UKCAT for 2018 Entry Discussion

Do the AR sections usually have one rule like even number of shapes or are other rules usually snuck in such as even number of shapes, there is always at least one circle and one black shape?

Thanks! What a relief.
There's just a lot to read in the tables and its quite time consuming.

Btw do you have any tips for AR- I just never seem to find the pattern

It isn't til the 28th of September but I'm so worried already like I got the results I need (Scottish applicant) and don't want this one exam to mess up my chances haha. Did you use the ISC book cos I've been looking at that and the VR and SJT is ok but the QR and DM (haven't checked out AR) are difficult for me :/
I really wanted to sit this in the summer hols but I was working for 5 weeks in the summer then went away for the last week so didn't feel comfortable going in with basically no prep.
I was kindly given the 2016 kaplan strategy book which is ok for AR, VR, SJT and QR is a bit better in it.
On another note - has anyone started writing their personal statement (I haven't!)

Is decision making easier than what is in the ISC 1250 book? I'm ok with the syllogisms and is this argument ok questions but suck at the logic ones and riddles!

also does anyone have any advice for the keyword approach. I can never find them in the long passages. Maybe is should quickly scan the passage and then look so i understand how it is structured. This should allow me to look in the right place for the keyword I think. Any tips?

Second ukcat mock

VR-650

DM-700

QR-600

AR-700

SJT- Band 2

Question what are the verbal reasoning paragraphs like? from people who have actually done the test.
thanks

I took my UKCAT test on the 1st August and I got:

VR: 700
DM: 760
QR: 890
AR: 720
SJT: Band 2

AVG: 767.5

I am most surprised with my score in QR, as that was the section I struggled with the most when practicing. I was aiming for 650 average and didn't expect much higher than that so I was pleasantly surprised. I used medify and the 1250 UKCAT Q's prep book. I spent about 2 weeks revising, spending at least a couple of hours per day

Hi!
Congrats on your UKCAT score, it's impressive! I'm hoping to acheive around 690 above, I'm currently using medify and just wanted to ask how the DM qs are compared to the real thing, (easier/harder?) and AR. I've heard these sections are harder in the real thing and it's really starting to worry me as I'm not doing so great! Also, for QR what sorts of calculations should I know how to do eg. percentage change etc, and are the passages for VR longer.
Thanks

does anyone else find the QR questions on the UKCAT website super difficult???? Medify QR was nothing compared to this ((((
