So it's 4 station multiple mini - can anyone think of topics each station might address? I think there will be a station that looks at eithics, maybe one that focuses on communication. Anyone else any ideas?
Does anyone know if last year they staggered the contact about interviews? I think it would be strange for them to do them all at once when there are choices to be made, and I think in previous years its had been spread out, but not sure

I'm not sure but I think it would be unfair on the people that were invited later as they wouldn't have as long to prepare. All the interviews are on Monday and there is a total of 48 (there are 6 time slot sand as far as I'm aware 8 per slot). There were quite a lot filled when I went to book. You could give them a ring though...

A lot of reading just! I saw they've removed decision analysis from UKCAT this year. I'm so happy about that, hate that section!!

I have already done the ukcat and got an average to good score so hoping I can use that. Yeh you still have to do the section but the results won't go to universities. It was one of my favourite sections lol

The year before that was something like 745 so could be worse :/ I have got nearly 680 so I'm hoping it counts if I get an offer :smile:
