    Of course...

    3-weeks is probably excessive.

    Has anyone else noticed mistakes in the UKCAT book?

    E.g. one question was asking for the approx. %. The actual % was 27%. The options included 25% and 30%. I ticked 30%, but the correct answer in the book was 25%. Confusing. . .

    The UKCAT book(s) is/are notorious for mistakes.

    There's the one with the leader of the opposition, where it tells you that his statements are questionable because of his position, where as the UKCAT specifically forbids reading into things like that.

    I'd suggest you go on the UKCAT website and become very familiar with the rules, then go through the book and point out the mistakes to yourself. The trick to the UKCAT is knowing how the tests work and what they can ask, so the book is actually good practice, although not in the way the prats that wrote it meant it to be.

    ummm ive heard evry1 say maximum a week before the exam, but i ser am scared to leave it to the last minute is it maybe just beacause the one's doing it the first time fear it more because they don't have the experience and those who have done it before know exactly how much work should be put in.

    I have mine in 2 weeks Sara. Don't worry about it, Insha'Allah you'll be alright. All you can do is prepare as best you can and hope for the best on the day. When are you sitting yours?
