    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!

      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!

    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

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

    • @angellll357
      @angellll357 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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! 😊

    • @KharmaMedic
      @KharmaMedic  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      From my experience of the UKCAT and MCAT, excelling in verbal is hugely beneficial. It's the section that's hardest to learn. The other sections are easier to get better at with practice. Good for you!

    • @SG-we9gq
      @SG-we9gq 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.

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.

    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
      @KharmaMedic  5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      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!

      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!
