ACE THE UCL PHARMACY (MPharm) ENTRY TEST

[@jasonwong4619]

Some good news! I managed to get an offer from ucl for pharmacy. Thank you for information, definitely helpful and calmed my nerves even though I panicked in the interview (thought i failed from interview). I think lesson learned. The interviewers will know you are nervous so don’t worry too much about it. Just demonstrate your genuine passion for pharmacy say why you will enjoy it and why it may also come with difficulties and how you would overcome them. The interviewer just want to get to know you! All the best for anyone applying next year

Congratulations. So happy I could help!!

Hi, I just wanted to ask what kind of questions u were asked? And how they reacted to certain answers

[@footballly4502]

what kind of questions did they ask you?

[@winterspringautumn__]

Hiii!! Thank you for this!!

[@scillaasa]

You’re welcome ✨

[@christylee9530]

Thank you so much for filming all the videos for UCL~ I have just got the invitation to the online entry test next tues and I hope I could get an interview🙈, btw your videos are so helpful!🌟

[@scillaasa]

That’s amazing! I’m glad my UCL videos have been helpful in your application process-that’s my goal really! All the best with your test✨

[@ruyinnikdost4038]

Sameee, I have mine on Tuesday too I have done the bmat and ucat so would you say it’s something similar but easier?

[@christylee9530]

@@scillaasa I have just finished the test today and it went pretty well:P those calculations are quite basic and even for the essay question it's quite open-ended~ thank you for putting me at ease XD

[@lilo955]

@@christylee9530 hi!! i have my test tomorrow i was just wondering with the essay, is it like based scientifically or more ethically. like would i need to revise like actual content?

[@christylee9530]

@@lilo955 It's based more ethically I'd say. You'd comment on a situation based on your own views so you can actually write anything you like as long as it's sensible:P The scientific parts are included in the calculations before the essay

[@lotus-od4uh]

hii, i just wanted to ask whether you can look through pharmacy personal statments or not. And thank you soo soo much for your personal statment video it massively helped me and gave me a lot of ideas to talk about in my personal statement

[@scillaasa]

I’m so happy that the video helped you! That’s my aim ❤️❤️ and yes I do, send an email to [e-mail] to book a slot.

[@cian434]

Hey thanks for this it was super informative, I’m not from the UK so this is all super foreign to me. Do you know roughly how long the essay needs to be, and also do I need to provide them with identification documents for the ID check they talked about in the email?

[@buraunpanda-7078]

How many words do you need to write for the essay?

[@user-gn4qe8fi9g]

What sort of topics could they ask in the essay , so i could prepare by reading a bit more about it ? ❤️

[@scillaasa]

I couldn’t really tell you that. Have a broad knowledge of things going on in the health sector. It could be anything at all

[@benjamintang6042]

Hi, I have a few questions about the UCL application. About when did you do your UCL pharmacy entry exam?, How long did you have in entry exam?, Did you do any preparation for this entry exam? and when would get a notification if you got an interview or not? Thanks sooo much

[@scillaasa]

Hey, I took my test around November. This will differ for all applicants. How long + preparation- answered this in the video. Interview invitations differ for different applicants, I can’t give an exact date✨

[@rahandsaid55]

are we meant to prepare for this like revision?

[@diamond-zb6rl]

Is there an entry test for pharmacy in unis like Birmingham and Aston or is this just for ucl

[@scillaasa]

I only applied to UCL MPharm so I’m not sure how the others work. Visit their website or give them a call ✨

[@jasonwong4619]

I just got invited for the selection test and the interview!! Do you know how long the UCL test? I’m worried about this test

[@calmstudy980]

Same! halfway through my mock exams aswell!

