May I ask - are you supposed sit it before entering A2M or can you sit it late sept when you have already entered?

Now I know that I must sit this year I just need to know whether it's alright after entering A2M??

It was more useful than any other psychometric test books I had looked at. I got a good score and start med school next week! I am looking to sell the booklets for £130, any offers?
Hah! Are you having a laugh or what? The UKCAT prep book is more than enough - those courses are for people with more money than sense and it raises worrying questions about how fair the process is if only well off people can afford the additional coaching to get into med school.

I started the A101 grad med course at Newcastle this year and had offers from 2 other unis GEP programs and I only spent £15 on a prep book to achieve 700 average.
