I really recommend following the tips in the video. Writing out all the patterns I saw really did help in both practice and the real thing. I don't think i could have gotten 890 without doing that. Thanks for the video!
This popped up in my recommended 3 days before my UCAT and in my last few days I used these strategies and ended up with an 870 in AR! It was always my weakest area (when I first started practicing I was averaging 550-650) so these tips really helped.
It was good ty for asking! A lot better than BMAT. I’d say verbal reasoning was the hardest part. Keep practising situational judgement! I was a little disappointed with my result for it. I did well enough to get into a good UKCAT uni, so *keep practising* 🙌🏾
Aryan Sharma hi! i’d say focus on the areas where you feel you’re not so good at, and keep practising those sections. also come up with a strategy for the exam, for eg i found it was easier to read the q before i read the text. also if a q is hard, don’t spend too long overthinking the answer, this will make you doubt yourself, always go with your gut instinct. i gave myself a time limit for each question, so i had around 20 seconds for each q before i had to move on. this helped me make sure that i didn’t run out of time. also take an educated guess or use a process of elimination if the q is really hard! you don’t want to run out of time. make sure you keep calm during the exam too! anxiety and stress will cause you to panic, so just remember that you’re trying your best and that’s what counts! good luck ☺️
Ravi Parekh ye same I actually made a list before watching this video but my list is so long as it has so many variables it'll be rly hard to remember even half of them.
Truth is it's not really 13/55 minutes per question because most of the time, each of the A/B pattern has 5 questions for it. That makes gives you a minute or so to complete the entire set, so 40 seconds to identify the patterns and 20 to answer the 5 questions (because after knowing the patterns it's quite easy).
Just did my second mock and didnt do good, averaged 550(overall on all sections) and my test is on the 25th, 9 days, I started preparing for it a couple days ago as a late decision but I just wanna know if theres any way possible for me to be hitting 650 at least in the next 7 days, I bought medify today too. Update: Just did my test today and got 620 and a band 2 :D
I'm in the SAME situation as you are in...I got 570 in my first mock...and I'm not seeing any improvement in my AR...My test is on the 29th and I bought Medify today as well .
Btw I've heard ppl say that the real test is slightly easier than the mocks ...so I would advice you to keep calm. It depends a lot on luck as well....
Ok so I'm doing the new UCAT ANZ.... My question is do you get times separately for each section or is it just a set time of 2 hour or so and you need pace yourself?
I'm assuming you practice with your personalised bank over a period of time. Then when you're ready for timed practice, you should be able to speed through your bank whilst doing the questions.
I'm writing my UCAT this year and I've started using your technique for abstract reasoning (writing all the patterns down) I have about 20-30 so far but everytime I do a question on medify I get different different patterns so the ones I've used so far can't apply to the question I'm attempting. did you notice any patterns between the ones you noted down and the ones you got on the UCAT. please help me AR is extremely difficult for me
Do you have any special tips for those taking the test this year, like I heard they banned the use of physical whiteboards so we only have the computer one.
I Used the ISC Medical School questions first to gain an understanding of the types of questions and the timing, then i used medify. Medify is the best thing you can possible use in my opinion. Overall last august i got 770, AR: 900, QR: 870, VR: 650 DM: 660, I would say my mistakes were not practicing enough verbal reasoning properly. Its difficult to read and process the information on medify because i found the texts were really long so a lot of my practice for those questions was guess work, but on the day, i found the texts were shorter but because i hadn't practiced it properly i still just kinda skimmed and guessed. I would recommend having some sort of technique which works for u and sticking to it for VR rather than doing guesswork. DM medify questions are just so varied and some came up like they did in medify others different. QR and AR i just practiced so many questions and got better and better. Also, use the mousepad on the RHS of the keyboard and become very used to it, it can save u loads of time. medify is fantastic because u constantly practice in timed conditions, u dont ave the option to keep going when time runs out and there are thousands of questions. But ultimately i got 4 interviews mostly due to my score on this so get medify for a month if u can and do all 4000 questions.
learn to utilise the keyboard numbers on the right hand side, if u get quick with em you can save lots and lots of time. also practice because u need to develop a certain way of thinking of picking out the relevant information and ignoring the useless bits. honestly its all practice, the harder u work the better u will do.
My exam’s in 18 days and I just did a mini-mock and got 470 in abstract reasoning, I feel hopeless. I’m gonna follow all your tips and I’ll come back to this comment after my exam and say what I got in the section. It is honestly my worst section. I want to around 700-800 in abstract reasoning. That’s my goal. I’ll do A LOT of practise abstract reasoning questions everyday, hopefully it will pay off.
Is it worth doing this year? I know im not gona get AAA predicted grades but i still wana rlly apply for medicine, its my dream but even my gcse results were just way too average (5As), what to do???
lozylazyluzylizylezy 22 if you're passionate about medicine then go for it, you might still have a chance. Some unis however won't accept those gcse results at all (like Liverpool), but I see what you mean about them being low. If you fit the criteria you can apply for programs at unis that lower the requirements from AAA to ABB like Access to Leeds for example.
Hey, I’m in a similar situation. I know I won’t get predicted 3 A’s but I’m still going to try and get into medicine. It’s all about your determination and passion for it. But keep in mind next year will not be a joke for you.
I found the VR so tricky and I got a low score in that section (540) but the others went pretty good. I got 630 in DM 670 QR 720 AR SJ band 1 overall 2560 I hope it's enough to get an interview (I'm applying as an undergraduate). Fingers crossed! How about you?

