Any tips for VR?!!

Hi guys and girls hope your applications are going swimmingly. I am currently revising for the GAMSAT while practicing for the UKCAT. I just tried to do the practise VR in the passing the UKCAT/BMAT book and I cannot believe how many I got wrong. I seem to have particular trouble realizing if it is false or cant tell. Out of the 24 questions I answered in 15 minutes I got 10 correct! I was really shocked how badly I did. I am quite good at the other sections. Hopefully these will drag my average up.

So just wondered if anyone had any tips?

That's nice to hear, I carried on and managed to pull out respectable scores in the other sections ( I think :S)

God knows what will happen on the day. The practice DA i found much harder than the ones on the UKCAT website, on the website I almost got everyone correct, but the book I only got about 58%... Gah I'm worrying too much lol
