How I Scored Highly in the UCAT - Tips and Advice for UCAT (2022)
Did you only reflect on your mock then did another mock? Did you do stuff in between
UCAT in two days. I don't know how it will go, but I pray to God I do good. Any last minute tips? I'll keep you guys posted about what happens. Wish me luck!
I got 3110 and Band 3. Wth?
@@theonepercentdailyHOW? Any tips ?
@@TheSaharSherz I got really bad scores for VR and DM, but got very good for AR and QR. I recommend grinding AR questions and practice each section of DM individually. Just start doing timed questions as soon as you can and do mocks
omg tysmmmm you're a life saver!
Does Glasgow uni accept 4 higher biology, chemistry, math, and English?
tyyy so helpfulll
Hi, my ucat is in 11 days and I've done like 3/4 mocks so far and ive gotten 2300,2410,2600,2440 (in this order). I haven't been reflecting as much but I'll start doing that now. Do u think I have enough time to average a 2700 on my ucat or is it best to defer it? sorry, its a bit long but I noticed your beginning scores are similar to mine and just wanted to ask how long it took you to improve. Thanks
Hey are Scottland schools free for international students too?
Got into medical school glasgow
Well done! You should be very proud of yourself :)) See you in Sept
hey im wondering if i had at year5 all higher except for math can i just do higher in year 6 ? would that effect glasgow uni to accept my application and if yes what can i do to increase the chance of accepting my application !?
I’m in Edinburgh and I’m currently doing SWAP to medical studies at college (I’m not the traditional SWAP student I’m 19 and don’t have a gap in education but I’ve got extenuating circumstances) and as a med student at Glasgow have you come across any SWAP students? and I know you can’t speak for them but possibly making a video on their application process? ALSO I am a dispenser in a pharmacy but my course coordinator has made it clear I need some sort of experience in a hospital and shadowing a doctor how did you do it? I can’t seem to find any way of getting some experience so any pointers on how? I’ve got experience of volunteering on hospital wards during covid but because of how long ago it was it wasn’t enough. Anything else you’d recommend? I’ve just come across your platform and im so glad because there are no videos or help on how to apply for med school in Scotland and I love hearing your experience and tips on this, you’re doing amazing work and I hope semester 2 goes well for you!
@@scotmed9577 thank so much! I look forward to more content :)
@@scotmed9577 thank you so much for looking into it for me! That actually sounds so cool and Edinburgh is my 1st choice so eeeeek!! I’m definitely going to look into this
Do we have to do everything or working in hospital is fine?
You can do as little or as much as you like in any care / people facing roles. It's more about getting an insight into if medicine is for you. Most unis have no specific requirements,but some do. Have a look at the unis you apply to.
Thank you bro for your words, I was covid year so a levels werent good so I decided to get a degree. I tried this year but my ucat was wasnt too high either and i didnt study from it early on. I did think I need to get into the work life as soon as but you're right. Theres no need to rush. Thank you.
Yeah there's absolutely no rush at all. It's a life long learning job, and it's inclusive to all ages. Chill and get some life experiences and enjoy yourself! You'll get in.
The flat white thing made me laugh - thanks for this !
You're welcome!
@@scotmed9577 my UCAT is tomorrow! I’m very much scared but I will be getting that flat white hahaha!
@@neeshas9767 amazing!! Let me know how it goes. Best of luck!:))
@@scotmed9577 thankyou!
Thank you so much for making this video. How many mock exams did you do in total and how many analysis did you do ? How many mock analysis did you do and until you saw SOME improvement? How many mock analysis did you do until you saw MASSIVE improvement? Did you do analysis for both practice questions and mini mocks? Thanks :)
@@beeolix2671 I'm not sure how many questions I did but I only really analysed the full mocks.
Hey man, I did my UCAT yesterday and I managed to get 2830 B2. I felt obliged to comment on your channel just to say thank you because your videos helped me through the UCAT so much. I remember watching your UCAT diary video and in hindsight it was exactly how I felt too. Thanks so much.
Well done - that's exact same score as me haha. You should be really proud of the work you put in, as it's all paid off now!! Thanks a lot for the comment. It is actually really really nice to see that these videos are helping! Well done again :))
@@scotmed9577 thank you so much. I just realised we got the exact same lol you should be really proud too!
Hey! Great video! What’s the meditation? I’ve looked and can’t find it
"10 minute headspace guided meditation" on UA-cam
"10 minute headspace guided meditation" on UA-cam
@@scotmed9577 thankyou so much. That’s the one I tried after typing in headspace! I just really wanted to be sure. Really appreciate this. Your video was really helpful!
