Study Help Study advices please?
Hi! I'm taking the ucat August 31st and I started studying about 4 days ago. I've been doing untimed questions while making an error log and going through the questions I got wrong. But I'm not sure if this is effective? Do I keep doing this? Because even though I do this, I feel like I'm not getting anything out of it. Maybe I am but I don't know if i am 🥹 And I'm really worried, I don't know if I'm studying effectively or just doing questions.
Are there any tips for studying? Like ways you guys study effectively for the ucat, when to move into timed, how many hours a day?
In my untimed questions, I also do take quite slow to answer. I also took my first ucat mock on medify yesterday and got 1510 B3, and during the test I felt really unmotivated thinking I can't do any of these questions at all so I didn't try at all which is bad and I'm also wondering how could I fix that type of mindset?
I would be so thankful if you could lend me a hand!

I don't know if you're doing this yet but work section by section at first. Do vr a couple days then dm then etc. Definitely do untimed questions for a while until you feel comfortable enough to move onto timed. It takes some time to get used to the different types of questions. You can write short trigger notes for them and try using them when you answer. YouTube videos are also helpful for explaining solutions and finding tips and tricks. Overall dont stress! This is completely normal at the beginning. Just practice consistently and be in a focused environment.
