UKCAT Details

There's not much point doing much practice beyond that, unless you want to work on your mental arithmetic.

I am interested to know as well!! I have asked several people and no-one seemed to know! One of the Drs i work with advised me to use certain websites to practice questions, a few include:

Verbal Reasoning - Comprehension Exercise

Psychometric Testing

Numeracy Test

MEDICMIX - The Global Medical School Community - Medicmix

I would however prefer books! Hope this helps a bit!

USE THIS BOOK...copy and paste the following link!:

http://www.apply2medicine.co.uk/medical-school-application-support/medical-school-entrance-exam-preparation/ukcat-exam-preparation-/ukcat-book.html

This was much, much more useful than any of the other UKCAT books/online courses I had (though if you have a spare £35 lying around (haha), go to Exam revision courses for medical professionals: MCQs for MRCP Part 1 - 2, MRCGP, Medical Student, UKCAT and more and get their UKCAT course- The questions are more straightforward than the real thing but it is a great confidence boost for those who need it (like I did!!))

I just bought 'Suceeding in the 2008 UK Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT) by Matt Green and Jemini Jethwa from Amazon £15.00 if I recall with free p & p. It's nearly three hundred pages of prep with full mock exams so it may be of help.
Good luck

Okay so honestly speaking, which book(s) has given you the most practice for all sections and a reliable, honest confidence boost?

Thanks a bunch!

I have just purchased the 600 UKCAT questions book. The QR questions in that book are hard if done in the allocated time . I only manage 3-4. Has anyone else used this book?

Hey Future_doc

I found the 600question book on amazon and it was very well recommended. The QR questions and to a certain extent, the AR section are a lot harder than what's in the real exam. My mark was pretty average (about 630) but it would have been alot worse if I hadn't tried the 600q book. Any other questions just ask.

Good Luck