I used the tips in this video and got 870 in my AR section in my real exam ! Thank you so much :)
Bernice Ruan wow thats amazing, what was your average, got mine in 9 days
Got mine in 9 days aswell haha
you know those patterns you wrote down - is it possible you could send them to me? that would be much appreciated

whats your advice?
any help you can give us it would be really appreciated thanks
Thanks Rhyan! I'm sitting the UKCAT this year as well, and this was incredibly helpful!
when?
you wrote down patterns yet

If you have 80 patterns, how are you meant to memorise them all Ryhan?
I subscribed for this helpful video. Thank you so much!
All the best
For 13 minutes, answering 55 questions is really hard. How did you think of every pattern that quick? did you guess some answers?
Truth is it's not really 13/55 minutes per question because most of the time, each of the A/B pattern has 5 questions for it. That makes gives you a minute or so to complete the entire set, so 40 seconds to identify the patterns and 20 to answer the 5 questions (because after knowing the patterns it's quite easy).

Good vid bro. Cheers
How fit is this doctor?! I feel an illness coming on... And a plane ticket to Newcastle?
thank you so much, now I know where I can practice for my test
You’re welcome
Hahaha i needed this. Resitting ukcat soon. Cheers man.
how you tacking the AR - did you write all the patterns down on your first attempt?
2024 anyone?
Also 7:08 what’s the pattern
Yes please do more videos on each section thanks

Good luck, gang
What scores did you get in each section and overall?
Ok so I'm doing the new UCAT ANZ.... My question is do you get times separately for each section or is it just a set time of 2 hour or so and you need pace yourself?
It’s seperate time for each section
@@NZA_Clutch thanks!
When you say refer to the list every time you do AR qs, wouldn't that take up too much time when you're doing timed practice?
I'm assuming you practice with your personalised bank over a period of time. Then when you're ready for timed practice, you should be able to speed through your bank whilst doing the questions.

Web site is not working... what happened?
Do you have any special tips for those taking the test this year, like I heard they banned the use of physical whiteboards so we only have the computer one.
They provide a set of laminated a4 paper (same as whiteboards in function) in those year's examination as well as an on screen notepad
My exam is on 18th August. Can you do a verbal reasoning and quantitative reasoning video pleeeease?
Lila J How did it go?
It didn’t go too well got 580 avg. I feel so upset since then.
did you wrote down patterns and tried this method
Nepali Guy for me it wasn’t AR that brought my mark down it was VR and DM
are you gonna do the bmat now? or retake the ukcat?
Thank you , how many different patterns did u remember? Was it just those which u showed?
how many weeks did you spend revising for the UCAT?
Quickk question.... what do you think about Medify, did you use it? And is it realistic and helpful??

what did you get?
If you don't know the answer to a question is it best to guess or leave it blank?
guess there is no negative marking so defo guess it!
Leave it blank-it's Always best to ensure yourself that you'll get it wrong
Daniella Omo alright no need to be sarcastic
I'm sorry this is just too funny x'D. but yes, Don't leave a single question unanswered
do you have to get full marks for a score of 900?
No apparently you don’t need full marks from what I’ve been told
You need to do as well as the best person did in QR in 2006... It's a bit weird...
What age should a potential medical student do their UKCAT?
Pan Da Yang when you finish yr12 in that summer. So 17?
How did you revise for your ukcat? I got the book, is that enough?
Is it worth doing this year? I know im not gona get AAA predicted grades but i still wana rlly apply for medicine, its my dream but even my gcse results were just way too average (5As), what to do???
lozylazyluzylizylezy 22 what were your other gcse results
Ropsana Khanom 4Bs and 1C?
lozylazyluzylizylezy 22 if you're passionate about medicine then go for it, you might still have a chance. Some unis however won't accept those gcse results at all (like Liverpool), but I see what you mean about them being low. If you fit the criteria you can apply for programs at unis that lower the requirements from AAA to ABB like Access to Leeds for example.
Ropsana Khanom thank you so much!!
Hey, I’m in a similar situation. I know I won’t get predicted 3 A’s but I’m still going to try and get into medicine. It’s all about your determination and passion for it. But keep in mind next year will not be a joke for you.
hope these tips help for Friday😭
Hi I'm from St. Cuthberts
Do you get exactly the same questions from the book?
No the questions are different but some very similar there are thousands of potential combinations you can get
Finally
I'm doing my ukcat in two weeks in Glasgow !
Alessia Trombetta How did it go??
I found the VR so tricky and I got a low score in that section (540) but the others went pretty good.
I got 630 in DM
670 QR
720 AR
SJ band 1
overall 2560 I hope it's enough to get an interview (I'm applying as an undergraduate). Fingers crossed!
How about you?
Alessia Trombetta was VR and DM similar to medify ?
Was QR similar to Medify?
did you wrote down the patterns ? if so is it possible you could send them to me?
and for VR any tips?
cheers
What uni do u go??
Newcastle
Is the ucat now online for international students ?
the second method of listing going to take 10 minutes！
