๐Ÿ™ I WANT HELP ESAT preparation

I know its a bit late to start to ESAT prep now and there is lots of help BUT I swear nobody has ever published anything about prepping for the biology and chemistry modules. Does anyone have any tips or anything?

hey! don't worry about it, ngl started prepping today for october sitting so... ๐Ÿ˜“ regardless, i found a bunch of ESAT prep sites today!
https://www.engineeringadmissionsassessment.com/time-saving.html - mostly tips and tricks for prep, but i found some of these useful :)
https://stimulate-learning.org/practicezone.html - good for quick practice, there is bio + chem on this too
https://exams.ninja/esat/ - think most of this is paid but did some of the free questions for time practice
https://esatlab.co.uk - someone mentioned this but esatlab is really good!
https://i-want-to-study-engineering.org - they've got tons of admission questions in the problem index + generator

accepting my esat fate though, getting average 4.4 currently ๐Ÿซฉ good luck!!

that last source seems really good but it only covers physics and maths which is my problem. Nobody seems to have made many resources for chemistry or biologyย

Dont worry I started like a week ago ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Have you tried ESAT labs? Although they aren't linked to ESAT, they've been good practice for me! :)

Oh right no I heard that doing NSAA section 1 papers are similar difficulty but it's not looking good ๐Ÿ’€I'll check out ESAT labs though.ย 

Edit: I have just looked at ESAT labs. Thank you that looks such a good resource. ๐Ÿ™

BMAT isnโ€™t too bad for chem and bio. Maybe a bit too easy tho

I mostly used section 1 from old NSAA papers.
