Hi Norman, I achieved eight 9s and two eights in my GCSEs today, thank you so much for your revision help and motivation. The five pound gift cards and dt flashcards were also a big bonus :). I'm also going into medicine and these UCAT videos would seem very valuable. Anyway thank you so much and I hope you know your a beautiful soul. Good luck for A levels and finding a university.
Nouman you absolutely killed it!! That is honestly such an amazing score you should be really proud. I don’t need to do the UCAT for Biomed but it was entertaining to follow you on your journey haha! So glad that you keep all your options available and I wish you all the best with the application process 🙌🎉
Great job Nouman! I sat the UCAT for the 2nd time 2 weeks ago and I still remember all the stress leading up to test day. With a score of 3100 and my A-Level results last week, I hope I'm in a good position to get some interviews. Hope BMAT prep and the rest of the med school application process goes well for you!
Congrats on your score Nouman! Just got 8 9s and 2 7s in my GCSEs, getting pretty much the exact grades I wanted. Your revision videos were so helpful.❤
Just got my results. Your last minute tips practically saved my ass so thank you bro. I got mainly 6's across the board but its far better than I was doing in year 10 (3s,4s). So thank you
Seriously well done. You should be so proud of yourself, not just for your overall score but for the perseverance you showed in the process. That feeling of the more work you do, the worse you get is so demotivating. Respect for sticking it at and I'm so glad it worked out for you!
TYSM! this entire video was so relatable! my UCAT is after tomorrow, technically tomorrow as it's 12am rn😭 i was just gonna sleep but i was searching yt for ucat experience videos so i can relax a bit. I watched a few but they didn't go into as much detail as you did! The montage of you stressing was so funny because that's what happens to me everyday! And i relate to the fact that we've also been doing year 12 revision all year (I was also taking national AS levels so it was so stressful)! This whole summer has been taken up by the UCAT and I relate to the fact that the UCAT just isn't dependent on how hard you study unlike academia! It's annoying! I've been studying so hard since the beginning of June but still my mock scores have been so disappointing! I realised anything can happen in the exam and I won't stress today to save all that energy for the exam!
Just relax now and remember that u’ve put in sm effort into this so its all going to go extremely well in your exam! I wish u best of luck and tell me how it goes!!!
Hi, idk if this comment is too late now or not, but if it isn't, best of luck with your exam. By now, just try and put yourself in a good state of mind, be in a good mood, have that sense of confidence that you WILL do well, and even if you don't get what's expected, all you need to do is adjust your uni options to fit your ucat scores, or choose unis that don't focus as much on the exam. Apart from that, take a deep breath once you're in the exam centre, don't just rush to start the test, start it when you're ready, and then after that, remember that you'd not need to touch this rubbish in a long time (if not ever).
Congrats Nouman that is really good got mine on 25th and hoping I do just as well as you. Something I realised was that rest is so important, I was doing 2/3 mocks per day last week and scored an average of 2500 and was so disappointed, I took like a 3/4 day rest literally did nothing played TOTK watched CZcams etc. got my mind off UCAT and then in the evening did a mock and my score improved quite a bit to 2800. So keeping your mind relaxed and rested enough in the few days before your UCAT is definitely very important as well.
yeahh that happened to me quite a bit as well, sometimes I'd just overwork myself and get more and more stressed as my scores just continue to plummet, but then I'd give it some time and then come back to it a few days later, and do exceptionally well.
Allahumabarik bro what a journey it has veen tryna follow in ur footsteps got gcse results in 2 days in sha allah all goes well but once again congrats u can sleep in peace
@@NoumanSami icl alhamdulillah for everything but i got 2 9s 6 8s and 2 6s 2 6s were in subjects i was getting 9s in such as pe and eng lit even though after the exam i felt like i shld get a 9 so ill try remark other than that idk if it will be good enough for med but thanks
@@mohib3383 you honestly dont need to stress about medicine from your GCSE grades, most unis don't even look at them, and if they do, they'll have very low scores such as like getting a 5 in english language.
Yes Nouman you are amazing! Really proud of you for getting an amazing score and hopefully many great things come for you in the future!! Griding out my 11th year and hopefully it goes well.
