UKCAT Veterans

This is a question for anyone who has done the UKCAT more than once.

As I posted in another thread I am planning to apply for a course transfer into Medicine after a year of medical Biochemsitry, and as such I've been told to resit the UKCAT for this cycle. Last year I got results i was very pleased with.

Verbal Reasoning: 780
Quantiative Reasoning: 660
Abstract Reasoning: 750
Decision Analysis: 790
Non-cognitive Analysis: "Compared to the responses of other people, your responses suggest that you appear to balance being self-suficient, discreet and happy to make your own decisions with being socially and emotionally engaged and outgoing."

I've been doing practice at college since the A-level exams finished, however practice with the verbal reasoning section has not gone very well - I practiced 24 questions and got only 8 right and this has made me a bit nervous. hough I have heard people say the VR questions in the book are very nasty compared to standard questions.

My question is that when people have done the test a 2nd or 3rd time have they found their scores got better, stayed about the same or got worse? Basically how retakes of the exam compared to their original takes.
