Which UKCAT and BMAT book would you recommend?

If you have done your UKCAT and BMAT exams... which revision books did you find best and how did you revise?
(edited 9 years ago)
I failed to revise for the UKCAT (..error) but I did revise a bit for the BMAT. Just used my old CGP science guides from GCSE to re-cap for the sciences section and then used this book, which was fine:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/171359390069?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108&ff19=0

Also this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Thinking-Skills-Cambridge-University-Press/dp/0521521491/ref=pd_sim_b_29?ie=UTF8&refRID=1TPXTE2FG4S2KK47XXDS

Which was pretty helpful because my mathematical thinking skills need some significant coaching!
For the UKCAT: 600Q book, and then online resources. Medify is probably the single best resource in my three year's experience...

I don't know if this is too late but if your getting the 600Q UKCAT book get the one that says "how to get into medical school", it has a blue cover. Reason i say this is because there is also another 600Q book with a similar name but from hearing reviews, it is not that good.

GET: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Get-into-Medical-School-600-UKCAT-Practice-Questions-/130932059689?pt=Non_Fiction&hash=item1e7c28ae29

AVOID: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HOW-TO-MASTER-THE-UKCAT-600-PRACTICE-QUESTIONS-MIKE-BRYON-9780749468217-/151103202178?pt=UK_Books_EducationalTextbooks_EducationalTextbooks_GL&hash=item232e73e382


Yep, I saw that there was a copy of the 600Q book and so I checked and bought the right one.
Thanks :smile:

I still haven't done my UKCAT or BMAT exam yet, any suggestions on which book will be excellent for helping me and perhaps other sites that are able to guide me through exam practice questions?
