4 A* 5A and a B at GCSEs.
A* (bio) A* (chem) A (math, off by one mark for a*) in a levels.
I'm not gonna lie, the a levels were a big step up for gcse's but definitely doable. I got an A in bio at gcse and improved it at a level, so dont be put down and think its impossible. For a levels, my advice would be do as many past papers as you can. Try and finish revision 1.5 months before exams start and then hit the past papers hard. For sciences, have a read through revision guide days before the exam (and read the textbooks completely before you start past paper practice).

Applied to Barts (Queens Mary), Glasgow and Bristol. Got rejection from bristol pre interview and from barts and glasgow post interview, so kings was my only dentistry offer (and biomed at UCL but i didnt want that).

Nice - I'm already at university so was just asking you questions that others would probably want to know the answer to. Congratulations and hope you enjoy it!

Hi,
Thanks for sharing the info. I'm applying for uni 2018 entry and I'd love to join King's. Just wanted to ask, can you still get into king's for dentistry even if you don't get the required grades. Even if it is through a foundation year or through biomedical sciences.
Also, I will be sitting my UKCAT exam soon and I have a huge problem with the timing. I know I can answer most of the questions but not in the limited time provided. I'm kind of a slow person in answering questions. Do you have any advice for the UKCAT?
Once again thanks for the info and good luck with uni!

With UKCAT, i'll recommend doing time practice on Medify. For VR, i found it best to read the question then skim the passage looking for info i need. Only sometimes you will get the information directly. A lot of the times it will be implied. For QR, try and do most of the calculations in mind and dont use calculator too much, that way it will be faster. So it's worth going over times tables to sharpen your mental maths. Also, you can use computer keyboard to operate claculator instead of pressing buttons on the calculator provided. For QR, you can sometimes estimate and either find the right answer or eliminate a few that are wrong straight away. For AR, just do as many as you can and get familiar with the patterns. Look for different kind of shapes, patterns within shapes, number of shapes, the position of shapes and such. If you cant find a pattern, just guess and move on rather than spending too much time on it (and that goes in general, if its taking too long to find the answer then just guess and move on. I know they have a flagging option if you want to return back to the question but that just wastes more time, so dont bother with that in my opinion).
Good luck!

For maths, just do as many questions as you can. Do international papers too if you got time. For Bio, use textbook and the small cgp revision guide as recap, and again do as many past paper qs. For chem, use this book
https://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Level-C...a60640600838a2
Theres a Year 2 one as well. For past paper questions, use this:
