Thanks, although you made many guesses, it made me realise that I should really just guess if I don't get the questions. I've cried many times out of frustration cuz AR is so difficult, and people I've seen on yt keeps saying it gets better over time, but mine is a hit or miss. this made me reflect with how I approach this topic.

Hi, thank you so so so so so much for this video. It was literally a godsend because I used to get 620 for abstract reasoning! But after watching this video 2 days before my exam I managed to get 770 in abstract reasoning in the end. This literally brought my whole overall average score up. Cant thank you enough! :)
Literally just done some AR qs in the morning and this comes in my subscription box! It’s so good to see how someone else processes the questions, what perfect timing!!
hey Sen. i was applying for the UCAT 2020 and the registration is so awfully difficult. i was thinking if you could make a video on how to register for UCAT 2020. It'll really would mean a world.
just wanted to say thank you Sen - i know you are really busy but still make the time to help out aspiring medics. I really appreciate the hard work you put into your videos, so thank you! All the best in your studies and for your future!
When it comes to things like Clocks/numbers or these really niche question types for AR, there are only a certain number of things they can ask you on, so it's a really efficient way to pick up marks. The Medify Videos are really useful for this. In general you can do extremely well in the AR by just learning question types and what they can ask you on. It's arguably the section with the strongest work done:performance correlations . :)
@@MichaelOyewole Thanks! one question i have is do you think the actual questions in the exam were easier than expected or harder? also how did you find timing? Im glad it was a good experience for you!
@@Ke1ko7 The timing was quite difficult to get around sometimes and I didn't find a single short paragraph in verbal reasoning lol. But the questions in general were quite easier compared to the official UCAT website I think if you prepare + check all mistakes you've made - you will definitely do VERY well!
The point of the study with me videos are to just work through questions to help those who don’t understand how to approach the questions, better work through the questions

Thank you so much for your UCAT videos, I've learned a lot with you. God bless you 🙏 keep it up !!
Abstract reasoning on medify is a bit insane. It's like every other question is a conditional
Is that good or bad for prep?
@@oso_beta6976 both
It’s hard man
Great videos, always watch your UCAT series!
Great video, you make it seem so easy!
Thank you for the videos. Also for the giveaways. I am sure it helps a lot of us
I try my best - more to come, as always!
Sen Kath I’ll stay tuned for sure.

Really appreciate your page! Thank you!
My least favourite section🤣🤦♀️ couldn’t have come at a better time
Watching this the day of my ucat
Wish me luck
Have my exam today at 2:00pm lol.
Best timing possible
You can do it!
good luck! are you doing it at a test center or at home, im doing mine online on september 15
@@Ke1ko7 I did mine at a test centre.
It was a pretty nice and quiet experience tbh
Good luck to you as well!

Great video!
Loool not Sen saying one more and call it a day ..then starts getting carried away -one more ..one more …🤣😭😭
The delay is the most annoying thing
yeah, the delay gets bigger and bigger as we go on! future videos don't have this luckily!!
Hi, is UCAT Basically an iq test? I got iq of 120 in a Mensa test , is this enough to succeed in UCAT ?
not really but it does have a few similarities - you will need to prepare separately in a focussed manner to do well in the UCAT
You can't see all the available answers. No fun for thinking
thanks
looks like my 11 plus verbal reasoning exam
Why don’t you do timed questions that’s the difficult thing about the ucat
The point of the study with me videos are to just work through questions to help those who don’t understand how to approach the questions, better work through the questions
Sen Kath ah fair enough
my exams in 30 minutes 😔
good luck!
Good I can solve it before u show the rule congz to me