Well Done!!! This gave me more hope, as i had been working rly hard and seeing no progress lol and so much variance in my section scores with like random bursts of success. Are the offical UCAT mocks the most accurate? Also your editing makes me smile.
Congratulations my bro!! My exam is on 13 September, can u please give me some tips on how to tackle maths and verbal reasoning section on ucat. Thank you
Can u make a video just to point out the best revision for this year's UCAT as alot of the current videos are outdated and this year most people say VR and DM more difficult than on any platforms of revision. If u can just show us what stuff to use to be prepared for these harder Qs that would be great. Also really well done on ur exma, thats amazing!
Hey man, congrats on ur UCAT score, its such a good score so you shouldn't worry about interviews. I just got a few questions about your experience. 1) For VR you said the passages were really long, were the passages really with long with heavy inference type of questions? 2) Was DM different to Medify? And were the syllogisms complicated? 3) Would you say QR was easier than medify?
Thanks so much!! 1) It was in the heat of the moment as well, but it felt like i had barely any true/false/can't tell questions, and just non stop inference questions and with texts that barely made sense. Tbh a lot of the questions felt straightforward and easy to find in the text, so I'm not really sure what happened. 2) The syllogisms were..strange, but not too different to the medify ones. They just were a bit longer (even the ones near the start which usually are fairly short). 3) QR felt much easier in the real thing than in medify, for most of the exam i was just doing the same thing over and over again.
I have my exam soon and ngl I'm really nervous now 😭 I'm not getting the best scores even with practice and you said it's harder in the real exam so I'm so screwed.
Congrats bro. How realistic would you say the medify mocks and mini mocks are. Are they realistic of the actual ucat? Also what kind of score were you getting towards the end of your ucat prep
Thanks so much!! I personally think that starting like 6 weeks prior is a good amount of time, doing an hour or two a day at the start and slowly increasing it near the end
Just sat my one, thru out prep I kept getting 2300-2400 but somehow managed to hit a 2760 in my actual one, and I got 820 in AR, idek how but I’m so relieved it’s over
@ishqiahmed I am getting 2300-2400 as well how did you improve your score , it will be very helpful if you can give some tips as I am so stressed out right now
@@user-fizz-r6y I’m going to be honest I’m actually not sure, I remember checking my spreadsheet and all of my mocks were between 2300-2400, there was only one test I got 2600 but that was it, and then came the actual UCAT and I got a 2760, I think it’s just on the day hopefully you will be more focused, that’s what worked for me but everyone is different
@@user-fizz-r6y so just make sure to stay calm and collected, and use tips such as skipping and not spending too much time on questions, sections like AR, I would spend 10 seconds at most trying to figure out the pattern and if I couldn’t I’d move on, cause the difficulty is random, so by doing this you can get through the easy patterns, and then you have time to do harder ones without worrying, like I remember cause I used this Strat, I went through all the easy questions, there were about 20 and I did it in 4 minutes, which left 30 for the last 8 minutes, also helps sometimes to just reread the question
Hey nouman, what's ur 5th uni and even if ur not sure, what other course would u apply for ur 5th uni? Also, what's ur ranked uni choices, what are ur top 4 choices of uni decisions
Have you done 9 entire mocks in total before the real UCAT? I did my first mock 3 days ago on med entry and got 2750- band 1,and I did a second one on medify today and got 2270 , like how, and band 3, I never got less than band 2, tbh I am devasted , and my ucat Is in 8 days
this happened to me as well, don't stress. My best scores in mocks usually were near the start. In fact, at the start i got 2750 also, but near the end i was achieving like 2350 and things and getting band 3 and 4 non stop. It's normal, I found that doing mini mocks helped more with making sure each individual section was as strong as possible. In terms of mocks, just continue doing them for the sake of practise and getting used to the questions, but don't take the scores you get too seriously because they vary A LOT. Like one time I'd get really good in one section and then I'd flunk it the next time round. Trust me, you'll do amazing, don't stress!!
