things maybe after a course. Is the 1000Q book worth it as well?
