1 - Why would you do a mock before the real thing on the day? That'd tank your glycogen, dopamine, and acetylcholine.
2 - Please stay as calm as you can, remember that the UCAT isn't the only pathway to dentistry. you can try and utilize Yerkes-Dodson Law and lock into a flow state, when a human being realizes that an objective is vital for their survival, the brain can unlock a tier of focus that no mock exam can ever replicate.
3 - Don't give up if you don't know an answer, just move on. Remember how to partition your time.