@@NoumanSamiaww thank youu, you being really positive but seriously I wasnt doing bad before, I was doing pretty good and now when I am one week away from the exam it is all terrible, like After that bad score I tried to get more done, but after that I Just kept doing bad and bad and now at 22:05 I officially gave up cuz I cant even get one question right at this point, not even easy QR
honestly dont stress, i was getting the same as you as well, but I found the real thing for QR much easier and a lot of the questions were much shorter than the medify mocks.
Big well done nouman what type of questions predominatly came up on the Qr section was there lots of graphs and table or was it sdt questions or percentages etc or the mixture of it all
Hmm it was mostly graphs and tables, and the range of questions that came up were similar to what you’d find on like medify, but it was all really easy, most of the questions were just one step questions that took less than 20s
Assalamo Alykum Nouman Alhamdulilah when i look back at year 11, i have to say that it was a really good year. I did countless examination papers every day and got my teachers to mark them and because of my consistent sheer hard work throughout year 11, i won the "John Archer award for endeavour" at the year 11 celebration evening and maths award for doing countless examination papers. I got the John Archer award for endeavour because i was committed to my studies and worked really hard. Does that inshallah mean that i am likely to get those higher grades? like 7s, 8s, and 9s. I pray everyday that it inshallah happens
Hi can you recommend a time plan as in when I should start my Ucat studying and when is the best time to book the date what is the best portal to use I used medify the last time what do you recommend I struggled with the maths in the test can you recommend anything I should Thanks in advance
Akhi salam, Iam kind of confused on what A levels to pick and whether Engineer or Medicine has more demand in the working industry?. Iam thinking of picking A level Maths,Physics,Econ,Chem. However in the back of my mind I feel like also going through the medicine pathway. Any Suggestions?.
Assalamualeikum, I have read many of your replies to comments saying that QR was way too easy, much better than medify, which is very to good but dont u think you were just lucky? And we might be unlucky. I am so scared for QR, I feel like medify mock, all the questions are so long and I just wanna skip the entire mock due to the lenght of all questions, what should I do? Do u know if med entry questions are more similiar to the real ucat qr?
we all get roughly the same questions, it's from the same question bank so there will be a bit of variation, but most questions will be the same. With medify, most of the questions are 2 step, sometimes 3 step questions, but with the real thing, the majority of questions are just 1 step questions, with the occasional few requiring a second step, so overall it's just much quicker. The only 'difficult' part is getting used to the data and understanding what is going on, but the maths is very basic.
Hi what unis are you considering I had a very similar ucat to you + same band and extremely similar gcses Would really appreciate some advice as I'm unsure on which ones I should strategically apply to
Nearly all 7s, 8s and 9s. One mark off a 7 in maths should i get it remarked? And 1 off in RE for an 8 which shocked me because I've always gotten 9s in that even my mock that got sent to edexcel came back with a 9 when I thought I really messed up so should I remark these the school will probably do them for free? Also congrats on your UCAT score so proud of you!!
Nice!! Honestly if you don't NEED to remark then there's really no point, but if you want go ahead. Your grades overall are still really good and you literally dont have anything to worry about for the future with those grades so be proud!!
@@NoumanSami Hi Nouman the only reasons I would was 1 because it was a personal goal of mine for so long and I'm so close and the chance of my grade going down is extremely low as a 6 is 112 and I got 144 but 2 because i might do a degree in economics and politics or economics and sociology which require a minimum 7 in gcse maths to apply. Overall I'll still be really happy regardless of what happens. I am pursuing completely new subjects economics , psychology and politics so that should be interesting. Keep pursuing your dreams in medicine wish you all the best for the future.
