Original post by medicinemaniac
ah that's great advice, thank you soo much! yeah ive been preparing since the beginning of august, how did you find AR?

With AR the more practise you do the easier it gets. It was defo the section that I practised most for as I got terrible scores at the beginning. I found it okay and there were only a few that I couldn’t do but just do instincts and where it seems right.

I did one day of practise questions for the UKCAT and did some mini-mocks in Medify and got 600 in AR and VR. Is this good or bad. Can I get 700 in 3 weeks time (when my exam is?)

You’ve got ages lol you’ll be fine- especially with AR, the more you do, you’ll suddenly get loads better
I hate QR, maths is my weakest subject -.-

It's a bit of a sticky one as the thing is for me, QR is not hard but the timing is ludicrous, the calculator is really bad and keeps moving every time I click in the numbers lol

Likewise with DM, why is this section the easiest for most people lmao. It's the most time pressured. When do you have your exam?

Please vote and I’ll try make a bell curve with the scores at like the beginning of September.
Also, can you guys also post your averages as well as voting so that everyone gets a better idea of the most common scores rather than just the ranges


These are my scores:

VR - 650
DM - 690
QR - 670
AR - 750
SJT - Band 2
Average - 690

6th september. How long have you revised for so far? SJT is calm, but I think that you can't improve in VR (can in the other sections), you either good at it or not :s-smilie:
Unless you get lucky on the day lol

believe it or not, you actually can improve, VR requires practise and a technique that works for u imo but i feel the same for QR i feel like ure either good at it or not :colonhash:
I havent been revising consistently nor have I done any mocks loool... -.- but when i revise i usually try and concentrate on 2 sections without being timed till i feel like i improved then go time myself on them

omg your exam is quite far lool, how you prepping for the exam?x

I mean, from tomorrow onwards I have three weeks left to the exam and planning to do 8-10 hours everyday because I really want to get a good score. I’ve brought uniadmissions book, Medify, UKCAT ninja, ISC, mastering then UKCAT but can’t go through it all lol. I’m planning to do every mock in those books in the last week (there’s about 20). But I’m really stressing out as the mini mocks aren’t going amazingly on Medify, the questions aren’t hard for any of the sections, the timing is the problem. I used medic mind and it wasn’t so good with techniques. I don’t know about VR, keep getting 600s.😭⚫️

Rush what? 1250Q for QR is quite easy, medify is so much harder lol. Haven't attemped mocks other than for AR and VR and got 600s. Got 650 in VR but I guessed half. Whats bad with uniadmissions- haven't tried it yet? :smile:
