Bristol is the only really PS heavy uni left.
Keele and Manchester require good voluntary work for their non-academic forms.

Other schools which consider the personal statement and grade it include edinburgh, nottingham.

Ahh okay. Thank you. I'm applying for Edinburgh. My grades at school are high. My UKCAT is average but I'm going to go for it anyway. :smile:

Appreciate the advice. :smile:

Did anyone use kaplan to prepare? If so, how does it compare to the real test?

I used kaplan online - the QR is similar to the exam, if a little harder, AR is very similar however VR was a bit easier than the exam in my opinion

I'm finding the QR on kaplan harder than the Medify QR, if you don't mind me asking, what were your kaplan mock scores and real ukcat score?

Thanks for the reply!

My mock scores are a little embarrasing :s-smilie:

for most of them they were between 500 to 530 my highest ever I think was 550! I got 780 in the real thing and I did find QR very difficult on Kaplan even right before the exam. Keep on going with Kaplan, I do think it did prepare me despite me doing awful in mocks :smile:

Hi, please can anyone thinking of Manchester advise on the non-academic criteria. What defines as good experience in caring role i.e., tenure (months or years???)
