Hey guys! My DIGITIZED UCAT NOTES are now for sale! 🥳You can get a copy over on my Etsy shop at www.etsy.com/uk/shop/KharmaMedic !
They’re a drastic improvement of my handwritten notes - I’ve added multiple NEW sections including DM notes, time saving tips & tricks, guides on how to prepare for the UCAT test, and how to know if your score is competitive and more! 😀
Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel ❤ Happy studying!
Thanks for tuning in! If you found this video useful please like & share it with your friends who are also taking the UCAT 😁 Subscribe for more content coming ASAP!
Abstract reasoning was the part I was most afraid of : ( But at least I got it better thanks to the videos! My UCAT will be in September : )
That's great to hear! Good luck 😁
I'm sooooo thankful. Thank you soooo much for helping others .Really appreciate it ,I watch your videos to help me with the UKCAT ✨💕
Hey Faduma I'm so glad you enjoy them 😁 If you have any friends who might find my videos useful to do share it with them ❤️
Just did my UCAT exam! your tutorials were incredible! I also took your advice and bought Medify. Although medify was great, the questions in the actual UCAT were much harder (what i found). My score was prettttyyyyy shit not gonna lie. 2290 :( and 621 for SJT
Sorry to hear you didn't do as well as you'd hoped. Glad I could help along the way and thanks for the feedback! Good luck in your applications 🙂
Thank you, I need to do it this year and your videos are helping me a lot! Great content!! :)
Thanks Ariadna 😊
Your videos helped sm last year, i got 690 in AR which i was happy about. Unfortunately i have to reapply to medicine this year, so hopefully I can get even higher this time round.
can you please share all your written notes!! that would be so helpful
Amazing!
decision making and QR walkthrough/ speed tips please! ur vids are super helpful :)
I have videos on the DM and QR section from last year on the channel, check them out! But also more videos coming soon (DM is next ;) )
Thanks for the video 💜
You are most welcome Snehith!
Great video dude. It'll surely be very very helpful.
Thanks Skorzo! There's plenty more UCAT videos on the channel if you want to check them out :)
Great video as always but these questions appeared pretty simple, how do you think they compare to the real exam and other books and online services because you could see that the majority of participants would get them right
I found this very useful
Thanks heaps Nasir, it’s sooo helpful!! with ucat date approaching I’m just getting more nervous.......and look at the ease with which u r doing😍......shows the amount of practice u did😀!!
Waiting for ur next video!!
Thanks again!
Yay! I'm so happy the videos are helping 😁 yeah I've done tonnes of practice haha! Practice makes perfect 💯
From my point of view, it is best to not time yourself for at least the first 10-15 shapes as this can become very stressful very quickly! I completed my UCAT preparation from iCanMed and they offered me mock test having AR questions same as the live UCAT exam. It was really very helpful for me. I suggest you enrol in the UCAT preparation course by iCanMed and ace the exam.
thanks for this! I'm just watching this whilst eating breakfast and about to head out and take my ucat 🤞😭
Good luck!
@@KharmaMedic thanks! I got an average of 692.5, honestly not sure if that's good or bad but seems decent
hallo today I did my MMI and I did everything you said thank you soooo much I TOLD AT INSTGRAM BUT I don't think its enough I JUST WANT TO go over all of your social media and thanks I HOPED just if I discover you earlier
ahahaha thanks so much! I'm very appreciative of all your messages ❤️ I'm so glad I could help and if anyone you know could use my videos to help them prepare please do share them 😁

@@rishigembali6066 true!
Can you do another live answering session for Verbal Reasoning? =)
At the moment it seems almost impossible to answer those in the time restrictions. It would be very useful to know it can be done and how it's done.
I've got one on the channel already but more are coming soon 🙂 That video has lots of tips on how to answer within the time restrictions!
Can't recommend your videos highly enough - abstract reasoning was the section I struggled with most and your videos really helped me improve my score and I ended up earning myself two interviews (so far)! Really appreciate you making these videos and I'm currently going through your others to help me with my interviews!
Thankyou :)
Amazing!
Kharma Medic quick update for you - secured myself an offer at NCL for grad medicine. Thankyou for all your help!
If you don't mind me asking, what was your score? :))
I got 3070 overall and band 1 for situational judgement
How long did you prep for and what was ur porgression.ik I'm v v late
Being from Spain I did not know about this exam, but it’s like an IQ test we take at age 15. For me it’s fairly easy as they are all similar in reasoning
did you use medify when you prepared for your exam? or what other materials have you used?
Thanks
I wish! I didn't even know question banks existed. Having used medify over the last year I couldn't more highly recommend it. I used the Amazon 1250 UKCAT questions book, the official UCAT questions and mock tests (from their website) and watched a lot of TH-cam videos.
So for the question you got wrong for the set A or B was the first answer B ? Thanks
Thanks very useful.
My pleasure!
Yo guys for the second one I didn't check the positioning of the pacmans but rather the colour pattern on the right and I figured only 1 and 4 sided shapes are coloured which was proven to be right by the answer, was this probably just a coincidence or this is a possible pattern also?
12:11 r u referring to meme review ?
YES!
Wow, déjà vu! I’m so glad I don’t have to do UCAT this year
Haha yeah it's such a great feeling to be done with it! Also one year flies by
Could you possibly make a more detailed video on triaging?? I'm finding AR and QR really hard due to time constraints.
Thanks so much for everything!!!
Watch my most recent video on time management!
Is it possible to do one item per 14 seconds or is that just an unrealistic target that UCAT books are suggesting?
It's definitely possible! Once you've figured out the pattern in 20/30 seconds you only need about 5 seconds per question. So it averages out to about 14s per question. You just have to do looots of practice to get good at it!

@@KharmaMedic Cheers. Do you think that It's worth getting Medify over using the new official UCAT question bank. Really struggling with the UCAT at the moment.

@@sambridge5818 I feel like the official UCAT mocks (for QR and AR) are overkill. The QR in medify is easier than the official questions and same goes for the AR (although the AR in medify is pretty challenging nonetheless). I heard that people find QR questions in the UCAT mocks harder than the real exam. i hope so.
how do you good in verbal reasoning
I have a whole video about it on my channel with many tips! Check it out 🙂
The questions on my ISC medical textbook are so much harder than these
syed rayan no cAP
The ISC questions are infuriating
Practising UCAT current and the triangle/circle question at about the 12:00 mark is a classic example of how arbitrary these answers can be 😬 Your reasoning was perfectly valid and worked but you weren’t able to read the mind of the questions author and so you lost marks. Hopefully there isn’t much like that in the real test!
Yeah that happens sometimes! It's totally okay though. You learn these super sneaky tricks over time and even if this happens on one question and you score 3/5 you're doing GREAT!
This is basically a iq test, so they don’t want low iq people in med schools. Well that sucks
I don't think so. It's a test you can definitely improve on greatly with practice. It takes time, discipline, and motivation
