My experience with the UKCAT?

Without a doubt, the timing was the most challenging aspect.  To start with I didn’t do questions timed, just to get a feel on how to approach questions but fairly soon I started timing myself, being very strict on how long to spend. In the actual test, if I wasn’t getting anywhere within 10 seconds of starting a question I’d flag it and move on. I went through the UKCAT Candidates Toolkit (free on the UKCAT website), which had video tutorials on how to approach different types of question. I also used the Get into Medical School - 600 UKCAT Practice Questions book and did all of the mock tests on the UKCAT website, which was probably the most useful thing as it gave you an idea of how the test actually worked on the computer. Right from the start of my preparation, I kept updating a word document filled with tips I’d found genuinely helpful for each section.
