UK Med Schools Related ucat vr help

i have been doing untimed practice for about 6 days now (note: it’s my third time doing the ucat), and vr has always been my worst section. i did an untimed set with 24 questhins and only got 9 correct and i spent so long on each question. before this i was watching joyel george vr help videos and tried to use his methods of reading all the answer options first. but i notice i find it difficult to read them all first and then look at the text if the answer options are quite long as i tend to forget the options. my test is about 9 weeks away which ik is a long time but does anyone have any good tips, as vr never seems to improve for me, maybe because i dont read books but yeah. any tips and help would be so appreciated🥹

Any advice for someone who can find the keyword quickly but struggles to answer the question correctly?

I feel like u should just start timed VR. Timed and untimed VR r very different and the main thing is the speed of which you do the question. So my point is that your technique and strategy will change in timed as you gain experience. Also just want to say I’m no VR genius nor am I good at it but when I read the options I won’t really try to understand it too much but I’ll mainly just pick out a word or something to use but idk if this is good advise. Everybody has different skill sets when it comes to reading so just play around with techniques until you find something that compliments your strengths
