UKCAT for 2018 Entry Discussion

For anyone who has done the UKCAT, what would you say in AR was the relative number of times each type of question would pop up, namely:

1. Set A/B
2. Complete the series
3. If X is to Y, then Z is to.....

Thanks!

did my ukcat today, got 725 average, band 1. I'm applying as a graduate so not sure where I should look, any ideas?

A/B 60%
Complete series 30%
X is to Y 10%
But this could vary as it's a randomised test

i did it today and got 615 average and band 4 idk how band 4, in practice i kept doing really well and would get band 2. im doing bmat but wanna apply to ukcat unis aswell to split it up. I got 5a* and 5a and one C in IGCSE and international AS i got AAAB in maths bio chem and geo B was in bio but resitting and should hopefully get an A overall (only resitting unit 3), so what unis do u reckon i can apply to with a good shot of getting in? and would i get into manchester uni or bristol?

My test is in 2 days and on medify my mock score progressively gets worse so I am so worried.

I'm also nervous about DM as medify can only give a range score. Could anyone tel me how the actual UKCAT test compares to medify's DM?
VR I seem to get around 600 and I feel like thats too low because in the test I'll be nervous and I think that would slow me down with reading even more :/
QR is a bit of a mess and i've heard a mixed opinion on how people scored in relation to their mocks so overall i'm really worried.

I currently feel prepared enough for AR and SJT and thats about it.

If anyone has advice that would be great.

DM was for me similar if not very slightly harder in the real thing.
VR just try practising skimming the text before picking up the key terms from the questions.
QR for me was much much easier I scored around 300 more than I expected
Same for AR ^

Thanks for the advice. Wow congrats on the higher than expected score- that's so reassuring

Oh thank you so much - yeah that's very true but to standardise it as much as possible I think the variations will only be small ones perhaps

Just took the UKCAT today:

VR: 630
DM: 730
QR: 800
AR: 850
SJT: Band 1
(Average 752.5, Overall 3010)

Good luck to anyone who's yet to take the exam!

UKCAT : 578 Band 3 😩 GCSEs: 4A*s 3 As 3 Bs A level predictions : AAA Strong personal statement with 2 weeks work experience in dental surgery and 1 in orthodontic practice This is straight after my UKCAT so I'm very disheartened Many thanks🤓 I heard the UKCAT unis just say they make up for poor
GCSEs and don't rank you like medicine do (dentistry by the way)

hey,

if you dont mind, can you give us some tips as to what resources you used and how you prepared?

thanks

yeah so i mainly used medify for about 3-4 weeks and kaplan questions and the official UKCAT questions/mocks. I also used themedicportal for like a week and a tiny bit of the 1250 question book. I did like 11 mocks too.

I thought that VR was really hard in the real thing compared to medify, because the passages were longer and quite confusing, i only got 590 in this section

DM on medify is way easier in the exam too so i would advise using the 1250 question book to practise. i thought i would do better but i only got 620.

QR was really easy in the exam compared to everywhere else. In practise i never got above 650 but in the real thing i got 810

AR was easy and similar to medify in my opinion, this was my best section as i got 880.

Even with band 3 SJT
