I see i see.
It all just seems a little bit of a farce to me. They are making the applications procedure more complex by having such a wide variety in the type, cost, duration of admissions exam.
I didnt like the UKCAT but its the easiest of the bunch as far as i'm concerned and so im content sticking with that.
Good luck with your application - even if we are both at the hands of Gonzo and the gang!

If you can believe fervently in your treatment, even though controlled tests show that it is quite useless, then your results are much better, your patients are much better, and your income is much better too

I hope it's easier...MUCH easier! That practice QR is seriously hard. Managed to calculate about 15 questions, guessed the rest! How can they give so much information??!! It takes half the time digesting all the blurb they give with the data

Do you think the QR for the short practice test (on the UKCAT website) is more realisitic of what to expect? It's way easier!

yes, it's much more representative of the real thing.

great! I can do that one alot more easily. I can't believe they would make the practice QR so hard - it's like it's a malevolent effort to completely freak everyone out!!!!!!!
