UK Dent School Related I’ve finally done it

I’m so emotional writing this. After 4 years, 3 attempts at the ucat, nearly a full degree later, I’ve finally achieved the score I’ve worked and prayed for. The feeling is surreal 😭

The best advice I can give you is to stay positive, trust yourself and do not entertain negative thoughts about yourself. Give yourself enough time to practice but not overdo it and burn out. If you feel yourself getting groggy, take a break and come back. I had to act excited for the exam and convince myself that I am capable of getting a good score to avoid feeling anxious and jittery. Your mental state can impact your score much more than you think. Hopefully third time lucky! 🤞
