Ucat 1800 b3

My UCAT is in 25 days and my average score is 1800 band 3 I’m planning on doing a mock a day at the time of my UCAT till my test day and review and practice throughout the day sprinkling in some skills trainer at night and to warm up. I haven’t really taken it seriously till now, is it realistic to aim for 2100 B2 for the real thing. I use MedEntry btw and does anyone have advice on the learn modules I feel like they are a bit of a waste of time and sometimes I do them to procrastinate actual practice. My best section is verbal reasoning followed by quantitative reasoning. But I feel like I’m unaturally bad at decision making if anyone has advise for decision making and SJT I would really appreciate it Thanks.

YES! you have SO much time honestly as long as you see a general increase in progress you will be fine. as for medentry modules, tbh i didn't use any of them at all and i got 2180 b1 in the real thing. you'll be fine.

i would recommend not being disheartened by low mini/full mock scores and really just keep pushing. keep trying and try hard. remember it's okay to take breaks. i took a five day break as i went to reading festival and after i came back, my scores actually starting to improve a lot. for dm, building up strategies is key, as with vr. make sure to really familiarize yourself with every single q type in vr. medentry sjt is VERY similar to the actual sjt in my opinion, if not a little harder. if you hit band 2 medentry you'll be good. make small notes about the questions you get completely wrong for sjt so you can really iron out the mistakes.
