@@ohenefrimpong6650 Okay, thank you for the quick response. I'll check them out, I'm currently on summer break and I sit the UCAT in June this year, I'm starting preparation a bit early but do you think I should pay for Medify now or closer to June and just focus on free resources for now?

[@ohenefrimpong6650]

@@mikemyth3000 honestly I would say don’t start preparation until about 4-6 weeks out (I took 4) just to avoid burnout and the nature of the exam. I’d buy a medify subscription then

New subscriber! I'm an international student, just decided to look into the UK for medicine and I was very unaware of what the UKCAT was. I binge-watch your videos during my practice breaks and I love them. I take my exam in a week and a half, a bit nervous but your videos calm my nerves a tad bit

[@KharmaMedic]

Welcome Simeka! I'm glad they've helped! Keep watching and keep practicing 😁 The UKCAT is a game of exposure to as many questions as possible. Good luck!!

[@Shilpa91000]

I'm a nurse and would like to do medicine. During my nursing placements I've always wished that nurses and doctors explained things in a way in which we could understand their thought processes to understand how they came to a particular conclusion or resolution for a clinical situation. Hence what u r doing through these ucat videos is exactly the technique for people to get better at doing ucat questions. Thank you!!

That's so wonderful to hear! I'm glad you can see my thought process through the videos, that was the whole goal 😁

Kharma Medic not gonna lie it wasn’t the best i forgot my passport and the test centre is about an hour’s drive from my town but they still let me sit it and my score wasn’t amazing I didn’t expect it to be bc i only had a week to study but i’m still happy i didn’t it, it was only a back up incase i didn’t get medicine in ireland but thank you for your videos they helped a lot

[@jessh5111]

My best tip is to watch medical dramas and tv shows. Whilst the medicine might be inaccurate, they usually contain many ethical and legal scenarios.

[@aishashaikh5466]

any recommendations?

[@garoash3774]

20:07 I think it’s “D” because Cameron is avoiding the situation and making the patient deal with something they shouldn’t be doing placing them in an even more uncomfortable situation

[@waterbottle164]

I completely agree, especially since the patient made it clear that many people felt uncomfortable so i should only think approaching the senior doctor in question would make them feel worse. I also think the fact that the patient came to another member of staff (or medical student) shows that they didnt want to confront the doctor.

[@cerises9386]

yea same. the patient should be able to rely on you

[@sanskritigautam4608]

[@zarav4150]

Sara Daji when the patient’s problem can harm someone else! eg. a man diagnosed with HIV but refusing to tell their partner, the doctor can break confidentiality and tell the partner as they are now at risk of contracting HIV.

Hey Nasir, at 12:45 you said that breaking patient confidentiality is never to be broken but it can be in some unique circumstances, what would those be? Love your ucat videos!

[@lou-anhlefort8598]

if the patient has seizures but refuses to tell anyone, the patient could become a danger (while driving for example) to himself and OTHERS. thats one of the exemple but in the STJ section, I don't think you have those kind of scenarios as the circumstances are pretty precise/

[@rakijayachanthiran5574]

Just questioning, for that question at 14:08, why is it just important? Would it not be very important? This is because if other staff members have increased workload, would that not affect the quality of the health care service as it is less efficient? Therefore, patient satisfaction will decreases??

[@somebodygr8845]

because the most important thing is that the errors hes making towards the patients he is dealing with, would be a harm to them

[@KharmaMedic]

I don't know! They keep this secret as far as I know

[@abdoulxc]

Hey Nasir, quick question; at Medify when I do them SJT mini-mocks, is the score I get quite reliable? It usually says “Medify scores are a guide only, and neither guarantee nor substitute UKCAT scores”.

[@KharmaMedic]

Medify is a great resource to practice and prepare yourself for the UKCAT. But of course the score you get on any one mini mock or full mock is just the score for that test. It could or could not be similar to the questions you get on exam day! Take all scores with a pinch of salt imo. It's good to track progress but it's not a direct indication of your score on exam day 😊

[@abdoulxc]

Kharma Medic oh okay that was helpful and thanks for the quick reply, I have one more question; do you have any tips on how I can solve the VR and the QR questions faster.. I’m always getting the right answer but I take way too long.. I’m a bit stressed now as my exam is in less than 9 days..

Also to the Kaplan crash course isn't worth it compared you. Kicking myself because I didnt find you earlier. Get more ads and exposure please!!

[@aciel197]

I know I'm not in the place to give out advice but use your 1 min reading sessions to convince yourself that everything is going okay/ calm down. If you use to hate everything in your existence like I did in the time between vr and dm, you're probably not going to do well in your best section :(

[@criticalhippo4294]

while the way you walk through your thought process is very useful, but you really should have shown your score at the end. the explanations for some of these questions can be odd and i think it's important to analyse and adapt to that, especially if you're demonstrating for others
