UKCAT for 2017 Entry to UK

If you find them hard tomorrow are you going to start reading them? I'm unsure what to do because I know they are going to be hard and not sure if what I normally do (skimming for the answer) will suffice.

Probably not tbh, I've stuck with skim reading for the past month so I don't think it would be wise to try out the other method in the actual exam! I don't think they'll be much harder than what we've done on Medify tbf, some of their passages are quite long. But you never know to be fair.

I hope that they are similiar in difficulty because i know my AR won't be amazing so I don't want 2 things dragging me down

Based on what people have told me, they found QR and AR easier than they did on Medify/mocks, especially QR. A lot of the AR patterns are easy to see in the exam (apparently)

I wouldn't really agree with not reading the passage first. I found that the questions tended to require a certain degree of certainty about your answers and that can be better achieved with reading the passage first. In my opinion, skim reading tends to result in you second guessing yourself especially when the options are similar. I managed to read most of the passages fully before answering. I only switched to skimming towards the end when i was short on time. I scored decently well for VR doing this

Also how much revision you doing today? I'm not sure what to do with myself tbh

Well trust me when i say this mine is probably one of the worst one out there. BAND 4 ON SITUATIONAL JUDGEMENT. (and apparently only psychopaths get band 4). All other sections 580s except for QR which i struggled most on before but got 620 which is still garbage i know but it was my best section. The thing that pisses me of the most is that i used to get minimum band 2 every mock i did on Situational judgement and then i completely screw it up in an actual exam.

two weeks, how are your practice analysis looking on medify, an how did you do on mocks??

700

When I do my test if I do decent then I'll be sure to post on here my mock scores, but at the minute they mean nothing as I've heard from pretty much everyone on this thread that mocks are harder than the real thing but in general I've been getting anywhere between 600-700. AR 64.4%, QR 61.1%, SJT 62.8%, VR 71.5% (some timed and some untimed but I've completed every stem). Hope this helps, you've got plenty of time to revise anyway.

how long have you been revising for? Do you skim read in VR too?

Recently sat my UKCAT and got:
VR: 530 (lol)........was always bad at this, was getting 570ish in the mocks, the texts were not insanely long but so hard to understand as it was mainly on 16th century history and politics in different countries
QR: 890.....was getting about 850ish in the mocks, tbh people say it was so easy but it really wasn't, it was just standard. Don't get complacent for this section, my mate came out with 600. It was a tad easier then medify. Overall just be quick at understanding the data and you'd be fine.
AR: 860.....found it quite easy, the same difficulty as medify. I guessed 5 questions in total as i couldn't figure out 1 set. Just remember scans. There were a lot of annoying sequences questions too about 6-7 i would say.
SJT: band 1
