UCAT (formerly UKCAT) 2020 entry discussion

Which universities use SJT as a station of their MMI process? I’m just trying to work out where I might lose marks if I’m lucky enough to get an interview but end up not doing so well on the SJT section of the UCAT.

No, I couldn’t - I’m a graduate who lives in Scotland and can only afford to study in Scotland. Doesn’t really matter now whether I qualify when I’m 31, 32 or 33 🙈 but thanks!

But advice about UCAT compared to Medify:

VR: I wouldn’t say that passages were necesserily longer but definitely trickier.

DM: Bit more difficult in my opinion than Medify but the style of questions compared to mocks there on point.

QR: Much easier than Medify, a lot of percentages and simple calculations.

AR: Similar to Medify.

SJT: Bit “harder” than Medify. Also had questions with quotations asking what would be appropriate to say exactly.

And don’t get too hang up on the mock results - they don’t really mean much on the day!

Yeah you can. Just make sure before you start that ‘num lock’ is turned on

What scores did you get?

610, 610, 650, 630 and Band 1. 2490, 622.5.

Treating it as practice for next year - and won’t have to worry about interview a day after my wedding 😂

I was getting 840-670s in VR. Got 730 in mini mock this morning. But screwed it up in the real thing. Hence why my advice would be not to worry too much about mock results.

Hi

I guess its a bit late to reply, but do check out the website called " Pass medicine " U can google it. they have 3 free mocks and 5 practice tests for each section in the UCAT. I'm using that alongside Medify. Its an awesome source for free practice, u just have to create an account,, that's it.
Hope u find it helpful

Does anyone have any tips for the venn diagram questions where you have to choose the most appropriate Venn diagram given the information? Decision making section

I would say try to initially draw it by yourself based on the info given then select the one that matches your answer, I skip these questions initially then return to them to avoid wasting time on them.

Great! Thank you but what does 'num lock' do, why does it need to be turned on?

It turns on the number keypad on the right of the keyboard. When I first sat the UCAT I didn’t realise it wasn’t turned on for my keyboard until the very end of QR so throughout that whole section I had to manually click the number buttons because the numbers at the top took too long for me to type out. And because it took longer I ended up not finishing the QR section and had to guess a lot of the answers

I want to cry, english is my third language and the time for VR is nothing for me! Anyone has ANY advice of how to improve?
I am soo scared that because of the english I will mess it up...
DM same I feel sometimes that I have to break and FBI code rather than answering a question..

I need a way to get this sorted out. I don't want to give up but it makes me stressed
I am using MEDIFY is it good??????????
Some people told me not to use it as is not accurate

What is num lock???
