Hi Crazy4Christ,
I just took my UKCAT today. For the last 2 days I had been taking practice tests and panicking because I was not doing as well as I wanted to, but I thought the actual test was much easier than the online practice test. It seemed more like the practice questions in the UKCAT book. I was, however, not able to complete the math section and just guessed on 1/3 of the test, but still got 650 on it. My advice would be to not panic and just relax the day before the test. Good Luck.

Argh, mine is next wednesday, am applying for GEP courses...I am worried about the UKCAT, but am just going to take it in my stride...It sounds like such an annoying test though!!! Thank god there is a pub nearby my local test centre! Haha!

[Saira508]

yeah, you get your result immediately after the test.

[anatomist08]

The test just sounds so odd; isn't it interesting that there seems to be such weird results coming from it? Some people on here sound massively intelligent and yet they are getting, what other people are considering, to be bad scores....hmm, it worries me!

How long have you been revising for pal? Its too tricky!

Also what online practice tests have you been using?

Thanks

[anatomist08]

Well, it depends what you call revision really...I bought a book with UKCAT adivce and questions in at the start of August, have done all the questions and read the advice carefully. I went to Borders the other week and sat in the coffee shop with some pychometric test books, that was quite cool actually, it had lots and lots of abstract reasoning style questions and good comprehension tasks to do (hmm, my muffin was soooo nice, haha, slightly distracting!).

But, I mean, that is it really...I have no plans as such between now and Wednesday, so told myself I would so some practice on the internet somewhere. Haven't done the full test on the official website yet, am saving that for Sunday/Monday...

It's hard to know what to do! What about yourself, have you prepared in any way? Mark

Well have been using the UKCAT book and a book on standard apitude tests. Just trying to get used to the theories really.

How about you Crazy4christ? What are you using online?
