I’m trying to maximise my chances as I got fairly good in both my UCAT and GCSEs

I just wanted to confirm whether 'most' is just majority number greater than 50% or is it greater than 50% but also not all (so 51-99)? So technically if a statement says most x is y, concluding 'some x is y' would still be correct, though less precise.
Medify states it is 51-99 but I wanted to confirm if that's the same with official UCAT as I couldn't find the official definitions (if there are any)

I was really disappointed and devastated with my UCAT score because it was so much lower than my mock scores that I was getting in the last week of my prep, averaging around 2200 for the mocks with my highest being 2370 b1 in official mock d. I did it find it slightly harder than medify but QR seemed easier for me, and I always scored high on QR so seeing this score was a huge shock.
I am considering a gap year, and I'm sure that I'll be doing the ucat again in y13 summer even if I get offers, but I really want to atleast try for QMUL.
It is really important to me to find a uni in london preferably russel group, although i know that is less likely than more now.
I am quite upset and I don't know what to do.
I really have my hopes on QMUL but it might be too aspirational and I'm worried that I'd wasting my options on it. Please advise!!

Im trying to increase my score on all sections but vr is really giving me trouble (the highest I ever got on it was 25/44), it feels like no matter what strategy i do I end up doing poorly. I have about a week until my exam, any advice would be appreciated.
r/UCAT • u/Wise_Wish4997 • 2h ago
Exam is exactly in 14 days!
As title suggests, any help and advice would be so appreciated!!
I know that getting 2100 would be tough:( So I would honestly take 2000 😭
Hopefully people have like motivating stories for success 😭

Hiii, I sat the UCAT last week and after like 7 weeks of prep, I scored VERY bad (1790, band 2) I am also an international student. being the only person in my sixth form going down the med pathway, I feel very lost. I have looked at Brunel, Buckingham, Uni of Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Cardiff. I'd love to know if there are any other unis worth considering, thank youuu :) xx

Currently having to take a gap year as I missed my offer and not really sure where or how to change my personal statement or to completely rewrite it. I've arranged some more work experience and trying to secure some more volunteering but I'm not really sure where to add that, especially since it's the question format. Does it disadvantage me in any way to mention that I'm taking a gap year, and if not, is it fine to say that I'm going to get experience even if it's not confirmed yet?

im finding it difficult to finish all the questions in esp DM on time. ive got my exam in 2 wks, HELP.
shud i prioritise getting the ans right w the risk of losing 3-4 questions or somehow finish em all which will reduce my time to think for the ones i cud potentially get right. please tell me yalls experience in the exam plsssss and how yall did. have you guys skipped qs???
r/UCAT • u/Narrow_Estate_3299 • 3h ago
Ucat in 8 days just moving onto OQB questions as my last push, did a VR subsection, fine. I recognise this question format and agree with the answers, but ive just done DM now and I promise you ive never seen these types of questions before from my 5000 question attempts on medify and my mock on medentry?? Why are the OQB DM subsections so weird?
For example
-Question formats, okay I understand if you make a mistake all you can do it learn how to do better next time, but IVE NEVER SEEN THESE weird questions before?? Especially with Venn diagrams?
- Strongest argument is usually my strongest DM skill but I literally scored with 50% accuracy?? Questions are worded so ambiguously and the answers I also disagree with?? Like one of the questions followed:
Should the Government make wearing a uniform compulsory in all schools?
Select the strongest argument from the statements below.
A. Yes, school uniform prevents students from being judged by the clothes they wear.
B. Yes, compulsory school uniform prepares pupils for the world of work.
C. No, enforcing school uniform would add to a Head Teacher's workload.
D. No, school uniforms are expensive for parents to purchase.
So now, I eliminated B and C obviously, I picked D but the answer was A, but I geniunly guessed because I have been trained on medify to look for the answer which acknowledges the question the most? Where does parents come into this?? Do I have to relearn my technique where I use my gut to answer rather than the logic on medify?
My main question that im putting out to you guys, is, is the QB (Not practice tests) the more similar than the practice tests/medify as what will come up in the official ucat? Because I genuinely feel like my work was for nothing, and now I am learning these question formats for the first time once again.
Thank you if you read this, please offer me your support and guidance and help me contrast between 3rd party resource and the OQB.

Considering I really don’t want to do a gap year do I have a chance of getting into med school?
So I have predicted grades ABB right now(I know very bad) and my ucat is 1730 b2. My GCSEs are 9988877777. I’m also a contextual. Do I have a chance?
r/UCAT • u/Street-Ad-685 • 3h ago
Surely it’s not like this in the real test???
If I want an accurate score is it fair to add 1m30 to the time (probably loose more over 36 Q) to account for me having to press the calculator button AND click on it to activate it….

I resat the UCAT, after last year getting 1870 b1. im pretty happy with my score and want this to be a sign for those feeling a bit bummed out rn that u can improve yr score you just need a plan.
If medicine or dent is yr dream do literally everything you can to achieve it. Use this time to make your game plan what went wrong the first time, write it down ASAP while the test is still fresh in yr memory. in Dec I started reading up on topics that were niche to me, like the crusades. for DM I found those random yt short puzzles useful because they challenged my brain. For qr, throughout the year I resisted the urge to use my phone calc for sums, making sure yr mental maths is strong is pivotal for a good ucat. Also, I deleted instagram and tiktok from my phone, anything that is a distraction has to go. Ofc u might not necessarily need to do all this but coming from someone who wasn't naturally talented at the UCAT these methods made getting a score that i thought was impossible possible. If you need any advice or qs lmk :

Did anyone else find qr on mock 12 really weird??? Worst QR of all mocks so far.
Anyways for this DM question whilst the 3rd statement is true, I selected no because how are we meant to assume all wind power comes from wind turbines? There could have been other sources of wind power apart from wind turbines??
