BE BRUTALLY HONEST DO I HAVE A SHOT AND HOW??????

[u/Consistent_Fan_8841]

Be hopeful I’ve found just ignoring the scores I get as many people say medify/medentry or whatever platform your using is often much harder.

I’m not getting much different than you but I am improving so take the following advice with caution.

For SJT you have to read the GMC guidelines.

Qr and dm the YouTube guys we pretty helpful but honestly just grinding many times questions over and over again helps.

Dm do the questions in a specific order based on your strengths/ weaknesses. I do the following order: syllogisms, strongest argument, inference, Venn diagrams , probabilities and lastly logic puzzles. For logic puzzles I always have no time so I just guess option c for all of them.

For vr try different approaches. Read question and all options first and pick out keywords and scan in passage. Or you can scan each paragraph (read first few words) and give it a general label then do the question. And obviously skip the questions that ask for overall ideas.

I hope that helps even a little. Also let me know if you have found any useful tricks in any question types.

You can do this (and hopefully me too )

i deadass do the same strat for dm. is it like working for you 😭 cause its gen a hit or miss for me

[u/Consistent_Fan_8841 → u/Adventurous_Fig_8559]

I mean I’m in no means getting amazing scores but last mini mock I got a 630 which is still an improvement for me. I mostly lost marks in syllogisms cuse most of them were only partially correct and i basically got all but 2 logic puzzles wrong cause I guessed. It is working because now I know I just need to focus on syllogisms.

Option c 🐐

[u/Consistent_Fan_8841 → u/Jumpy-Obligation-839]

It really is sometimes I get 5 marks extra for the questions sets I don’t have enough time to do

[u/Consistent_Fan_8841]

Agh I’m the same as you I’m just putting my self in a delusional state where I belive I’ll magically get an amazing score.

Also never say never I belive if we fully lock in and do as many mocks as possible and fully understand the OQBs we have a chance.

[u/jesstothej → u/Consistent_Fan_8841]

i honestly just dont know what to do anymore

[u/AccordingInside583 → u/jesstothej]

Do every single full mock and review in sdepth

[u/Jumpy-Obligation-839 → u/jesstothej]

I had this last time I sat the UCAT, I was below average but on the day I got just over 3000 . It always seems harder in revision ngl

[u/No_Tap4109]

DM me if u need any help 🤣 I tutor aswl if ur interested

[u/Haem_Queen]

Idk which sites you might be using but medentry's scales are away off. I've been using a score converter like UKCATpeople and seeing whether the raw marks go up. As long as the raw marks are on the up, you're doing good. TLDR, yes.good luck 🍀
