Was literally just having a mental breakdown because I'm finding the practice hard and was giving up and then this video popped up

[@EmilEddy]

amazing!

[@johnsamuels508]

Thank you for the videos pal. Found them a great help. Just sat mine today and did alright. Cheers

[@stephaniea7710]

I’m just starting out my UCAT preparation this January holidays! I like how all of your advice was straight to the point and has made my start to studying the UCAT less overwhelming. Thank you so much Emil!!

[@himiko7765]

Hi Emil, your videos are always really helpful! I have kept up my UCAT practice pretty consistently over the year, I am still having trouble with test anxiety. For the first 2 subtests I can generally score well, but I get caught up with timing in QR. I have gone back to the modules, done plenty of practice questions and spent lots of time trying to develop my 'internal clock' but I still struggle sometimes. I know the general rule is 2 minutes per question set, but when I exceed this limit I tend to immediately go on a downward spiral - I panic about not completing the question on time, which makes me go slower! However if I don't set myself that time limit, I space out and spend way too much time on the question. Even the standalone questions send me into a panic because I'm never sure how much time to allocate to them. I do think it's a problem with anxiety because I have scored highly in QR in past mocks, but recently in the lead-up to my exam, I have witnessed my scores dropping :( Do you have any advice for how to progress from here, and stop obsessing over timing while still maintaining speed?

[@eyeofregret4362]

thanks man, you're really carrying me on your back for my ucat journey. btw, you're looking fresher and fresher with each consecutive videos. keep it up :)

[@EmilEddy]

Thank you!! I'm glad you're finding it useful

[@justdalia9404]

Really thanks that was so helpful bc in my country this test not popular and it is hard to get knowledge about it

[@alexataupin8052]

This video was so helpful thank you! Do you think it's a bad thing to be overwhelmed with techniques? There are so many videos on Medentry that I haven't seen but I already have a technique down for most sections

[@Canjeero314]

Thank you so much Emil, your videos have helped me so muchh on my UCAT journey! How do you keep your energy levels up through out the entire UCAT?

[@EmilEddy]

The stuff you do before the test matters a lot, e.g getting enough sleep, taking care of your body. It's also really important to make use of those 1 minute breaks you get between the subtests. It's an amazing opportunity to reset your brain and put everything else behind you

[@Huh-pc9fq]

Absolutely amazing work here Emil!!!

[@EmilEddy]

Thank you!

got 2890 cos of you bro all love man

Hey , I’m not sure if you have seen medify but you know the VR qs are so long ?

[@dopamine9801]

what background do you use for your computer

[@mariyah1608]

Is it concerning that my ucat mock scores are inconsistent? Sometimes I will get 2900 and sometimes 2750?

[@user-ji5fg2ik8v]

Hey Emil, I was watching your live VR subtest and was just wondering whether you think it is better to skim read and focus on keywords or read the passage as you go through questions? I saw you doing the latter but I see most advice to do the former because of timing reasons.

[@EmilEddy]

it's about finding a balance between the two, I think it's not particularly useful to skim without understanding anything because you waste time in every question if you can't find the answer in 28 seconds. read so you can understand a little bit

[@badr5638]

Anyone can tell me plz, does the ucat is so much hard for international students?

[@sukoon_qalb25]

Is there any free practice website for Ucat?

[@angleofmanchester601]

Can I give ucat test online

[@neelgera9135]

When doing practise do you recommend doing mini mocks or instead doing timed practise equivalent to the actual test?

[@EmilEddy]

Depends on what stage you're in. Sometimes timed practice can be detrimental if you have bad habits. If you think your technique is decent, mini-mocks and full mocks are great

[@fireking2343]

hey Emil, I'm just starting out with UCAT practise in Year 10 and I was wondering how I would begin studying UCAT, for example how long should I be spending on UCAT a week / each session at this stage, and should I just use whatever free resources I have such as the official ucat website question bank? thanks for the video!

[@Karmelxoxo]

Starting in year 10 might be too early, because if you spend too long, you can get worse overtime

[@fireking2343]

@@Karmelxoxo is that true? maybe i'll tone down my practise and do less everyday. but i'm mainly curious because i did the vr and dm section of the official Mock A timed and i got like 32/44 and 22/29, and im not sure how good that is for a beginner

[@w7yl_]

@@fireking2343bro thats way higher than u should expect if ur a beginner haha, keep it up!

Hi Emil, when did you start preparing for the UCAT? Is it ideal to start preparing on the November prior to year 12?

[@EmilEddy]

I properly started in January of the year I sat it, so roughly 6-8 months

[@mukundg3815]

I am getting solid 2900's with my qr dm and ar hard carrying my very poor vr, how do you recommend I spend my time in each subtest?

[@EmilEddy]

not really sure what this question means! just follow the principles in the video - skip hard questions, do the easy ones

[@joanjoan5778]

I was averaging 3000 scores in MedEntry lms but took my test today and got 2390😢

[@whosthisa5]

i got 2370 last year, it is really sad because for every uni that is too low, but look up and bang out bmat prep if you can, also if i can ask, how was the difficulty of the ucat to medentry resources?

[@7rodo]

painful. did u attempt mocks from the official ucat question bank?

[@joudyabouramadan1361]

The video was amazing, thank you! Is 2 months enough time to start practicing from scratch? How many hours do you recommend I study everyday?

[@EmilEddy]

The amount of time is completely dependent on where you're at. 2 months is definitely enough and 2 hours a WEEK is enough if you use your time effectively! That being said, focus on quality over quantity and aim for at least 4 hours per week

[@jaifoe7198]

Thanks for the amazing vid. I have 2 months till my exam. Is it possable to go from 2500 to 3000+ in this time?

I’ll be making a video about this but acknowledging that you might have an addiction is really hard and a great first step that you should be proud of! It’s a very deep topic but I’d recommend you start with thinking about what draws you to game and removing those influences
