      HI , I watched your video focusing on abstract reasoning after being completely baffled by so many random shapes .But after watching your video, patterns came so much more easily to me and I even got 9/10 on some practice questions I tried afterwards so, thank you so much!

    General tips:
    1) All questions are worth the same number of marks so skip the hard questions
    2) Familiarize yourself with the user interface: computer based calculator, same interface on the ucat website to practice exams
    3) Focus on the questions you got wrong, forum to ask questions: the student room
    4) Track your progess in each section
    Verbal reasoning tips:
    1) Do not use outside information to answer questions, only use the information provided in the text
    2) Scan key words related to the question
    3) Focus on the words: "some", "cannot", "most", "least", "except"
    Quantitative reasoning tips:
    1) Learn the equations at 6:12
    2) Leave questions that need 3 calculations for the end
    3) Know your weaknesses and leave these questions for the end
    Abstract reasoning tips:
    1) Don't make rules with "or" or "at least"
    2) Find positive rules, not negative rules
    3) SCANS: Shape, Colour, Arrangement, Number, Size: 9:04

    This video is so helpful, I now feel like I may be capable of getting into medicine! I have been considering doing a course for the UCAT but UCAT is still fairly new in Australia and I fear the courses might not be as helpful, I will be buying the 1250 UKCAT book, fingers crossed. I'm really scarred of the quantitative section> maths horrifies me and my math teacher in senior year sucked! Dropped the unit in year 11/12 (2015). Suggestions for improving maths? thanks for making such an informative video!

      Did you guys find it easier or harder than medify and the UCAT official website resources???

    • @angellll357
      @angellll357 3 роки тому

      Hey. I found QR to be muchh easier than the medify and especially ucat resources (I was getting like 300-600 when practicing and 690 on the actual QR). I found VR to be harder because the passages and answers tended to be longer so it was harder to find the key words. I found DM and AR to be around the same difficulty as medify. Lastly SJT was slightly more difficult (just by a little bit) because it was harder to know whether the answer was very important or important etc as it seemed like either could be right.
      Hopefully this helps 😊. If you haven't done your UCAT yet, then remember this was just MY experience and yours may differ greatly. So do as much practice as you can and good luck! 😊

    Thank you so much. This video involves such great advice, i find myself coming back to it whenever i want to refresh my memory. For the VB section (the reading comprehension questions), do you recommend reading the whole passage or using the key work approach? PS, your study notes are awesome as well ^^

    • @KharmaMedic
      @KharmaMedic  6 років тому +1

      Hey Julas thanks so much :) I've answered this a couple of times in private messages but basically, when I did the UKCAT I did the keyword approach but I don't think it worked too well for me. If i had to do it again I would go for reading the whole passage quickly but actively enough that when I read a question I could jump back to the relevant part. It really depends on the person though so I would recommend trying out multiple techniques and seeing what works for you!
      I'm happy you could read the notes haha!

    • @sathajuju

    I find it really hard to find the keywords in the passage and I feel like I'm not improving at all regardless of how much practice I do. I did one of the diagnostic tests on medify and got 530 on average with AR being my lowest and I'm starting to lose hope at this point because I really want to get a score in the 700s if possible.

  • @santino4561
    @santino4561 6 років тому +3

    thanks for the advice, got mine on 18th August. Funnily enough verbal reasoning is by far my best section and my others are weaker, which is not only contrary to your results but also most of my friends.

    • @KharmaMedic
      @KharmaMedic  6 років тому +1

      From my experience of the UKCAT and MCAT, excelling in verbal is hugely beneficial. It's the section that's hardest to learn. The other sections are easier to get better at with practice. Good for you!

      Because I found quantities reasoning really hard on UCAT official website but quite easy on medify...

    • @SG-we9gq
      @SG-we9gq 3 роки тому +2

      Alec 64 medify is basically the same as the real thing, except for AR, the AR on Medify is much much easier than the real thing, I was getting 800 on medify whereas I got 670 in the real thing, the UCAT official website was harder than the real thing I would say, by a considerable amount, but I only did two mocks on there, I feel like if I did them all I would’ve gotten better, so defo do all of them, they are much tougher though, little late for UCAT now don’t you think 😂, I’ve started preparing for BMAT 😅, but good luck.

    • @Alec-rh7dm

    Hi Nasir, Thanks for the video it rly helped :). Do you have any advice on what to do on the day before your UKCAT exam?

    • @KharmaMedic
      @KharmaMedic  6 років тому +6

      Hey Simran glad you liked it!
      The day before your UKCAT or any big exam or interview you really want to make yourself as relaxed as possible. For some people this means not looking at their books at all (whatever you have studied you already know and is there, no need to stress yourself out on the last day), for others this means glancing over their notes in the morning/afternoon to make sure they still remember everything and then taking the evening off (the category I fall into), and others like to cram cram cram up until they sleep! Whatever will make you feel the most comfortable is what you should do!
      What I like to do is to have previously made a list of the most important things you definitely want to go over and see the day before your exam, have a leisurely look through those up until the afternoon and then spend the rest of the day unwinding and relaxing! You want to have as little nerves as possible and not be stressed before you take your test!
      Hope that helps!

  • @renae9450
    @renae9450 4 роки тому +1

    URGENT HELP: just wondering in your section about situational judgement you said we should address problems immediately, but in a practice UCAT question I had to judge the appropriateness of whether I should wait until Amy (a person who makes an inappropriate joke that upsets their friend Marek) leaves so that I can ask Marek how he felt about the joke. I though it would be appropriate but not ideal to wait for her to leave but the answer said it was very appropriate to wait for amy to leave to then ask Marek.
    I would really appreciate if your could reply as this question has been burning my brain for a while now

    Hi man, thanks for the super useful video, my exam's in 3 weeks time. Revision's going pretty well, but could you briefly explain how the actual exam runs? Do I have to do the sections in the order in which they pop up, and if, or once they change after x minutes can I go back to previous sections to answer questions I flagged for review? Are all the sections on screen for a certain amount of time for me to answer questions, and then do they 'lock', or can I just do it as if it were a physical paper test?

    What resources did you use to revise for the UCAT? Just the UCAT 1250 questions and UCAT for dummies? What do you think are the best resources to use? Also when doing practice papers and questions how did you score yourself because i don't know how to scale my marks to between 300-900. Sorry, one last question (haha), where did you get full papers to practice from?