Well I mean I just got invited for the test not the interview lol

[@Guleed]

Hey.Is it possible to switch subjects from pharmacy to dentistry in the same year or is a gap year required?? Also does UCL do dentistry? Thanks

[@scillaasa]

To study dentistry you are required to go through the entire application process- ucat/BMAT, A Level grades, personal statement, interview then you might land an offer. You can’t just switch from one course into dentistry as you haven’t fulfilled the other requirements . UCL doesn’t do undergrad dentistry. If you search the list of uk dental schools you’ll find which unis offer it✨

[@Guleed]

@@scillaasa thanks so much :))

[@Fafa-kt1gn]

heyy, i just wanted to ask how you applied and which unis require it? also when do i need to sit it? there isn't as much info online! im stressing out😫

[@scillaasa]

This mPharm exam is for UCL. They’ll send you a link to take the test some weeks after you’ve submitted/they’ve received your UCAS application. I do not know the entry test procedure for other pharmacy schools. Do call them and inquire✨

[@Fafa-kt1gn]

Thank youuu👍🏼☺️

[@unknowntah4746]

Hi there. My test is next week and I’m so sure how to revise for it. May someone please tell me what should I do and how to prepare for the exam. Also what came up during the exam?

[@Idk-lx3rs]

How was it? And was the essay difficult?

[@jannah8894]

Are the chemistry questions A-level based or GCSE based coz some students wouldn’t have completed the entire course by the time we do the test?

[@jannah8894]

Also, are the questions MCQs

[@scillaasa]

They will be questions you should be able to solve at your level. Like I said in the video relative molecular masses etc ✨

[@nehab_187]

Hi i have a question about the entrance test. Do you get time to prepare for the entrance test at all or do they spring it on you?

[@scillaasa]

Hi Neha, you are given good notice before the test

[@nehab_187]

@@scillaasa Ok thank youu

[@fatimakhan8949]

Hii, do you do the entry test and interview on the same day ?

[@scillaasa]

No. You will be sent an email invite with a link to take the online test. Then depending on your result they may choose to invite you to an interview. All the best!

[@tanishameena8576]

Hey I have my interview tomorrow for Kingston University and the email addressing it says that after the interview I have to give test, being an international student what do you think will be the procedure for the entry test?

[@tanishameena8576]

Do I need to type the essay ??

[@scillaasa]

Hi I did not apply to Kingston university and so unfortunately I can’t tell you how their entry test is set up. Might be worth emailing admissions team for some info. All the best!

[@estherwilliams5695]

hey where do you sign up for this entry test

[@scillaasa]

The pharmacy school will reach out to you (if they want you to take the test) after they’ve received your application

[@knj9873]

Can you use a calculator for the calculation questions?

[@Idk-lx3rs]

it said in the email that you can

[@scillaasa]

I believe so

[@vinitakumar3827]

Hi I jus applied to ucl pharmacy with the grades BBB but I'm hoping to get accepted through the access course which lowers the grades from AAB TO BBB . Do u think its likely I'll get an offer ? 😭

[@scillaasa]

Hey Vinita, so sorry for the late reply I missed your comment. I can’t give you a definite answer but if the access course lowers grades to BBB and you’re applying with BBB too, then I be guess you stand a chance. Multiple factors go into getting uni offers eg interviews, online tests etc. If you’re ever in doubt, email their admissions office, they should be more than happy to help

[@arub9002]

Hey, just want to know if you've received any response yet for UCL?

[@davinajaison1473]

Hello I'm in the same position as you right now and was wondering how it went for you in the end? Please let me know if you don't mind 🙏

[@ivywang1013]

Hiya do you know how many questions are on the test in total?

[@scillaasa]

No sorry I’m not sure but it is absolutely doable! All the best!

[@TheQuantumDreamer]

Is the test and interview online for International students?

[@scillaasa]

The test is online for everyone. Most international studentsI have helped prepare had their interview online but I’d advise you to contact the admin team for info about international student interviews.

[@lilo955]

hi!! i have my exam tomorrow and i was just wondering about the essay. when you say it could be anything about health, would that mean like more ethical based or could they just make you write about like idk insulin or something. thank you for the video it was very helpful!!
