Hi Thomas, these videos are very helpful! Thanks so much for your help. I was just wondering would it be possible for you to do a live Q&A UCAT webinar session this month for your subscribers? I am planning to sit the exam towards the end of this month and was wondering if there would be a possibility to talk to you live in a webinar setting to get your advice on specific challenges i have been facing? Thank you
Hey! I actually haven't even thought about doing live webinars, I'd have to look into what software I could do it with etc. Somebody actually emailed me about doing 1 to 1 mentoring for it which I could see happening through zoom or something. I'm glad you're getting value from my videos and I really appreciate you taking time to leave feedback - I love reading them. I'll have a look into the webinar side of things, just a heads up I may not be able to figure it out until personal statement time etc! Could maybe do it for that too.
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
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 :)
I did about 14 mocks total. Analysed them all. Not sure exactly when I noticed differences. It's more gradual than anything. I scored well in mock 10 which was the first time I saw an improvement
@@scotmed9577 Thanks for your quick reply! Did you do analysis for both practice questions and mini mocks on medify? How many AR questions did you do in practice and mini mocks? Thanks
I'm sitting my ucat in 4 days and i've been doing some of the official ucat mocks and I find QR way harder than Medify's and the whole experience was really slow (some of my AR questions wouldn't load properly and questions take a while to load). So I was wondering if anyone knows how the actual exam compares with the UCAT mocks? Thanks
I think generally the mocks average out to be representative of the exam but one of them was really hard. I can't remember what mock it was, but I think mock C was meant to be the most reflective. In saying that, I scored like 2400 in mock C and got 2830 in my exam, so it's really specific to the individual.
Hoping to apply to Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen for the 23/24 academic year. Do you have an interview tips video in the pipeline at all, or have any tips you would be willing to share?
Plenty interview videos to come! I'm focusing on UCAT videos at the mo just as it's most people's primary focus at the minute, but I'll be making personal statements / references / interview videos for all parts of Scottish uni application process when the time comes! Have you sat UCAT yet?
@@scotmed9577 that makes sense! Looking forward to the content. My UCAT is September 14th. Using Medify to study for it but I’ve not been using it as much as I’d like due to work
i'm sorry for asking so many questions but do you know how i can improve my speed in verbal reasoning, i've tried to practise speed reading but everytime i read really quickly i can't seem to remember anything, do you know of anything that helped your score to improve in VR?
Focus less on trying to read very fast, and more on choosing the right passages to read, and the long confusing ones to skip. Skim and find the section of the text you need and then read slowly around that area.
Honestly, not really. I feel like this is just one of the things we have to do that just isn't that fun... The one thing I will say though is make sure you are doing things you actually enjoy as well. That's the main thing.
Same as me on my first mock! Don't be disheartened by scores, it's easy for me to say now, and I was annoyed too at the time, but honestly treat mocks as learning situations rather than "practice exams".
@@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?
All I can really recommend is focusing on any specific areas you can see failing. If it's generally maybe take into account that you're working too hard (granted, you actually feel this and are working yourself hard lol) and take a few days off. Good luck! (They also do tend to get harder after mock 10 btw)
@@Not_BhiLZA it's difficult for me to say / 'diagnose' what could maybe be the culprit for your dip in scores. If I were you I'd reflect a lot on what you truly thing the issue could be. Any ideas?
Yeah, 10 is decent. It's more about what you get from them rather than the score etc. Just make sure you're comfortable with most exam questions before the day of your exam :)
Ty for these tips, I tend to look over my mocks but not in this much detail. Currently suffering in DM hopefully it will improve:)
Yeah I think that's a good shout. Knowing where you're going wrong is key to making improvements!!
Thank you so much for taking out the time for this.

You're very welcome! Let me know if you get anything useful from it!
could you do a decision making walkthrough? I really struggle with this section. Thank you
Yeah, I will try to get onto this!
Amazing. Thank you man!
