Hi Joanne,

No, that's why I'm looking for good practice material. The Dr Test practice tests are in exactly the same format as the (very limited) sample stuff on the UKCAT website. Both are written by the same guys. Strikes me that Dr Test is a good place to start & I found the email reports useful.

If you've done the UKCAT, any tips gratefully received.

Jack

Yes I guess you could argue that the makers of the book are trying to make a profit out of us as well but you need to balance the equation out.

Practice most certainly does help so either pay £15 or about £40. In an ideal world I'd do both, but I think the book is reasonably priced and contains usdeful stuff about UKCAT BMAT and Personal statement writing and it most certainly helped me out when it came to abstract reasoning, which i was terrible at before reading the book.

It covers all the UK University Admissions Tests & has a great link to some practice tests for the UKCAT - from the SAME people who designed the real test!! Check it out

mate it's clear that you are workin for the marketing section of this Drtest organisation. 80% I can feel it from the way you comment and 20% your unnecessary enthusiastic attitude about this website.
