UKCAT for 2017 Entry to UK

how long have people taken to prepare? I have roughly 5/6 full days going on holiday then come back for another 3/4 days. Are people taking like 3/4weeks to revise ?

Hello, well done to everyone on their results!

I just sat my UKCAT today and got 770 average.
VR: 610
QR: 800
AR: 900
Band 2

I used UKCAT Ninja, Medify and the Offical UKCAT practice questions and tests.


If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask!

Good luck to everyone

I found that a month was sufficient for revision. I also went on holiday in that month, and revised for an hour or so a day whilst I was on holiday. I'd recommend you do the same, so the techniques don't desert you due to you taking a break, but you're still able to enjoy yourself and whatnot. It might sound stupid, but this is your future and you can't afford to take a chance on it.

What was your score if you don't mind me asking?

I was pleasantly surprised to be honest! My technique was rather random initially. During my practice I had made a list of all the patterns that I came across and then just the night before looked over them. I did mentally kick myself for going to count as soon as see the pattern, but actually numerous of my patterns were number related as the basis for the rule.

Offical Mock A was horrific for me, scared me a little to do more. Can't remember what results I got, I'd have to check my spreadsheet.

Definitely recommend UKCAT Ninja and Medify for AR, books are not as effective for AR in my opinion.

This was for last year, but I got 702.5 (I think VR 760 QR 740 AR 660 and DA 650, can't remember exactly) and Band 3 haha. Nothing special but above average so I was happy. Got me interviews and offers at Kings, Cardiff and Birmingham for Dentistry, in addition to the other parts of my application.

Thank you. Did you use medify and if so what did you get in their mocks?

I have a few questions Is it worth buying the UKCAT Ninja susbcription? i only have 9 days left till my exam. I have used up all my medify questions apart from the mocks. I have some of the 600 question book left to finish and 2 UKCAT mocks left. Also what do you think i should do in these last 9 days build up to the exam? i manage to get 60% of the AR right, 70% of VR and 60% of QR on the prarctice tests

Hello - just wanted to ask, what did people get on their medify 2 mock ??? Thanks

Amazing score! I'd be so happy with that - well done My UKCAT is on the 20th and I'm also applying to do dentistry haha, I really hope it goes well

If you dont mind me asking, which schools actually don't look heavily at GCSE's and A-Levels?

Got 653 average in the mock.
VR: 630
QR: 600
AR: 730

Wasn't very representative I don't think, however, I could be wrong because to be completely honest all the mocks and what they were like have kind of all mushed up after doing so many.