yeah most of them were wayyy more difficult than the real thing. On medify, nearly every question requires like 2-3 steps to do, but for the real thing, about like 70% of the questions were all basic 1 step questions where the only thing that would take time is understanding what the graph meant. As long as you're able to do all the different things such as averages, percentage change, speed distance time etc. you'll be more than fine (QR was one of my weaker sections but ended up being my best in the real thing idk how)
omg thank you so much i was literally just crying over my crap scores in qr as i do alevel maths so thought what is wrong with me thanks again feeling much more better@@NoumanSami
Hey Nouman u know how u make notes on ur ipad during lessons and then u make flashcards using remnote, do u also make typed up notes on remnote as well? I just couldn’t choose between anki and remnote as to what flashcard app I should use for y12, which im still figuring out Also how many hours would u roughly recommended to study after school and whether ud study all 3 subjects, or do u base what ur studying according to ur college timetable, I just wanna be organised and revise effectively as im not sure as to whether i should study all 3 subjects in a day? Also id rlly wanna see a study with me video ps - Congratulations Nouman with ucat and results!! 🎉I wish u all the best for ur future, srry for so many questions 😅
Hi, let me answer each question one by one.. I don't make typed notes on Remnote. I only use it to make flash cards, all my notes are drawn on my Ipad which then becomes the basis of my flash cards. There isn't a set number of hours of work I'd do after school each day. In fact, some days I'd come home and have absolutely nothing to do (rare though). Usually, I'd spend about an hour reviewing an hour's worth of lesson time. So if I had 4 hours worth of lessons in a day, I'd spend about 4 hours at home reviewing those lessons. Sometimes I wouldn't do it all in the same day and spread out the hours across the week but it really depended to be honest. And overall, I usually did all 3 subjects every day, the most being biology because of all the new content we were learning, the least being Maths because it wasn't something I really needed to constantly go over. Hopefully that helps!!
Ahh best of luck!! From experience, the stuff that you do leading up to the exam won't really change your score. I'd say not to overwork yourself, and focus mainly of having a strategy for managing your time, because apart from that, you can't do much else. The day before my exam, i spent mainly all of my time on AR, trying to familiarise myself with as many rules as I could, but I didn't do much else. On the day of the exam, I didn't even touch the questions just so I wouldn't get stressed and start to panic.
@@NoumanSami yeah short cuts, things like the memory functions, were they actual useful to use? Cause I can’t seem to figure in what way they would be useful
i didnt use the memory function once, i honestly never understood how to use it. But in terms of alt+n and alt+p, I used it constantly, it helps save crucial seconds, because it takes some time moving the mouse each time to click next and then clicking an option and so on. Ik it doesn't seem like a big deal, but it does really help in making sure you have as much time as possible (especially when you're trying to guess the last couple questions if you have like 5s left).
VR felt a bit more difficult, DM was very different in terms of how they worded a lot of questions, QR and AR felt easier in the real thing compared to medify.
The all wrong clip was so real😭 Im so scared mines in 3 days. Ive literally done the absolute most and my scores cannot escape the 2600-2750 range fml😭
Honestly don’t stress and don’t overwork yourself. Whatever you do in these last days won’t really help towards your grade anymore, so all you can do is build up some confidence and make sure your time management is on point. In terms of scores, take them all lightly because what you get in mocks doesn’t reflect what you’ll get in the real thing (in a good way)
@@NoumanSami thanks so much I'm trying my best haha. One more thing, the official UCAT mocks are so laggy - does the real thing lag that much or is it like medify?
@@junebug2299 nah the real thing is super seamless, the shortcuts work perfectly as well. Only thing is, you can’t spam skip questions, like each time you move on to the next Q, the page refreshes a bit and then moves on
i dont think its really based on hours, it hugely depends on the person. Just make sure not to overwork yourself and try and stick to doing max 4 hours each day
@@NoumanSami Lol I have 2 weeks left so I kinda need to do a lot more I’ve only really practised the first two parts too… only realised I could apply for dentistry after I got my grades so that’s when I decided to do UCAT so it’s quite last minute unfortunately .
Applying to unis with lower ucat cutoff scores, or applying to unis that don’t take ucat into as much consideration and focus more on grades and PS and stuff (you can find out how each university weighs all the different things on their course websites). Or even the fact that I had BMAT and so I could just apply to more BMAT universities if I didn’t do well in the UCAT. Or even, just taking a gap year and doing the exam again next year.
I can’t really put it into hours but my revision began in July and I’d do about 1-2 hours each day at the start, which then became like 4-5 hours each day near the end with the last week or so before my exam
you dont need to worry, the days before my exam, i was getting worse and worse scores and i decided to take it slow on the last couple days and accept that by now, whatever I did wouldn't change much anyways, so just having the confidence that you'll do well will really help
I was in a similar position man, don't worry. QR I found to be one of the easiest ones in the real thing, the questions were far simpler than the medify mocks
YES NOUMAN IM SO PROUD OF UUUUUUUUU. THATS WHY HES THE GOAT... THE GOATTT!!!
the true goat is pinned

Hey congrats on your score, I’m just about to start year 12, when would you recommend starting your revision for the UCAT?
