UCAT

My UCAT exam is in 3 weeks and I have been revising properly for a week and I am only getting scores of 2300-2400-2500 when I want to get much higher. Are my score expected to be this low? I have done pretty much all of the mini-mocks on medify and seem to stick around the same score with a slow progressive increase since I started. I just bought medentry and was wondering honestly what everyone else is getting/ got around this time before there exam and if I should start revising even more?

If I were you, I would probably consider postponing the exam by a couple of weeks. It makes sense to get low scores initially, but ideally you'd like to be doing better this close to the exam. So about 5 weeks of prep on top of the week you've already done seems like enough time to improve. If your scores aren't improving, perhaps you should consider how you're revising. More often than not, doing a ton of questions every day isn't the best way to progress. There are plenty of youtube videos and Medify tutorials that talk about the technique that comes with answering each type of question and different strategies to use.
