Ucat help 2025

HI,
to anyone that has done well in their UCAT, PLEASE please please could you give me some tips on how to revise? what websites should I be using and when should I start? right now im focusing on my mocks which after after may half term, but im planning to sit the ucat around the 28th august.
thank you!!!

thank you so much!! if you don't mind me asking, what did you get in your ucat? is there anything you would do differently?

I got 3170 b2
One thing I’d do differently is learning to guess, flag and come back to questions that are going to take too much time
I’m a bit of a perfectionist so learning to “give in” on a question was hard but it saves you so much time
For example some of the decision making questions require quite a lot of problem solving so I started leaving them until the end

wow that is an amazing score!!! ah okay i will bear the flag function in mind

Hey, I sat the UCAT last year
I would definitely recommend starting with untimed practice to make sure you familiarise yourself with the format, the shortcuts and question types. So when you start with timed practice you know which questions will take you longer so you can guess and flag them to come back to later.
Then around 6-8 weeks before your exams start with timed practice as time is definitely the hardest part about the whole exam
I would leave the full UCAT website mocks until later in your prep as they are most similar to the real exam
I personally used Medentry but I’ve heard lots of good things about Medify, both require you to pay but if that’s something you are able to do it is definitely worth it!
As for when to start, maybe do some questions here and there but definitely focus on your exams first as predicted grades are important too
Anymore questions please let me know!

Hi! when did you begin using medentry? and before that, what did you use to practise considering we should leave the official UCAT papers to the end? thanks!

Thank you! Do you recommend the aspiring medics' free resources?

Personally, I used medify. I think the amount of stuff it gives you really makes it worth paying for it if you can. If you're not planning on sitting it until late August I would say don't start too early. You need 6ish (I mega-crammed in 4) weeks of intense practice, doing hundreds of questions every day to get used to the question format and timings. But as other people have said, do untimed practice first to get used to each category. I know they've got rid of AR so things will be a bit different to how everyone else has done it. If you want really specific tips for each of the remaining sections lmk. Good luck with everything!

thanks so much for the advice! ill defo be back in a few months when i start revising. how did you manage to balance it with school work?

I also didn't do mine until late August, so I didn't really start until the start of the summer holidays, which gave me less time than most other people spent on it, so I'm not much use for this. I would say focus on school stuff because you really need high predicted grades for most universities then do ucat prep once you're on top of your work.

I want to ask:
I need the exam result in year 2026, can I take the exam this year as a practice?
Does it affect, have any negative impact, to my results and my enrollment of medical school ?

Hey, I used Medentry for 2 weeks before my exam
Before that I used some YouTube videos and as many other questions I could find for free on the internet
