Ouch thats soo unlucky! that must have been terribel for you!

i feel for you rosebot!
but least u got into cardiff!

I remember looking at the maths and the shapes questions, both before and during the UKCat and thinking "OMFG THIS IS ****ing stupid"
But practicising the maths and shapes, (if like me ur useless at both) was very useful

Basically to the OP, anything that gives u confidence about this exam is good, attempt some of the questions with out timer, until u can do a couple really quickly, and u can then apply that techinique in the exam.!

2) no way

Smile Cheers everyone

Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate it. It's nice to know that other people hasve been there too.
How hard is the quantative reasoning in it? Because I've met some really easy ones and some absolute b*****ds in the practice questions: so I'm a bit disorientated as to what I should expect.

Horrible but hilarious. I love comedy.

Applying to Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow and
St Andrew's.

With AAAAB, a UKCAT of 2480 (620 average) and a 3000 word statement. Man am I in trouble.
It's cool though, I have about 4000 people crossing their fingers for me.
