hey im a y13 prospective med student
good luck on ur ucat, i will be following ur progress
also if u need any help pls ask me ive been thru the whole process
some useful youtube channels: emileddyucat i used also just search ucat on youtube and a lot of videos and tips will come up

i have a thing against medify lool
basc i used medify for my UCAT test, its good, the question bank is hard, way harder than the real thing for some sections e.g AR and other sections. so pls dont get bogged down cuz medify is known for the harder qs and more stringent marking

use more than one resource passmedicine is free and its got alot of UCAT mocks
if u can get medentry or do the trial for it some ppl say it more accuratley reflected the ucat
get the isc get into medical school UKCAT book i think that really helped me with vr and pattern spotting in ar
also make sure u are very familiar with the sections for me i stayed doing untimed for a while
the official ucat resources on their website are the most accurate in my opinion to the real question bank so save those till the end.

i rescheduled my acc ucat test maybe 3 times because i was so nervous and felt unprepared i didnt get high enough and didnt do much timed mocks but came out really proud with my result
good luck!!! wishing u all the strength and proud of ur score uv only just started dont feel demotivated u progress

Also booked my UCAT first thing this morning for 9th of august so serious revision time gonna do a dm mock when I get home as that was the worst session on my first mock wish me luck

OP

Did DM mock I did some questions timed 15 mins got a score of 12/20 0.6 not to bad from where i was coming from obviously but would be a scaled score of 540 so above the first score in mock (used pass med as suggested) got score of 650 58.6% so may not be entierly accurate so from 527 - 650 (either score is a mega improvement to me as i was struggling with the section) To improve gonna do more subject specific mocks and also start UCAT REVISION from around 6am in the morning so I can get used to the time for my 8AM EXAMMM.

Tomorrow gonna do a AR medify and VR MOCK passmed AND MAYBE A MEDIFY DM MOCK

I am seeing some improvement which is the main thing atp in time and my overall score seems to be increasing gonna do vr and qr mocks soon then do specialised checks on subtopics i really struggle with

•

ar score fell done felt harder on passmed i struggled and felt less confident may have been due to mindset though i do better in the morning gonna try to do more morning revision DO DID DM SO GONNA TRY TO WORK ON THAT AND CONSISTENCY/ACCURACY IMPROVEMENT

•

ALSO WATCHED SOME MEDENTRY VIDEOS CAUSE IM NOT GONNA BY IT SO THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE A GOOD WAY TO USE SOME OF THEIR RESOURCES
