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!

Did you never do practice questions?

[@securitycamera2537]

Either your a natural genius or capping lmao

[@kirk_fr]

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

[@Alec-rh7dm]

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

[@angellll357]

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! 😊

[@SG-we9gq]

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]

Soljaboi Dunkon’eeem ah right thanks for the reply. It’s not too late for UCAT yet. I’ve been preparing for like 3 weeks and I’ve got it booked for 30th. I’m glad you think the UCAT official website is harder because I find it bloody impossible.

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]

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]

Kharma Medic ooh I see, thats what i have bene trying as well. I guess practicing is the best approach Thank you. X

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]

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!

Kharma Medic That rly helped, thanks a lot 😊

Glad you think so! Check out my other videos covering the UKCAT/UCAT 😊

[@simranbhatia4726]

I ain't belong to medical field but in India we've entrance exams for management programme which is widely known as CAT. We've same subjects except situational judgement. Your tips really motivated me alot. I've 5 months more to take the exam. The keyword in your video is "PRACTICE" which I'm relatively taking away from this video. Thank you 🌼

[@KharmaMedic]

No problem! Good luck 🙂

[@evamanson972]

Thanks for all your help! I sat my exam last week and got a score of 3140 (VR 680, DM 780, QR 850, AR 830) and a band 1 - so very pleased

[@Akira12364]

u so smart, can u please let me know how u revised

[@evamanson972]

@@Akira12364 😂 thanks. It is all about practice. I gave myself about 6/7weeks of revision. Initially I used the 1250 questions book to give an overview of the sections. Then I used medify (initially starting with the practice questions and the section specific mocks then closer to my exam I started to do full mocks. Don’t do full mocks at the start as it will likely make you stressed if you don’t get the results you want) and in the last week MedEntry. 100% recommend medify and MedEntry the book was good but not a necessity. If you have any other Qs don’t hesitate to ask

[@rubiksworld2170]

@@evamanson972wow nice! How many questions did you do per day? And also did you practice all the different subsets alternately in the same day?

Thank you so much

You are most welcome!

[@yiqunwang2450]

I like your reasoning 👍🏻

[@KharmaMedic]

Thanks Yiqun!

[@thisisnotchioma]

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.

[@angellll357]

Thank you sooo much for your videos. I ended up getting 2750 and Band 1 despite getting below 2400 in every practice test 😊. VR let me down on the actual day but your videos helped me improve QR which helped my overall score. Practicing was sometimes upsetting so thank you for your tips and reassurance.

[@beepbobeep4594]

This is so encouraging to me. My exam is in 3 days and I’ve not been doing great at all. This is such a relief, thank you

[@angellll357]

@@beepbobeep4594 Aw I’m glad to help😊. I completelyy understand how you might be feeling. I remember doing so badly on a practice test the day before my exam which was so discouraging but the exam on the actual exam day was a bit easier. I hope that’s your case too. I know it’s easier said than done, but try not to panic too much on the day and don’t go into the exam expecting to do badly like on the practice tests as that may psych you out. I wish you the best of luck🤞🏾🤞🏾 and you’ll know more than you think you do!

thanks dood

[@arjan8729]

Very helpful video! I have 5 weeks before my exam so how many hours of practise do you reckon I should do each day?

[@KharmaMedic]

2-3h! But see how you feel. If you need more do more!

[@SPLiixD]

Honestly there are sections I was really worried about, but watching this was really reassuring. Good luck in your studies, and thank you for the tips!

when is the best time to practice for the UCAT like i’m in year 12 and i have no idea what to do

[@sarakoraganie9293]

Okay so last time I did the ucat I got 540 and when I say all your advice was so spot on like a sis got 650 and a band 2!!!

[@stoicsingh472]

super helPful!

[@noonespecial9]

i did my ucat a couple days ago and got 2750 band 1. not the best but it's ok so i'm happy

[@amirrezarafati-fard6052]

Hey Karma, I have my UCAT coming up in a couple weeks and have been using medify for 3 weeks now. I was wondering how the difficulty of the practise medify questions compare to the actual exam. This video was also very helpful, thanks.

[@KharmaMedic]

Pretty similar! Some easier some harder ☺️

[@amirrezarafati-fard6052]

Kharma Medic Thx for replying. Would you say that any sections are particularly harder/easier because now that I’ve got the knack for answering the questions, I want to know how to focus my revision.

Thank you for this video. For the Abstract reasoning SCANS Method under shapes what do you mean by ‘open/closed’ and for Numbers what do you mean by ‘intersections’ and ‘particular shapes.’ and ‘regions formed’ Thank you
