Erm...part of me has a nasty feeling it may have just been luck. I'm hoping that isn't the case as i can't see myself being lucky twice in a row.

For preperation last year me and another person doing the UKCAT went over the sections with our form tutor at college. The three of us looked at how each section was structured and techniques for answering the different questions. We didn't really focus much on the time limits, we looked at example questions and discussed what we thought the answer was and how we reached those answers. It helped to develop an understanding of what was being asked, what to expect and what they were looking for.

I'm hoping the practice is what it really came down to as I've also been doing a fair bit of work for it this year with my form tutor and with learning support. Have to admit though the trouble with the verbal reasoning has made me nervous.

Most people don't finish all (or in some cases any) of the sections and the time limits are meant to press you. I had slightly extra time due to learning difficulties (dyspraxia) and if i remember correctly I only finished 1 section, 2 at the most. I haven't booked my UKCAT yet, as i said before we were gonig to check over the verbal reasoning section and see where we're going wrong.