After your end of years
allahummabarik that is so good! how many weeks of rev did u do?
Congrats Norman!! Btw how many weeks before the UCAT exam do you recommend we should revise for?
Amazing video and editing as always
Thanks so much!! I personally think that starting like 6 weeks prior is a good amount of time, doing an hour or two a day at the start and slowly increasing it near the end
Congrats
Congrats!!!
🔥🔥🔥 editing
Thanks!! Also what is your pfp
Ermmm… hexagonal green art 😅
fair enough
Just sat my one, thru out prep I kept getting 2300-2400 but somehow managed to hit a 2760 in my actual one, and I got 820 in AR, idek how but I’m so relieved it’s over
NICEEE that’s awesome, congrats, and that AR score is insane wow
@ishqiahmed
I am getting 2300-2400 as well how did you improve your score , it will be very helpful if you can give some tips as I am so stressed out right now
@@user-fizz-r6y I’m going to be honest I’m actually not sure, I remember checking my spreadsheet and all of my mocks were between 2300-2400, there was only one test I got 2600 but that was it, and then came the actual UCAT and I got a 2760, I think it’s just on the day hopefully you will be more focused, that’s what worked for me but everyone is different
@@user-fizz-r6y so just make sure to stay calm and collected, and use tips such as skipping and not spending too much time on questions, sections like AR, I would spend 10 seconds at most trying to figure out the pattern and if I couldn’t I’d move on, cause the difficulty is random, so by doing this you can get through the easy patterns, and then you have time to do harder ones without worrying, like I remember cause I used this Strat, I went through all the easy questions, there were about 20 and I did it in 4 minutes, which left 30 for the last 8 minutes, also helps sometimes to just reread the question
@@user-fizz-r6y if I think of anymore, I will just reply to your comment later on, when do you sit your test?
Hope u see this but may I ask what *free* digital notetaking app u recommend, I’m starting my journey for being more productive. hope it works 😅
well done!!
THANKSS
Hey nouman, what's ur 5th uni and even if ur not sure, what other course would u apply for ur 5th uni? Also, what's ur ranked uni choices, what are ur top 4 choices of uni decisions
Have you done 9 entire mocks in total before the real UCAT? I did my first mock 3 days ago on med entry and got 2750- band 1,and I did a second one on medify today and got 2270 , like how, and band 3, I never got less than band 2, tbh I am devasted , and my ucat Is in 8 days
this happened to me as well, don't stress. My best scores in mocks usually were near the start. In fact, at the start i got 2750 also, but near the end i was achieving like 2350 and things and getting band 3 and 4 non stop. It's normal, I found that doing mini mocks helped more with making sure each individual section was as strong as possible. In terms of mocks, just continue doing them for the sake of practise and getting used to the questions, but don't take the scores you get too seriously because they vary A LOT. Like one time I'd get really good in one section and then I'd flunk it the next time round. Trust me, you'll do amazing, don't stress!!
@@NoumanSamiaww thank youu, you being really positive but seriously I wasnt doing bad before, I was doing pretty good and now when I am one week away from the exam it is all terrible, like After that bad score I tried to get more done, but after that I Just kept doing bad and bad and now at 22:05 I officially gave up cuz I cant even get one question right at this point, not even easy QR
@@user-ep7fl7fh7g how did you do
yo the montage of you stressing was edited perfectly
Thank you, I was so proud of it 🥹🥹
hi Nouman, I'm getting 600-650 in QR mocks in Medify which made me very worried. How'd you compare the real QR and the medify one?
honestly dont stress, i was getting the same as you as well, but I found the real thing for QR much easier and a lot of the questions were much shorter than the medify mocks.
@@NoumanSami thank you and congrats on getting impressive results on your ucat!! Mine is 3 days later 💀
@@MinamiHayato218 good luck!!
@@MinamiHayato218how did it go?!
