UKCAT for 2017 Entry to UK

I did my test yesterday and got 693 average.

VR: 500. The passages weren't any longer than medify for me but just had more paragraphs. Initially, I used the reading the question first and scanning for keywords approach during my practice but later got convinced into skimming the passages really quickly with alright comprehension and hoping for the best as I thought most of the questions were inference questions without any keywords. I was wrong obviously and should have used the former approach in hindsight. I was getting around 550 - 670 in mocks.

QR: 720. I was expecting QR to be straightforward and way easier from comments here but that was not the case for me at all. I'm pretty good at maths so I got 720 but they were not easy and I had to guess loads. I was getting around the same score in mocks.

AR: 860. Yeah really easy, there was only one set that I didn't manage to get which I subsequently skipped. I still had about 4 minutes to check all of the other questions tho. I was getting around 700 -750 in mocks.

SJT: Band 1. very easy. Read the good medical practice and just know stuff.

Not sure if it will be at all helpful but I have Medify for 3 more days which is just going to waste. I've done all the mocks but If you want the account to practice please PM me.

Having done mine two days ago, I would strongly recommend that you try to finish every section and have an answer for every question (even if some are guessed, that's fine), having some luxury time to look over some. Use the flag for review button for harder questions to go back to them if you've taken a guess. But yeah I think it's better if you get through them all and guess the hard ones if need to rather than attempt all of them and have to guess randomly the last 5-10 questions. Guarantees you more of the easy marks at least going through them all and trying those you can do first. Hope this helps!

Well done! Any advice on AR?

Anyone know how many true/false/cant tell sets they are in the real thing is it hopefully its the same as the mocks ive been doing which is always 4

Don't count the shapes first. Don't panic and try to just take 30s to find the pattern and around 5-10s per shape set!! If you find a basic pattern and feel like there might be more, just go with it for now and flag it if you have time, you might be able to find more factors at the end!

If I got Kaplan and did the 3 mocks from there would that be a good substitute for the ukcat ninja do you think?

Is the quant on UKCAT ninja similar to the real thing?

Its all about pacing yourself. The more you practice, the faster you'll get. Do as many as you can and guess the rest right at the end especially for VR. But know when to skip hard questions. No point wasting time on a hard question when you can easily do an easier one.

Ah fair enough. Cos on medify they often have those weird patterns with like 5/6 different conditions that throw you, like "odd number of shapes, more black than white, triangle and quadrilateral present and circle is striped" or something like that 😂, congrats on your score once again

This is completely unrelated to the thread, but I love your profile pic. Suit is the showw!

Hi

How much would you recommend revising a day before the actual exam if the exam is in the morning the next day and you have the whole previous day. I have a 1 medify mock and 2 UKCAT mocks left. What would be a good option in your opinion?

Nice!

I am so screwed for Abstract! Please help with that section at all?

Well done! Any advice on AR?

Your AR score is insane lol. Medify are killing me with their patterns ffs. Hope the actual exam isn't as bad.
