580 in VR and AR and 830 in QR. I had really been struggling with QR up until the last day. Just make sure you have percentage change nailed
what was your AR strategy ?

I had ones like where each section of a girls day (Anna) is in degrees so for example television was 45 degrees. Calculate the time Anna watched television for.
ahhh so you do 45/360 x by ... what do u multiply it by?
General tips? Especially with timing. Thanks

Yeah so 45/360 because of the angle. You would then multiply by 24 as it is the number of hours in a day and the question refers to 'Anna's' breakdown of activities each DAY. Some asked for a week in which case you would know what to do
How can i improve my VR score?? I am findin it so difficult

AR felt easy but turned out to bed bad (600) so don't take my advice!
VR passages were actually short. My friend sat the test the day before me and said the exact same thing. We both also said our questions were complex. Do medify timed practice and speed reading practice things. You will get 3 T/F/CT or 4 if you are lucky. Questions will be on topics you won't know much about unless you are lucky but doun't count on it!
Please guys who have done the UKCAT already, could you give us some tips on comprehension and AR in general as they are the ones I am struggling on, especially the timing. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

ahhh on medify timed practice im getting 22/40 which is my highest score so far in VR ..
how did you approach the reading comprehension style questions? did you eliminate options or use another method
Has anyone else noticed that on UCAS for liverpool A100 it says that you need to take the Ukcat AND the Gamsat. Must be a typo but its still slightly concerning.
are there many questions in QR that need standard form?

I would guess and flag all except the T/F/CT ones if I saw a short passage or question I would do them all the way. Limit yourself to at least 3 mins on the T/F/CT ones so you can go over the rest. Tbh I am happy with 600 in verbal so 560 wasn't bad for me in the exam. My highest has been 700+ but you got this. MOVE THE F**K ON AFTER 3 MINS. Ideally it should be 2 but if you are really struggling then make it 3

ahhh ok! are u doing BMAT?
Well done to everyone who has done the UKCAT! I wish you all the best with your med applications.
Just a question. Medify QR seems very calculator heavy compared the official pearson vue practice sets.
How the the real exam compare in terms of calculator use?
Cheers,

Hey Guys,
I am a graduate with a 1st in BSc Biomedical Sciences and just waiting for MSc results. A levels were terrible.
Did my UKCAT and got:
VR 530
QR 670
AR 700
SJ Band 1
Average of 633 :/ Not sure if this is good enough for either GEM or 5 year course?

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could provide my friend some advice regarding which universities would best suit her stats. Any advice would be much appreciated.
First in Podiatry Degree
UKCAT Avg 690 and band 1 in SJT.
