UKCAT for 2017 Entry to UK

It depends on how long you spend revising. What's good in Medify is you get to see your week areas (for AR and the rest). I personally cannot comment on 1000Q but I used 600Q which had complicated patterns like: if then else or if then... From what I've read here, it looks like 1000Q is similar to 600Q.
Check out the UKCAT 2016 thread. People have mentioned tips for identifying the pattern like counting the objects, shapes, colours, angles, etc.

Edinburgh might be risky unless you have amazing grades to boost your application score. Because people who apply usually have really high UKCAT scores.

That's literally the same as me! I'm thinking to stay away from UKCAT heavy unis and probs to attempt the BMAT although lol it seems really hard.. My uni choices at the moment are Bristol, Leeds (BMAT), Edinburgh and Southampton

I have 7A*s and 3As at GCSE and predicted A*AAA for A2 - do you think that's good enough idk it might be pretty average..

100% avoid southampton they are well known as a very UKCAT heavy med school. As well having a low UKCAT and SJT band 2 will drop you a lot of points at Edinburgh, and it will probably drop you below the cut off score for an offer (its so so so competitive its ridiculous). Aim is dont apply anywhere if you think you will make an average application there, that isnt the point.

Leeds and bristol looking like a nice choice, the issue is your UKCAT is on the average for the past few years, but that may change heavily (especially considering there has been a loss of one section). My advice is have a good look around at each medical school and see how the value UKCAT scores (whether they have a cut off etc.) but beware as your UKCAT will drag you down in pre-interview scoring pretty much everywhere so look for places which dont take it into account heavily. With your academic and UKCAT score I would possibly consider doing 2 BMAT universities, a lot of the BMAT universities will look favourably upon your academics.

Don't worry too much about it! I had a lower score than you on Medify but when I did my UKCAT last year I ended up with 680 average over all Just keep practising and you'll get there in the end!

Hi Isabella

You still have lots of time so it is great that you are already taking your UKCAT prep seriously. As I am sure you are already aware, the more you practise, the better you will become!

You are definitely taking the right approach by setting time aside now and in the weeks leading up to your test date rather than trying to cram right before. I am sure this will all pay off in your score.

I thought you might be interested in reading this blog which is all about why it is so important to keep on practising. Hopefully it will reassure you that all your hard work will be worth it!

Do let me know if you have any questions I can answer... always happy to help.

Well done, what resources did you use? Keele, Barts, Edinburgh, not sure about others

Nope, on the Keele site it states that SJT band 4 won't meet entry requirements.


On a completely different note,

Does anyone have QR and VR advice? Any particular resources apart from Medify and the ISC/kaplan book? I can somehow manage time for QR by skipping the harder questions but my time management goes down the drain for VR...

I know what you're trying to do but TSR is hardly representative of the whole cohort. And people lie on here.

Hey,
How do you get like this numbe((570-650)? Do you calculate or the website give to you when you do the practice questions??

Thanks

Thanks

Quick question guys, and sorry it's about the 1000Q book.
The VR: I understand it's going to be long, hard and difficult on the test, I have my strategies and so far (slowly) they are working. Still not expecting a great score though.
AR: I understand this just takes practice, practice practice. Mostly to get in the habit of pattern recognition.

Here's the question. With the QR in 1000Q, I can do them. Nearly all of them. However, it takes me about 3-4 minutes on the harder questions. Even on the easier ones it's 1-2 minutes sometimes. Does everyone have this problem with the QR in the 1000Q book? What is the QR like in this book in comparison to the actual UKCAT.

Sorry for another boring question about the ISC material. I just don't want to feel like I am the only one suffering with this book!

That's exactly what I said

Is the abstract mini mock on medify representative? I got 630 which is disappointing.

Everyone seems to be getting high 700's - low 800's this year - is this normal?

What was the duration of it?

55Q in 13 mins same as real thing
