UKCAT in 6 days...read please!

Hi guys, got my UKCAT in a week, Iv brought both UKCAT guide books, and found them fine to deal with, however I went on the UKCAT questions on Medicmix, and found it sooooooo much harder, esp the Abstract reasoning, I couldnt even get 1 right!

Just wanna know how similar are the guides and the medicmix questions to the real UKCAT?

I totally agree with you the AR really worried me.. on other occasions, I didn't do so badly on those but in the medicmix website- it was hard.

The bad thing is there's no explanation in the answers for the AR in medicmix.

My ukcat is in 2 days!! I'm a wreck worrying about it!
I'll let you know after I do it if you'd like

Good luck!

thank you sooo much Doreen88, iam glad i'm not the only one who finds the medicmix.
After you finish the UKCAT, if you could tell me if it was harder or easier than medicmix and the book would be great

I'm not sure what this medicmix malarky is but I found the AR last year far more difficult than in the book and this would have brought down my otherwise good scores in everything else if PV hadn't dropped the ball and had the AR section cut from last years UKCAT.
