If you used Clearing in 2024, how did you find it?

Passmedicine Ucat

I was using passmedicine for my practice mocks in the beginning of my ucat prep journey, and I always came out with really bad scores, especially in quantitative reasoning.

I was reserving medentry for when I got closer to the exam date, and so I just recently purchased it, and I did a diagnostic full mock and scored highest in QR than all the other sections.

I want to know which one is more accurate because my results were ridiculously low on passmedicine scoring 430, but on medentry, it went up to 700 within the space of 4 days.

Maybe neither are any good?

I’m not too sure about passmed but I’ve heard medentry is harder than the real UCAT exam and that medify is closer in similarity apart from VR. Well done!

PS I also tried using passmed before and my scores were horrendous too in the 400 - 500 ranges but picked up when I started using medify

Hope that’s useful :smile:

Oh okay that makes me feel so much better thankss
Do you have any tips for qr. Turns out it really is one of my worse subjects (I think the diagnostic test was easier bc the rest of my scores after were all around 530)

Yeah got a few:

QR:

•

Don’t instantly skip long data ones as they may look scary but the questions that follow may be really simple

•

Be quick with the calculator, don’t waste time dividing by 100 for example in %

•

Do things mentally where possible

•

Make sure you ace the standalone questions which are usually at the end of the section so don’t try spend all your time on the sets of 4 since 1 set won’t even count

•

Brush up on your percentages, ratios, interest, area of shapes, some algebra, pie charts especially are a given

•

For questions where you have to check each option just skip and come back to since they’ll take a while

•

Think about what you’re strong at but takes a lot of time e.g., tax questions are good to get marks on but they take ages to do so make sure you know what trade offs you’re willing to make

•

Be very careful when reading the question e.g., for units, which ratios are relative to each other, which percentage change to compare to

•

Be strict with timing, spot which questions might take a while and involve a lot of questions and think if it’s worth it or not to do it

Hope that helps :smile:

Thank you so much. This is definitely going to help with qr 🙂

Don’t compare with the diagnostic, sit a full mock for a better comparison

Yeah I've been doing that using medentry and it really does put into perspective how I'm actually doing

Separate it into two sections. Do the first section in 2-3 days then the second in the next 2-3 days whilst doing minimal of the first section so you don’t forget. Then do Subtests and see what’s improving and what’s not

i would recommend trying to use medify and doing their mock practices, because when i used medify and then did my ucat the formats and everything where really similar so i know medify is an accurate site!

Hi I'm sorry I didn't see the message beforehand😭 obviously this is a very late response but I think medentry was slightly more accurate in terms of the scores I had gotten. Passmedicine had very random question imo but for ar I liked passmedicine. But overall medentry was good

Overall if I had a chance to do it again I would've chosen medify
