Medify and do all the exam papers. But do this after trying out the questions in the practice exam bank . I also recommend dr ashley hinton or something he has some good videos on YouTube and I think he also has a course for UCAT I’m not sure. He gives tips and tricks etc

also passmedicine is free

Honestly, I know it’s on the pricier side and not everyone can afford it - but if you can - a tutor is definitely something I’d recommend. It makes everything easier when someone who’s already done it can walk you through and give you the resources they used, tips to do with speed and time management. Good luck! You’ll do great, just don’t panic!
