I am mentally exhausted and overwhelmed as I graduated some time ago. I am trying to study for this test after failing so many times with hope that your videos are very helpful resources with a lot of hints and tips 😃👍 Thank you. Have a good day 😃👍
I’m just starting out my UCAT preparation this January holidays! I like how all of your advice was straight to the point and has made my start to studying the UCAT less overwhelming. Thank you so much Emil!!
thanks man, you're really carrying me on your back for my ucat journey. btw, you're looking fresher and fresher with each consecutive videos. keep it up :)
Hi Emil, your videos are always really helpful! I have kept up my UCAT practice pretty consistently over the year, I am still having trouble with test anxiety. For the first 2 subtests I can generally score well, but I get caught up with timing in QR. I have gone back to the modules, done plenty of practice questions and spent lots of time trying to develop my 'internal clock' but I still struggle sometimes. I know the general rule is 2 minutes per question set, but when I exceed this limit I tend to immediately go on a downward spiral - I panic about not completing the question on time, which makes me go slower! However if I don't set myself that time limit, I space out and spend way too much time on the question. Even the standalone questions send me into a panic because I'm never sure how much time to allocate to them. I do think it's a problem with anxiety because I have scored highly in QR in past mocks, but recently in the lead-up to my exam, I have witnessed my scores dropping :( Do you have any advice for how to progress from here, and stop obsessing over timing while still maintaining speed?
i got 2370 last year, it is really sad because for every uni that is too low, but look up and bang out bmat prep if you can, also if i can ask, how was the difficulty of the ucat to medentry resources?
The stuff you do before the test matters a lot, e.g getting enough sleep, taking care of your body. It's also really important to make use of those 1 minute breaks you get between the subtests. It's an amazing opportunity to reset your brain and put everything else behind you
@ammarahissufo6482 mines in exactly a week from now. I'm literally gonna need a miracle at this rate. My mocks are so awful, I've done two and they're both around a 2070 + 640 SJT. I guess it's a good thing my uni only weights the ucat score at 15% for med school admission. Yeah I'm pretty cooked
@@Nev_25 You're so lucky they dont give that much of a damn, the uni i want to go is SO ucat heavy Good luck, I'm sure you'll make it I'll pray for you ahaha
This video was so helpful thank you! Do you think it's a bad thing to be overwhelmed with techniques? There are so many videos on Medentry that I haven't seen but I already have a technique down for most sections
Hey Emil, I was watching your live VR subtest and was just wondering whether you think it is better to skim read and focus on keywords or read the passage as you go through questions? I saw you doing the latter but I see most advice to do the former because of timing reasons.
it's about finding a balance between the two, I think it's not particularly useful to skim without understanding anything because you waste time in every question if you can't find the answer in 28 seconds. read so you can understand a little bit
Depends on what stage you're in. Sometimes timed practice can be detrimental if you have bad habits. If you think your technique is decent, mini-mocks and full mocks are great
Same, I’m averaging at around 450 for each subtest and I have 12 days until my exam 🥲 I’m so close to giving up because I just don’t see any chance for improvement
hey Emil, I'm just starting out with UCAT practise in Year 10 and I was wondering how I would begin studying UCAT, for example how long should I be spending on UCAT a week / each session at this stage, and should I just use whatever free resources I have such as the official ucat website question bank? thanks for the video!
@@Karmelxoxo is that true? maybe i'll tone down my practise and do less everyday. but i'm mainly curious because i did the vr and dm section of the official Mock A timed and i got like 32/44 and 22/29, and im not sure how good that is for a beginner
I’ll be making a video about this but acknowledging that you might have an addiction is really hard and a great first step that you should be proud of! It’s a very deep topic but I’d recommend you start with thinking about what draws you to game and removing those influences
The amount of time is completely dependent on where you're at. 2 months is definitely enough and 2 hours a WEEK is enough if you use your time effectively! That being said, focus on quality over quantity and aim for at least 4 hours per week
Was literally just having a mental breakdown because I'm finding the practice hard and was giving up and then this video popped up
amazing!
Hopefully you did not give up. Stay strong brutha!

