some questions about the ucat (1 Viewer)

[niecoups]

Hello!

I know this is a rlly commonly asked question and has probably been answered numerous times before but i'm deciding to switch from a certain previous just rude and imo just scammy ucat prep company (pls dont come for me) to either medify or medentry after hearing many people and MD uni students in person and online having used either one of them to prep but i'm just curious to see what your opinions on either one of these prep q banks are like in detail if you have personally used either one of them and how they end up in comparison to the real thing. I'm also not the most confident in my approach to doing ucat questions tbh so if any of them have any skill trainers that geniunely help i'd also be interested in those.

Also to those who have also done the actual ucat before, could I also ask about some nitty gritty things about the actual test when you do it in centre?
A while ago i did this in person mock exam which was selfproclaimed apparently to be very accurate to the actual ucat exam and I remember them providing only one laminated sheet as working out paper for the entirety of the exam and a computer which geniuenly was so bright it singed by eyeballs during the entirety of the 2 hours of the exam when i had done it and I could not change the screen brightness at all bc it was at the lowest it could be set at (think microsoft pc at lowest resolution it stings my eyes)

Sorry i dont mean to complain or if its rlly obvious but in the actual ucat do you only get one piece of lamninated paper for working out/ are you able to change settings like resolution/brightness/text size or anything? Bc I think one piece of lamintated a4 paper for working out is just cruel considering all the working out you need for dm and qr and whiteboard marker takes so much frekcing time to rub off with dry exam room tissues especially when you only have one page to work on. It might also just be my sensitive eyes but for me bright screens rlly strain and hurt my eyes and it rlly hinders my ability to read and concentrate so I was wondering if during the ucat there are any options to change brightness resolutions? I've only ever used macbooks to do practice questions which allows for much more darker resolutions which is why i'm also not used to bright screens but if needed I am ready to come to the actual exam with sunglasses if permitted.

Thank you!

is this mock from medview

 

[Average Boreduser]

I think I did that mock today bruh nah dont worry chief. That was not an accurate representation of the ucat.

 

[Average Boreduser]

its x right

 

[Average Boreduser]

Some things I want to you to realise is that the check in is way more prof. You will be asked to sign a document and also you have ur photo taken be4 ur given a key to put all of ur stuff. Then u go into the centre it is nicely lit and the brightness should not be that bad. The test from mission med was unrealistic as well. The QR section was really iffy and keyboard shortcuts did not work and thus the subtest was quite literally pointless. VR was really keyword scanning concentrated which is not an accurate reflection of the real ucat

 

[Average Boreduser]

The last 6 qns for dm were not accurate either as they literally just shoved every qn type into the last 6 qns and called it a day.

 

[Average Boreduser]

ye it was but if its okay I dont rlly wana mention organisation names bc if they see this they are gonna complain i feel like and esp with m.v i have rlly strong opinions on them

yea no prob i just changed my wording

 

[Average Boreduser]

for ref I left after the keyboard shortcuts didnt work for qr

 

[Average Boreduser]

And also idk if u knew this but in the real ucat u cant take ur phone inside the testing room

Help I rlly appreciate you talking about how you felt about the exam (honestly saying the keyboard shortcuts worked for me and tbh I cant rlly talk about how accurate of a representation i thought the qs was etc) but my post is rlly more of asking about peoples experiences with medentry and medify as well as the specifics of the actual exam with the computer and stuff rather than how that mock exam was but I do understand a real test would not be anything like that mock exam but I dont want this to be spammed with unrelated things sry

For VR: Medentry is better - more infernece based qns
DmQR- Medify more realistic representation on what you can expect on the day
I suggest getting both but if you wanted to only buy 1 medify >
