Ah thanks, that's reassuring; my strongest is always verbal so that's okay(Original post by erinls2)
The AR was fairly similar I found, the quant in the real thing was easier in my opinion, verbal a bit harderlast year i got 550 on AR and QR, dreading it now

VR is killing me
Is it possible to get a good mark whilst you run out of time 3/4 of the way through? -

oh my looord i really hope the QR isn't as difficult as the QR in official mock A! i got 11/36
I just cannot do QR!
Which sucks cuz I am am doing maths and further maths A levels and have never really had a problem with either...
Is anyone going to have a good go at decision making or just skip through it? I want to have a go,but don't want to tire myself out either... -

Hey guys,
congrats to those who have already done the UKCAT
I have a few questions,
1. Is it not possible to bring in your own calculator because when I do QR tests I run out of time because it takes so long to press buttons on computer screen
2. any tips for how to make sure you do all qs in timed conditions especially QR
3. I know we are given a booklet for working out, is the space limited or can we use as much as we want.
please answer!!

With practice, you should be able to do questions quicker, and be able to do them all. However, you do not need to do all the questions to be able to do well. Focus on doing doing of the questions correctly, as opposed to rushing through them all and performing badly as a result.
You can ask for extra booklets, but you have 6 sides of A4 paper, so it should be enough. -

You're not allowed your own calculator, however, you can use the keyboard for the onscreen calculator. Just make sure that Num Lock is turned on, so you can use the Numpad.

Yes. I found the passages much longer and harder (especially the 8th mock) but they've helped in my VR substantially as I just got my first 800 for it (was previously getting between 670-700). The AR and QR are generally at the same difficulty as 1-6. I would personally get it for the VR.
Was the UKCAT plus book itself any good? How long did it take to come as my exam is in 12 days. I have already spent quite a bit on Medify and of course the Kaplan course already, in addition to two ukcat books (ISC & Kaplan), but from the jump you got in VR it seems worth it!
When's your UKCAt and what else have you used? I might give Medic Portal a try as I have used most of the practice questions for AR and most of VR on Medify. -

Which resource would you say is most representative for AR, because I'm getting 700s for AR in Medify and Kaplan but I don't know whether the questions are too easy. Also, what scores were you getting in your Kaplan mocks? -

erm i'd say Medify. I'd say that the medify AR has a mix of easy and hard and as long as you're getting most of the hard ones right and getting in the 700s im sure you'll be fine. In my Kaplan I was getting 600's and in one i even got 500! In medify I was getting slightly higher -

Wow great score, and btw how representative is Kaplan of the real test? I've been getting between 700-747 on the Kaplan mocks, not sure how realistic this actually is -

Yeah but don't just neglect verbal - that was my mistake! Was getting up to 750 in practice sessions but only got 610 on the day! Averaged at 713 though so it was ok in the end XD