how did your ucat go? hopefully all well
got 2890 cos of you bro all love man
This made me feel a bit better but still depressed
The video was exquisite keep going Emil.
Thank you!
Really thanks that was so helpful bc in my country this test not popular and it is hard to get knowledge about it
same here ! UCAT is not common at all in my country and med entry was a life saviour 😇
thanks lil bro ur ucat very helpful lil bro
I was averaging 3000 scores in MedEntry lms but took my test today and got 2390😢
i got 2370 last year, it is really sad because for every uni that is too low, but look up and bang out bmat prep if you can, also if i can ask, how was the difficulty of the ucat to medentry resources?
painful. did u attempt mocks from the official ucat question bank?
Your like me fr im retaking it this year :( i also got 2.8k in the official mocks including the hard ones...
@@whosthisa5 will 2530 work for most uni?
Not really at all@iceberrymusicltd.408
Thank you so much Emil, your videos have helped me so muchh on my UCAT journey!
How do you keep your energy levels up through out the entire UCAT?

Hi Emil. How much time do you recommmend dedicating to UCAT preperation everyday? Thanks.
YOOOOOOOO this year UCATS gonna be the best one yet thanks to you #thirdtimesacharm
you got this!
how'd it go?
@@amberi8919 3600 and a Band 1 is what I heard
my UCAT is in 2 weeks and im still really bad at it - is there any hope?
How did it go?
When doing practise do you recommend doing mini mocks or instead doing timed practise equivalent to the actual test?
Depends on what stage you're in. Sometimes timed practice can be detrimental if you have bad habits. If you think your technique is decent, mini-mocks and full mocks are great
can I master my practice a month before the UCAT? :(
do I make you nervous?
U r the actual best 😅
Hey , I’m not sure if you have seen medify but you know the VR qs are so long ?
just found this channel and you did amazing! 3310 wow bro i think it's the highest result i've heard yet
Literally watching this after scoring 300 below my average on a mock two week before my UCAT. I’m freaking out right now😢.

@@shifaali8297dont give up just be calm and confident
QR is so hard
I am getting solid 2900's with my qr dm and ar hard carrying my very poor vr, how do you recommend I spend my time in each subtest?
not really sure what this question means! just follow the principles in the video - skip hard questions, do the easy ones
what background do you use for your computer
Hi Emil, when did you start preparing for the UCAT? Is it ideal to start preparing on the November prior to year 12?
I properly started in January of the year I sat it, so roughly 6-8 months
need one to one tutoring, possible?
when did u start getting 3000+?
thats a good question it usually happens weeks before UCAT FROM MY EXPERIENCE AND FRIENDS THAT HAVE GOTTEN 95 PERCENTIL;ES
Yeah I got 3000+ roughly a month before but I practiced for around 6 months
@@EmilEddy Would you recommend practicing for a long time or would you say it varies?
Can I give ucat test online

Starting in year 10 might be too early, because if you spend too long, you can get worse overtime

@@fireking2343bro thats way higher than u should expect if ur a beginner haha, keep it up!
@@fireking2343honestly don’t rush into it, you could be improving your grades as you have 2 years till you actually sit the exam
@@fireking2343 its extremely good, that would be around 2900 if it was throughout the entire ucat
HOW DO I GET RID OF MY GAMING ADDICTION😢
I’ll be making a video about this but acknowledging that you might have an addiction is really hard and a great first step that you should be proud of! It’s a very deep topic but I’d recommend you start with thinking about what draws you to game and removing those influences
Make ucat into a game then get addicted to it instead

@@saketsaxena724 lmao sure but for now keep gaming while you still can 😢
@@emmy.vosper yeah but gotta start the good habits now if you wanna be a doctor
Anyone can tell me plz, does the ucat is so much hard for international students?
The video was amazing, thank you! Is 2 months enough time to start practicing from scratch? How many hours do you recommend I study everyday?
The amount of time is completely dependent on where you're at. 2 months is definitely enough and 2 hours a WEEK is enough if you use your time effectively! That being said, focus on quality over quantity and aim for at least 4 hours per week
Is it concerning that my ucat mock scores are inconsistent? Sometimes I will get 2900 and sometimes 2750?
Is there any free practice website for Ucat?
PassMed and UCAT website 😊
I have mine in 8 days and I feel so underprepared 😢
My teacher telling me i probably won’t make it into uni for medicine doesn’t make it any easier
@@lol.1296so how much did you get? did you prove her wrong?
@@jadephoenix222 no she proved me wrong I got 2370 it was so embarrassing having to tell her I butchered it😭
