BMAT section 3 preparation

Hi,

For those who have sat the BMAT, I was wondering how you could possibly prepare for the section 3 essay question? I have checked the sample specimen paper on the official website and I could answer none of the questions... do you have to read a lot in advance to prepare for it? The statements just seemed totally random and unmedically related...

Thanks

No, you don't have to read a lot in preparation for it ... or at least not any more than you're already doing for interviews (and I remember refering to something that happened in work experience). There's no set thing you're expected to say in answer to any question, just a general awareness of medically related issues and/or a logically thought out arguement, whatever conclusion you reach. The questions are quite structured. I would read the official BMAT book - that has a very good chapter on section three.

You can walk in with good logical thinking and walk out with 9, I'd imagine working on timing, reading wider might give you enough material for 12...although much depends on the questions you get on the day.
