So annoying, I'll try my best to get it sorted though as I couldn't think of anything worse than having to do an extra year of history 😂

No no, this time next year, you'd be at manchester uni ready for your PBL assignment in the morning......not writing essays about how some ship sank which killed the king so his son was the new king in like 1735!

What is the official calculator like? can i use my keypad and can i move it about and view the text?!


Like the one on the official UKCAT website! Press ALT+C to quicktime open it up, and then use the keyboard to put numbers in. Simples as long as you ensure number lock is on which is shown by the green light on the keyboard next to where it says "num lock"

What's the back space used for ?*
Do you know when you click of the calculator or go to the next question, does the calculator appear in the same place each time or does it appear where you left it? I always have to move it out of the way on the UKCAT mocks

It appears where you left it! I was scared about that too as it used to annoy me during mocks!

Got mine this afternoon, due to your consistent visitation on this thread I figured you'd be the best person to ask this- what did you take to the exam? Better still what should i take? Pens? what form of identification etc? Thanks for your help in advance :smile:x

Check your email confirmation to see what to bring for the exam in terms of ID as if it's wrong then you can't sit the exam! So check you have the right ID and don't forget it!! You aren't allowed pens,water, or even a hoodie with you. So make sure you dress warm-ish! Basically just bring you and your ID! Make sure you drink a bit before hand and eat but not too much! Definitely go to the toilet before you start the test as that's one less thing to worry about 😂Any belongings you bring, you can put them into a locker there! Good luck!!! X
