How to do UCAT Practice

How to take a UCAT practice test

With that fateful UCAT day looming, no doubt you will have already done many UCAT practice exams. You may have done these tests to check the skills you still need to learn, to see if you’ve improved or simply to help you feel more comfortable performing under test conditions. Whatever the reason, there are few simple measures that you can follow to ensure that you can get the most out of your practice tests.

• When doing a UCAT practice test try to imitate what it will be like to actually sit the test. Start at the same time as your allocated test session.
• Try to use a desktop computer rather than a laptop. This will imitate even more closely the actual test taking scenario.
• Complete the entire practice test in one sitting
• Learn the basic instructions for the test. Make sure you memorise the important ones and know what you are doing, that way you don’t have to waste time on the test day making sure you are following the rules correctly.

Remember, developing effective UCAT Practice strategies that work for you are crucial to succeeding in not only the UCAT but many other tests you will take throughout life. The more you practise the better you will become at recognising types of questions, being comfortable at answering them and knowing how to properly allocate time to questions in each subtest. The MedEntry UCAT practice LMS has numerous UCAT practice exams and the UCAT Practice database contains practice UCAT questions for all five subtests. Working through these will be useful practise for sitting the actual UCAT.
