Hi Selenaa,

I just bought the UPO thing yesterday. At the moment
they have 830 questions in there. It seems well-organised
to me. At the bottom of each page there is a green section
that explains the answer and how they got to it. That is
the part that I like. I want to first understand what to look for
and how to do things, in a step-by-step manner. I'll work on
speed later.

You have had almost 6 months to try it = how is it?

Does it analyse your performance like oneexamination -

I honestly wouldn't bother with it. The UKCAT isn't about challenge of the questions, its about the sheer volume you have to answer in an alloted amount of time. These 'practise questions' are just guesses as to how UKCAT works. They are just as likely to drive you off course as they are to help you. No revision and I got a UKCAT of 695, its an aptitude test, you can't revise for it (except perhaps the visual section where it may be worth quickly running through concepts like lines of symmetry, rotational symmetry etc.)
