this was really helpful thank you so much for this !

[@EeshaanGhanekar]

i’m glad it helped :) good luck for your exam

[@user.004]

At all ucat test centres you get given 1 laminated sheet and that doesn't change I think you can ask for another sheet I'm not sure as I'm sitting first time this year and the marker is usually permanent/semi-permanent --- also make sure the pen works before the exam starts

[@EeshaanGhanekar]

my one was like a mini notebook with a few laminated sheets, but yeah the marker was too annoying to rub off during the exam so I didn't bother with that

[@user.004]

@@EeshaanGhanekar oh okay I didn’t know that, thanks for clarifying 👍

Nice video! If you dont mind how did u do in you mocks?

[@EeshaanGhanekar]

thanks :) i was on 3 A* in my mocks but who knows what's gonna happen with my actual exams... just praying I make my offer

[@user-fh1rl9kr8x]

slay, just failed guys

[@zeinalbarmawi437]

Hi, do you think it's better to spend 3 hours on one section e.g DM rather than trying to squeeze TWO areas a day and do 1:30 minutes for each ?

[@zeinalbarmawi437]

two sections a day **

[@rishidoshi5362]

Yoo Eeshan, wassup bro, I was wondering what BMAT resources you used if you did do BMAT??

[@EeshaanGhanekar]

Sorry bro I just saw this- used Medify and the past papers but I assume your BMAT’s done now😭😭

[@tahmedhassan8469]

How similar was the actual exam compared to medify? And were there a lot of long QR questions?

[@EeshaanGhanekar]

medify was v similar to the real thing tbh, QR was okay i think there was probably one or two long stems but i remember being able to answer all of the qs so it seemed doable

[@Teni-yh5xz]

Sorry to ask but what did u get in VR since you found it hard ?

[@EeshaanGhanekar]

630

[@sofiaa1945]

I have my exam in 12 days and I am cram practising now because I have been scoring in band 4 for mocks any tips on what you did a week before your exam?

[@EeshaanGhanekar]

honestly i just did lots of mock practice, otherwise just work on the sections you are weakest at as you’re likely to have the biggest marginal benefit towards your score working on those

[@amaka0873]

nice

[@milesjao6146]

Well done, that's amazing!! Could I ask how many questions you did per day approximately and how many weeks you used to prepare?

[@EeshaanGhanekar]

no idea how many qs per day but i probably attempted around 8k qs over an 8 week period? excluding mocks

hi!! jus wanted to come back to this video and thank u for making this it was helpful calming my nerves for my ucat which I had on Friday. I ended up getting 2780 Band2 and I’m just trying to figure out what unis to apply to strategically which I’m just quite unsure about at the moment

[@sue9302]

thats so awesome!!! I have 2 weeks to go and am averaging about 2500 ... do you know if i can improve to 2700 in 2 weeks ?

[@sumaisakabir8029]

How did you do it omg

[@clear.5999]

@@sue9302 definitely. I started light revision on the 3rd (UCAT practice test B = 2030 band 3) then since the 7th, I've been using medentry to revise, like 4-8 hours per day (although rn I'm lowering down those hours to roughly 3 daily). my 'diagnostic' exam was 2440 band 2, and now, almost 2 weeks later, i've been averaging about 2750 band 1. I think you can achieve 2700, I believe in you :)

@@clear.5999 awww thank you ! have my test in a week and im still at about 2600-2400 - it fluctuates a lot!

[@zaramohamed5143]

was the pen erasable or was it a marker

[@EeshaanGhanekar]

technically erasable but erasing was a lot of effort and left some marks so I didn't bother

[@Un_known861]

YO PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDS I BEG YOU!!!

OKAY I'LL TRYYY

[@sofiaa1945]

what do you guys mean by stems loll is it the one question with different parts to it ?

[@EeshaanGhanekar]

yeah like if you have a passage in VR and then 4 qs on that “stem”

did u use medify to prepare??

yes I did, I've made a video on UCAT resources here th-cam.com/video/fIXx6Aa4LY0/w-d-xo.html
