 Helpful for some sections August 26, 2008
Iso (UK)
The book will help you mainly for the abstract reasoning and decision analysis. However the verbal reasoning section is terrible. A lot of the answers are wrong and provide invalid explanations.
Helpful? Some parts
Worth the money? No
Better alternatives? Buy the succeeding the UKCAT book.
 OK-ish August 17, 2008
Ms. K. V. Thompson (Londres)
I found the first section helpful, applying for Graduate Entry by myself means I haven't been told some of the things that I'm sure those applying straight from college will have about personal statements etc.
The questions were however too few and disproportionately difficult; though I guess being overprepared is better than under. There were also 3 errors (that I picked up on; there may in fact be more) but they were quie obvious ones so don't really impede on your learning.
Worth the 10 I paid just to feel a bit more prepared but not great.
Disappointing July 30, 2008
J. Wilson (North England)
Like most people, I bought this book for the practice questions in order to supplement those already available on the UKCAT website, as well as some useful tips on tackling the questions, managing time etc.
However, I was dissapointed to see that the majority of the book was taken up with material irrelevant to the UKCAT (e.g. all the stuff about med school application in general, and the BMAT). I also found the practice questions VERY hard, which is odd as the test itself was comparitively easy and I scored well over 700 on each section.
If you're sitting the UKCAT and can borrow a copy of the book, then go for it, you might get something out of it, but not worth buying.
Good book but lacks practice questions July 1, 2008
MedWhizz (England)
Although I found this book helpful I felt that it could have contained alot more practice questions. Half of the book talks about why you want to be a doctor and how to write your personal statement when really what I wanted was more practice questions which were in another book I bought.
 Worth the 15 June 12, 2008
Mr. Tcd Lewis (Kent, UK)
It did piss me off that I had to pay 65 to take a test when I already had the grades to get into medical school, but that's how it is these days. And seeing as I forked out 65 for the test, why should I fork out another 15 for a book to help me pass? BECAUSE THIS 15 WILL HELP YOU FULFILL YOUR AMBITION OF GETTING INTO MEDICAL SCHOOL! It's that simple. This book helped me get round the crazy abstract reasoning section by explaining what the exam questions were actually asking of me. If it wasn't for this book I would not have scored a 700 average and certainly would not have my place secured on the graduate entry 4 year course at Newcastle. BUY THIS BOOK! 15 Vs. a fulfilling career - you decide!
