UCAT (formerly UKCAT) 2021 entry discussions megathread [Part 1 of 2]

I saw some shortcuts to move to the next question and flag questions and stuff but i can't seem to do that on medify at the moment. Can anyone tell if they were useful at all in the exam and how they adjusted to using the keys?

Do you know if you can still check this now for the 8th of August. I’ve tried contacting customer service and they have told me they will try get back to me in 5 business days but I think I will just call them up on Monday.

How hard is the 1st Medify mock compared to the actual UCAT?
I did it recently and want to know how accurate it is. I know factors like the stress on exam day can't be properly simulated.

Close-ish. Mock 3 and 4 were very similar to my actual scores last year! But everyone is different.

As of right now, 8th Aug is available only in the morning (AST)

Is it an extreme overestimate?
Thanks

For me, it wasn't extremely! And the other mocks were either underestimate or very close but 3 and 4 were the most representative for me. Only thing is, I always got Band 1 on Medify last year then got Band 3 in the real thing, that wasn't representative at all but I may be the odd one out because I haven't seen anyone else whos experienced that

Hello guys. i have a question which is. What do you find the best way to do the vr section is. i see a lot of people reading the question and then skimming for answers. also what do you think is the section that needs most revision.

Hey guys,
Does anyone know where I can find probability questions to practice or what year/level I should practice as I suck at them

your first question about VR has been asked and answered a few times in the UCAT thread here https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=6282054&p=89641018&page=129#post89641018 (which you are now in !!!!!)
the second question is really a personal thing that no one else can really answer other yourself cause we are all different one person may enjoy a section that you despise and want to end as quickly as possible
sorry that didn't directly answer your questions but hope I helped (a bit)

yeah i experienced this , i was getting band 1 on medify and then I got Band 4 in the real thing, it because I didn't go over the theory of it

did you still get offers despite getting band 4? im really worried this will happen to me

It is horribly luck and practice based, I'd say a bigger emphasis on luck.
Last year when I sat my UCAT, my computer froze and I lost testing time. I didn't get to redo that section or redo the test or get a bump up or anything. When my computer was restarted, the test immediately continued from where I left off, although the minutes were ticking off still, even during the freeze. They provided an annotation with my score saying I lost testing time and it may have affected my score.
