Hi I have the same experience with medify so I switched to medentry for a week and my score went from 2500 on medify to 2700 and then 2970 in my most recent medentry mocks. You could try medentry or focus on your marks rather than the medify scaled score :smile:

Many people say to try to do 50 questions of practise a day, but I'd say to aim for like 200+ questions of timed practice a day. Make sure every day is bright green on the UCAT measure of how much practice you've done. What I do is try to do as many as I can. Over and over again in each section. Until I notice my performance start to drop - then I take a 10-15 minute break to either eat, drink water, go on my phone for a bit. Then I go right back to spamming the questions.

Before your exam, aim to have completed 75%+ of the available questions on Medify. Aim to have done all of the mocks available on Medify and the offical UCAT website. Space them out as well (2-3 mock per day) and use every single resource they have available on the websites.

My sister said that many past students switched to Medentry in the last week or two before their UCAT date because the format of the questions are slightly different and some of the questions are more similar to the actual exam than on Medify. Medify is good for some sections whereas Medentry is good for others. They're similar prices too. My exam is on 18th September and Im going to switch to Medentry on 1st September when my Medify subscription ends. That means I have about 10-11 days to do as much Medify as I can.

Try to set yourself goals that you force yourself to meet.

thank you so much ill try do all of that, however I think getting medentry rn would be useless since my exam is so close so I will have to stick to medify and I will ignore the score and focus on the mark,
thanks for your advice!!!

Don’t worry too much! My medify mocks were around 2500-2650 in the week before my test but in the actual test i got 2940 :smile:
using score converter websites might make u feel better than what medify tells u, in terms of improvement try different techniques and see which ones work faster for you personally, eg in vr some ppl skim read the test then look at the qs but other ppl read the questions first
Once you’ve got the technique down then focus on timing- lots and lots of timed practices- i found that timed practices were closer to the real thing than the medify mocks (pinch of salt since everyone gets a different test)
Good luck!