Hi :0 i just did my ucat, i got 2650, do u think i will be okay for scottish universities
Are you Scottish or RUK?
I have a quick question, are the mocks on the website able to give corrections in terms of what the actual right answer was, and how representative do you think they are in comparison to the real exam, because I just did one and it felt so much harder than medify
No the official mocks don't give corrections, only a score. It's difficult to say as I did it over a year ago but I'm sure I got told mock C was most representative (although I scored 300 less a few days before my exam doing it)
@@scotmed9577 for some reason now they don’t give you a score anymore only how many you got correct and incorrect smh, but that’s okay thank you, I’m just a little worried as I used medify so much and didn’t really use anything else but I feel like I should’ve, my ucat is in a week btw
@@rabia4886 oh yeah my bad. That was the same with me last year. What you have to do is go to a ucat score converter and get the scores there. Don't worry about the mocks you did. I only started mixing official mocks into my study in the last couple of weeks too. Maybe do a couple before the exam (I only did 2) :)
@@scotmed9577 thank you so much, that makes me feel a lot more relieved, but yes I’ll probably do a couple more of them( I’ve been watching your content since when I started revising for UCAT and it’s been really helpful! :)
@@rabia4886 aw thanks a lot for the lovely comment. I'm glad it's been of some value to you!! :)
what app did you use for your dashboard?
@@scotmed9577 Alright, thanks. Dude I don't know if it's just me, but Medify mocks after 9 are really terrible. I've been doing bad but I was previously doing good in the mocks. Any specific advice?
@@scotmed9577 I honestly think I'm just panicking as the exam gets closer which is declining my score
I'd then try to pragmatically deal with the anxiety. It's difficult but you can get a wee mindset sorted for the day if you meditate and become mindful to your anxieties. It's normal, everyone gets it but it can reach an unhelpful level. Watch my mindset video as I think I touched on it a bit there.
Which medify mock was most similar to your test in your opinion?
Hi, I’ve not sat my ucat yet it’s in the next 2 weeks, but my scores aren’t going too well. I am a graduate too I’ve just graduated this year and wanted to get in pretty much straight away. I feel like there is so much Stigma of not getting into medicine straight away and I feel like I’m going through this right now as I’m also 22.
@@scotmed9577 thank you, I was aiming to go as an undergrad on a graduate course, I had another question regarding average scores, were you averaging close to what you ended up getting because right now I’m averaging between 2400-2500 and nothing higher and I just don’t know what to do I’m just really demotivated and just wondering if I’m averaging this then most likely I will end up getting a score along these lines even though I am aiming for a 2800 score. Thank you :)
Hi pal, just completed my UCAT and achieved 2730, SJ band 2. Is this a decent, competitive score for grad med?
Hi mate. Well done on your score! It's hard to say for definite. What I would say is have a look online for the different cut offs for graduate UCAT uni scores. That way you can get more of an idea :)
@@scotmed9577 Thanks! I might apply to two standard 5yr courses, and two grad. Boost my chances as much as possible! Cheers for making these videos, they’ve been a godsend.
@@TheUglySlug666 yeah, I applied for UG courses too and I'd definitely reccomended as they're a lot more accessible Ucat wise! You're very welcome for the video and I'm glad they've helped :))
Are the questions for QR the same layout as medify or more similar to the UCAT question bank?
The layout is random as far as I'm aware.
How come you didn't apply for a 4th uni ? I love your UCAT vids btw x
Hi all! Here is the link to my FREE personal statement checklist I mention in the video for you to work towards. Just put in your email and I'll send it over: scotmedsite.co.uk/pslanding
i just took a mock on medify and got around 1650, i'm taking my exam on the 29th this month, and it made me panic and cry alot. specially because QR and AR are my weakest sections to begin with, i had been feeling very burnt out and unmotivated, but this video was of great help, thank you so much!!
@@sadi. Amazing!!! Well done. I'm glad it worked out for you :)))
Hi, I hope your well. My exams in about 4 weeks and I’m just so stressed. My DM is not going too well and I just don’t know where to start to improve. I don’t even know if I have enough time to actually improve anymore
4 weeks was almost the entirety of my real UCAT study. You definitely have more than enough time. Strip it back to the bear bones theory of DM and work your way through questions, then to timed questions, then back to mocks. 4 weeks is plenty of time. Make sure and make some time for your own head too. Meditate and do what you enjoy! It'll help you with your exam inadvertently :))
@@scotmed9577 thank you so much for your advice! How long did it take to see improvements in mocks. I’ve been doing mocks for the last few days and I’m stuck around 2400 and it’s going up and down right now, and I’m aiming for around 2800 but I don’t know it just seems so out of reach right now :( thank you
