hey my ukcat test tutorial said mouse or keyboard to use the calculator. incidently i used the mouse, but it actually said you could!!! there is something very dodgy going on with this test some people werent even told they could use the calculator but on my test there was a calculator button in full view next to the questions!!??? no idea what went on with those poor guys i would be lost without de calculator. dear me what a crock!

Apparently their site changed information , and there was no mention of that in the news section.

Oh by the way - Nottingham University were recruiting a UKCAT exam co ordinator only a few months ago. I've actually got the job description form lol ... so basically some random guy who wants to make a few dollars is the exam co ordinator lol. I can post up the details if anyone wants to read it..........ummm is there anything else to do while we wait??!

My keyboard was disabled, AND they took away the mouse mat in case I tried to write on it! So the mouse was also rubbish.

I'll (or more correctly, my parents) will sue them till the cows come home - how can they accuse me of 'cheating' when everything I did was perfectly acceptable according to their rules??

Did you get disqualified for that?

hey everyone! u all seem to be talking about an online calculator...I didnt even know one existed!the manual one I was given didnt work properly, the whiteboard marker didnt allow me to rub off when I'd written in it, so I ran out of whiteboard space, kept banging on my calculator and trying to ignore the girl in the next cubicle crying because she found the test too long! I ended u with the most awful set of scores ever. Cant seem to find ones any lower on this entire forum.... 510 640 640 640......sniff sniff.
what should I do???????????????????????????????
