Two silly questions...

I did the ukcat last year but for some reason it is a complete blank to me...cant remember anything!

1.) Are we allowed a calculator, paper, pen...anything like that?
2.) What order do the sections come in or do we get to choose?

1. You are given a calculator and a two-sided wipeable board and marker pen for making notes - and can request a second one if you run out of space. Also, I was allowed to take my extra strong mints into the test, but not my drink!

2. You can't choose the order. It's VR, QR, AR, DA. Then the weird ethical questions.

On the ukcat website, the practise test is in the same order as the real thing. And, for what it's worth, I found the actual test much easier than the practise one - lots less info to read, esp on the QR questions.

Hope it goes ok.
