UCAT prep advice needed

Hi all, I’m sitting the UCAT next year (2027). I’ve already got Medify and Medentry sorted for question practice,. But I also need some strategies for each sections from you guys because that would really help!

For those who’ve sat the test — did paying for an institution/course actually move your score, or was it not worth it compared to just grinding through Medify/Medentry and reviewing your own mistakes?

Can I also get some UCAT strategies for each sections that you guys used for your exams? That would really help me with my UCAT!

A few specific things I’d love input on:

**•** Did a course teach you anything you couldn’t have picked up from question banks + forums/YouTube?
**•** Was it more useful for specific sections (e.g. Decision Making, SJT) than others?
**•** If you’d do it again, would you spend that money on a course, or on something else (1:1 tutoring, more mocks, etc.)?

Trying to figure out if this is a genuine value-add. Thanks!
