Revision books from libraries etc.

And more importantly, what you're looking at....and TSR....and anywhere.

Does anyone know where I can find additional UKCAT practice questions, apart from the medicas site? Would be grateful if you could let me know. Thanks.

There's a book called Passing the UKCAT and BMAT - it has its faults but explains the hows of how different sections work in the sections and gives examples and practise tests.
I didn't really use it for the BMAT as there are better books but for the UKCAT I found it was the best (of the few available) resources.
Here's a link to it from amazon

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Passing-Clin...6886805&sr=8-2

If you go to libraries to try and revise for it as Singh.Simran suggests, this should be a book you keep your eye open for (I'm sure some should have it)

the book and the website seem to be enough
overpreparing won't really work, the Qs are all so different, really depends on how you do on the day

my practise appers were depressing, below 50%, but turned out alright, now just gotta hope pearson don't mail me saying "sorry you actually got 450..."

There's an interesting article about UKCAT on sBMJ. Things aren't looking good for the people who make the guides.
