Hello, well done to everyone on their results!

I just sat my UKCAT today and got 770 average.
VR: 610
QR: 800
AR: 900

I used UKCAT Ninja, Medify and the Offical UKCAT practice questions and tests.


If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask!

Good luck to everyone

Hi everyone,
For everyone who has done the test, how much do the kaplan mocks and medify mocks represent the actual exam and which ones? I have my exam next sat and I'm soo scared because im getting only in the 500-600's overall in the mocks im doing, so any tips would be helpful? Please reply.
Thanks xx

Will getting BAND 3 in SJT be a disadvantage?? hope not

esc on actual exam

I'd say not to push it back, only because you're just going to stress yourself out so much (like I did), how much revision have you done? I think if you've done roughly 2 weeks revision or 30 ish hours then you're fine to complete the exam. As for work wise, could you take time off work? And college, well I came back to school on the 5th and my exam was on the 8th, but even though I was given loads of work to do I ignored it until I completed the exam and then played the "catch up game"

Ypu are like my opposite!!!!!!! I really struggle with QR and AR please helpme? How hard are they compared to medify? How do you know when to guess and go for QR? Tricks to make it shorter? Help finding patterns for AR!!!!! Congrats BTW

Does anyone know if 2110 (703 average) would be good enough for the UKCAT heavy universities - i.e. KCL and Newcastle? I remember reading that the KCL cutoff was 735 one year, and it seems that everyone's getting good scores this year

Hi,

I only did the medify mocks and I can say, for me at least, that they were a bit harder than the actual exam. I didn't break 700 on the mocks, but got 740 in the actual exam despite having a cold and getting harder VR questions than I was used to.

I would say something important is not to stress out too much Easier said than done, I know, but it is important for the actual test. Not being stressed lets you focus more and get into the UKCAT rhythm during the exam.

For VR, definitely learn to skim-read the passages if you haven't already and for t/f/ct questions I found it really helpful to read the question first. However, for the other type of multiple choice, I read the whole passage and made note of where each of the key points was. For QR, skip anything you think will take longer than 40 seconds, this will help you answer every question within the time limit (even if it is a guess) and give you more time for the easy-peasy questions. AR I'm trash at, so don't ask me. SJ is the same as AR aha.

Hope that helps you! And stay chilled out

To what universities should I apply to if I got a score of 1810? Although it is not a very good score at all, I have very good predicted grades and work experience.

Thank you !
