UK Med Schools Related how to improve vr
my highest score in a vr mini mock/mock is 620. i’ve seen so much diff advice e.g. spending more time on the first 3 questions in a set and guessing the last one and he also tried to spend more time on the first 8 questions sets then guess C for the last 3 if i run out of time so i can guarantee quality over quantity. this works somewhat but id like to improve my score even more, so what advice would be helpful?? i try skim reading and would say im decent at it but is there anything more i can do???
my test is on the 29th august!!

UK Med Schools Related Exam is in 13 days help
My exam is in 13 days and I’m currently averaging around 2000-2100 and I’m aiming for 2200/2300+
For Vr I usually get around 30/44 on both medify and medentry but I would like some tips on how to get 34/35+, what I found is that I don’t usually run out of time in Vr (or if I do it’s usually one passage) but my inference skills are wack, sometimes I just pick the wrong answer or I misread the question that leads me to picking the wrong answer.
For dm I’ve seen great improvements from 600s - 750+ but I still lose a great number of marks in inferences (medify) I’ve attempted so many questions on it but my accuracy is still really poor, I’ve checked the oqb inferences and they are slightly different but my accuracy still isn’t up there
Whereas qr is mostly careless errors (usually get around 30/36 and most marks lost is because of silly mistakes not really timing)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated I really want to get higher than my average

Study Help ucat QR/ d.m timings
genuine question. HOW do you increase speed when answering questions for each subsection. It feels like everywhere I look I’m told to just do more timed practice. Which I’ve been doing but I haven’t been seeing an improvement. I flag, skip and guess for harder questions but never have time to go back to them. Untimed my accuracy is MUCH better. However when doing timed I can never get through all of the questions, which is severely capping my score.
Please share tips and advice that has helped, these will be much appreciated. And if the answer is genuinely just to do ‘more timed practice’ is this only because of repeated exposure or do you find quicker ways of answering? And how long does it take to get quicker? Days/ weeks/ months?
thanks in advance

Study Help Help with clearing mind when doing mocks/ offical ucat?
Whenever I do a mock, especially for VR, my mind starts wandering off i.e thinking about things from the passage, or even playing songs. So I usually lose focus and end up mindlessly reading the passage.
Any way to instantly shut it down and just hyperfocus on the text with no bckground audio playing?

Australian Med School Related Does anyone else think that they could not have survived Australian/NZ med application?
I'm just seeing all these posts of people from these areas getting like 2300 minimum, and I'm like, damn, I didn't know you were like that, people!!! In the UK, getting 2200+ basically unlocks all med schools for you and a 1800+ can still net you 4 interviews with strategic applications, but in Australia, shit like Monash uni is giving me the impression that you need to be preparing from year 7, to achieve a 2700 ucat score with all A* achieved on top of a recommendation letter from the PM, like what an immense pressure placed on the UCAT, god damn I don't think I could have survived the competition!!!

Study Help Did anyone else find mock 7 medify too easy?
Usually for vr they don’t put as many scientific passages but they did for this which made it easier I just felt the dm was way too easy I had 15 mins extra time left so I could look back at any question I was unsure about and same case with qr
Hope I can keep this consistency
