I was going to ask about the exact same thing!

I've been using the 2007 edition of the book which I have borrowed from my college library. Last year i didn't use the book and i got 780 on the verbal reasoning section (my 2nd highest of the 4). This year although I have taken an offer for Medical Biochemsitry at Leicester they have said places will be available for a course transfer, though to apply you must do the UKCAT test again.

As soon as the A-levels were finishes i started practice on UKCAT with learning support and my form tutor. The quantiative reasoning subtest I did very well in practice (it was my weakest last year at 660) and after a bit of work the Decision Analysis and Abstract reasoning started to make more sense. The verbal reasoning subtest has caught me out though, I tried the first 24 questions and got a grand total of 8 right, my form tutor agreeing with the majority of answers i gave. We are going to check with the critical thinking teacher at the college and see what he thinks but someone I know who applied last year (and got an offer) said she found the verbal reasoning questions in the book aukward.

Does anyone else think the book may just have overly difficult examples? If not then in my case i have got a lot worse at verbal reasoning over 1 year.
