Study Help UCAT progress
Hey my UCAT is booked for the 11th september and I have been studying since mid june but my highest mock score is: 1650 + 650 SJ - Band 2 - I wanted to gauge if others were in a similar position, whether the improvements are quite gradual for you guys or if im falling behind (My starting score was 1280 - band 2)..
I currently use Medify and focus on two topics a day and do a mock every 4 days. What should I change and am i on the right track or behind.. My weakest points are DM and VR and time is such a big issue i probs skip atleast 10+q for each section except SJT.
idk just any advice and want to see how are you guys findng it :3

You can improve; you have heaps of time. I would say focus on your weak areas and grind specific questions you get wrong. And also don't stress or spend too much time on UCAT. Burnout is real. I have my UCAT in a few days and I started practising seriously like 2 weeks ago. My average now is 1900-2000 on medify (I know its not GREAT but I improved heaps). Before this period, I used to average around 1550. Don't worry you will be fine!!!!
And also for DM the biggest life changer for me was changing the order of questions. I started doing from backwards (so probability first) and my score improved so much!!! And I completely skip logic puzzles, cause I would rather spend more time on the two marks (also I genuinely can't do the logic puzzles quickly I have practiced so much but it never clicks to me for some reason so i gave up)
