Hi Wilberforce The 600 questions book is pretty much bang on for the exam, except for the QR section which slightly harder in the book than at the exam (i.e. the book does not waste time making you practise the obvious questions which everyone would get anyway). One of the main problems with the UKCAT is that you are not marked as such but they compare your performance with everyone who took it last year and then allocate you a score in relation to how you did in comparison with last years' group. For example, for QR, we know from people on this forum and other forums that if you answer about half the questions pretty well and guess the rest then you can score above 700. Obviously the marking of the mock exam in the book cannot possibly reflect the benchmark that they use based on last year's cohort of applicants, so you will find that you may get a fairly average score based on the book marking scheme (which is linear) but that it translates into a bloody good score at the exam. Overall the book offers the best practice out of all the books.
Hi crocodile. Just wanted to ask some UKCAT advice, as it seems you've done the test already. Struggling with AR - did you find the 600 questions book faithful to what the test was actually like for AR? I do Ok on these questions, but they are easier than in another book - 'how to pass the UKCat', so would appreciate your advice on this! Thanks - hope you did well on the test?
