UKCAT in 3 days done no revision or practice

Soooo I just got back from holiday last night and these are the reasons I had no practice done:

- No internet connection
- Forgot my 600Q book

It's the 24th today and my UKCAT is set for 27th

Am I screwed? Does practicing even help THAT much? Really? Should I even bother now?

(btw I have this IDGAF anymore attitude since my AS levels aren't up to the medical school standards, I am completely lost, IDK what to do or how to go from BBC to AAA or how to even be predicted AAA in upcoming 2 months of school - if you could give some advice I would greatly appreciate it - I was considering applying 3 medical uni's and 2 psychology uni's with an all medical P.S)

anyway the only practice I did do was one online test after my exams where I got:


VR - 518
QR - 383
AR - 529
DA - 557

I am terrible at maths like really bad I got a B in GCSE (taught myself because I had a crappy teacher and a crappy class)

thanks!

If you have an "I don't give a ****" attitude then nothing we say will do much. So change that first of all.

Going from BBC -->AAA Graft your ass off like never before in college and resit some modules to get your grade up. It is definitely possible. I went from ABB -----> AAA.


If you get predictions of around BBC and are still serious about becoming a doctor then look at Foundation Medicine courses.

Reschedule your UKCAT and move the date further along, if this isn't possible then try get through as much of that book possible in these 3 days. Do not waste any time at all.

Then don't bother cramming. Do nothing at all, or do whatever you want to do. You'll do badly, but YDGAF. If you actually want to go from BBC to AAA, try dividing up the work into small, manageable chunks, and put them into a list. Make it so that you can tick something off the list after about fifteen minutes of effort - perhaps divide it into "topic read", "questions done" etc. It's quite motivational, ticking things off lists, but you need to be able to do it frequently - hence small chunks.

Yes practicing does help. It's not revision as such but makes you familiar with the style and type of questions.

AS grades can always be improved.

If really do want to do well you will have to change the IDGAF attitude.

I don't want to reschedule - I want it over and done with, this whole UKCAT and AS results day stress has made me have way more anxiety attacks that I can handle I seriously want it all over, so I guess I will just practice as much as possible in the next 2 days
