UCAT 2026 entry Pre and Post Results thread

Guys I have my UCAT in 24 days any tips I’m doing really bad in my mocks and my decision making section is the WORST😭

Personally if you do think you are going to struggle, then push back your UCAT to the very last day before new term starts.
As for DM, my way of improving was to learn what the word means. Use the board to draw out questions in logic. Worst case for questions I flagged and in doubt that I went back later, with time permit, place a no (but this is in the very worst case, please don't do it my way).
What platform are you using medify or medentry for your mocks?

Thanks for the tips I use Medify (can’t push my date forward as I’m going on holiday 😭😭)

Hi! Anyone else sit their exam today?

guys for the UCAT can I revise using the official UCAT resources ONLY? Like do I HAVE to buy smth like Medentry cuz I was doing so well on the official question banks but then when I switched to Medentry I kept flopping my subtest mocks. Pls let me know!

It's strongly recommended to have additional resources as there are only 4-5 sets of mocks on UCAT official website.
I used both medentry + medify last year for my UCAT. In terms of difficulty
Medify > Medentry >= UCAT official resources. Medentry, I would say slightly more difficult, but some would say on par with official UCAT resources.

Are there any good methods of improving QR within 5-ish weeks? (26th August UCAT)
I understand that I have time to improve, but I was really taken aback by the time pressure in the mocks, especially with table questions (my nemesis).
Currently I'm working on VR/ SJT/ DM on Medify and I'm trying to build up my confidence with passmedicine on QR because I get depression just by looking at my current standing in Medify (the average Medify student really is a superhuman being).
Should I focus on untimed practice first then switch to timed practice once I manage to get high-ish scores or are there other techniques people would recommend?

To improve QR, if a question looks soo long (like the table questions u mentioned) just guess it, flag it and move on, and look at these flagged questions at the end. It's better to answer many easy questions that u k how to do instead of staying stuck on a few hard questions, which wastes SO MUCH time.
Try not to use the calculator as much as you can, personally I learnt some mental maths tricks on Medentry which have been really useful, but idk if Medify has this as well - maybe Youtube?
PLS USE THE OFFICIAL UCAT RESOURCES A LOT - I'm resitting the UCAT this year because I used Medify last year and only used the official resources a tiny bit. On Medify my scores were around 2800-3000 but I got so used to the question style on Medify and by test day, I completely flopped the UCAT as I didn't get used to the official UCAT questions. The stress got to me and I got a really low score
I've never heard of passmedicine, but I'd say carry on using Medify, as well as official UCAT resources, even if it makes you depressed. Lots of people have said Medify is way more challenging than the actual UCAT, so you're doing finee
I think untimed practice is important to perfect your techniques, but don't do it for too long! I'd say do untimed practice for one week and then switch to timed practice when you've perfected your technique.
Hope this helps!
