Just got 720 in total, (610, 780, 770). To revise I used medify for 2 weeks spent the first doing practise and the second week doing a simulation test every day and then further practising on the areas I did badly on.
My medify scores were: VR, QR, AR Test 1 : 670, 600, 570 Test 2 : 650, 630, 700 Test 3 : 650, 700, 650 Test 4 : 700, 600, 730
During the real exam I messed up VR I knew it and was ready to concede defeat. Luckily there is the new section straight after, I'd recommend using this time to try and get some composure for the last sections as nerves definitely ruined my VR section.
Hope this can be used to help others who are yet to take the test
Congratulations on your amazing result
For VR did you get a lot of inference questions such as "which of the following statements is most likely to be true..."? because I find these types of questions to be time consuming and from the official mocks there only seems to be a handful amount of them(ranging from about 6 to12 per mock) compared to Medify. So, I was thinking maybe I should triage these and go to questions with keywords in them to be more efficient with time. Is this a good idea?
I wish you all the best with your medicine application!

There were quite a few to begin with, I think there was at least one or two per passage for the first 3 or so. I then had a few true, false, can't tell questions and then there were mainly keyword type questions. I had to just guess the last 10 questions as I had run out of time so cant really remember them!
VR: 640 (Very time consuming and much harder than medify) QR: 830 (Easy questions, but many of them took 3-4 steps which was frustrating) AR: 820 (I think there were lots of partial patterns, so even though I got the main patterns, I didn't get all the questions correct). SJT: 2
Average: 763
Resources used: Kaplan 2-day course and online resources, Medify and Official mocks
I know of course the average score will go up, even if by only a small amount. My fear is that it will be substantially higher given that we had one less section to practise for.

Well done, great results! Seems like you were better in the Medify mocks for VR. But in the other sections you did better in real, which i guess is the most important!. Good luck with your application!**

I doubt the averages are going to go up significantly. The only time it has was when the DA section (which we didn't do) skyrocketed scores in 2013. If it goes up, it won't be anything much to worry about. The average for the three sections last year (excluding DA) was 634 which may climb to 640ish this year at the most but not any higher but I can't see it being even that high!

I think if you discount the current mean (taking midpoints of each score bracket) by the usual amount that TSR differs to the UKCAT published amounts (60ish) we are looking at around 645 average at the moment. If you reckon that the average trends down a bit towards the end, I don't think we are looking at much of an increase. Obviously all we can do is speculate though...!

I think at the moment, the sample size is still not big enough to create a hypothetical average I think once we get to mid September we can see how big (or small) the increase is. As you said, we can only speculate right now! But still, 645 is muuuuch less than whatever it was in 2013!

Wow that's amazing!!!
My AR scores are terrible? Is medify good for that?
Also, for the QR is the test similar to medify or harder or easier?
I smedify the only thing you used to revise? And how long did you take to revise for the test in honesty because I think I am in trouble
So worried, doing so badly, please help :'
Any other advice or info about how the test was etc?
Thanks so much and great score, absolutely stunning!
When is your test and how are your scores looking currently?
Don't know what else to use to revise? What are you using?
SO SCARED
Hey, I got 763 in the real thing. The 1000q book is wayyyy harder than the actual thing. Being overprepared is good, but you'll start forgetting the simple patterns.
Just stick to medify, make sure you do all the mocks and work on your weaknesses.
Verbal is quite difficult in the actual test, whereas QR and AR are fairly straightforward.