Big well done nouman
what type of questions predominatly came up on the Qr section was there lots of graphs and table or was it sdt questions or percentages etc or the mixture of it all
Hmm it was mostly graphs and tables, and the range of questions that came up were similar to what you’d find on like medify, but it was all really easy, most of the questions were just one step questions that took less than 20s
Assalamo Alykum Nouman
Alhamdulilah when i look back at year 11, i have to say that it was a really good year. I did countless examination papers every day and got my teachers to mark them and because of my consistent sheer hard work throughout year 11, i won the "John Archer award for endeavour" at the year 11 celebration evening and maths award for doing countless examination papers. I got the John Archer award for endeavour because i was committed to my studies and worked really hard. Does that inshallah mean that i am likely to get those higher grades? like 7s, 8s, and 9s. I pray everyday that it inshallah happens
@NormanSami what is the website link you used to practice for exam can I have website link.The same website shown on video please.
Hi can you recommend a time plan as in when I should start my Ucat studying and when is the best time to book the date what is the best portal to use I used medify the last time what do you recommend I struggled with the maths in the test can you recommend anything I should
Thanks in advance
Can you prepare on a laptop, and still use all the keyboard shortcuts?
Akhi salam, Iam kind of confused on what A levels to pick and whether Engineer or Medicine has more demand in the working industry?. Iam thinking of picking A level Maths,Physics,Econ,Chem. However in the back of my mind I feel like also going through the medicine pathway. Any Suggestions?.
Please make a video on the UCAT!
What in particular do you wanna see
Hi i love your videos because they're very informative and helpful. Im just wondering what exam board did you do for chemistry and biology?
Hi thanks so much! I did AQA for both
@@NoumanSamiThank you!
Assalamualeikum, I have read many of your replies to comments saying that QR was way too easy, much better than medify, which is very to good but dont u think you were just lucky? And we might be unlucky. I am so scared for QR, I feel like medify mock, all the questions are so long and I just wanna skip the entire mock due to the lenght of all questions, what should I do? Do u know if med entry questions are more similiar to the real ucat qr?
we all get roughly the same questions, it's from the same question bank so there will be a bit of variation, but most questions will be the same. With medify, most of the questions are 2 step, sometimes 3 step questions, but with the real thing, the majority of questions are just 1 step questions, with the occasional few requiring a second step, so overall it's just much quicker. The only 'difficult' part is getting used to the data and understanding what is going on, but the maths is very basic.
Brother I have a question.
Is it possible to give the ucat from BANGLADESH?
I am in A2, so it will be very helpful if you helped me?
Hi what unis are you considering I had a very similar ucat to you + same band and extremely similar gcses
Would really appreciate some advice as I'm unsure on which ones I should strategically apply to
Nearly all 7s, 8s and 9s. One mark off a 7 in maths should i get it remarked? And 1 off in RE for an 8 which shocked me because I've always gotten 9s in that even my mock that got sent to edexcel came back with a 9 when I thought I really messed up so should I remark these the school will probably do them for free?
Also congrats on your UCAT score so proud of you!!
Nice!! Honestly if you don't NEED to remark then there's really no point, but if you want go ahead. Your grades overall are still really good and you literally dont have anything to worry about for the future with those grades so be proud!!
@@NoumanSami Hi Nouman the only reasons I would was 1 because it was a personal goal of mine for so long and I'm so close and the chance of my grade going down is extremely low as a 6 is 112 and I got 144 but 2 because i might do a degree in economics and politics or economics and sociology which require a minimum 7 in gcse maths to apply.
Overall I'll still be really happy regardless of what happens. I am pursuing completely new subjects economics , psychology and politics so that should be interesting.
Keep pursuing your dreams in medicine wish you all the best for the future.
Can you make video on the UCAT SECTIONS
When did you start preparing and what resources did you use - did you pay for any resources?
I started like mid-june and I only really used medify which i did pay for but it was very worth it
Congratsss mines soon and I wanted to ask uno some of the mini mocks for QR were they harder than the exams 😭Qr
yeah most of them were wayyy more difficult than the real thing. On medify, nearly every question requires like 2-3 steps to do, but for the real thing, about like 70% of the questions were all basic 1 step questions where the only thing that would take time is understanding what the graph meant. As long as you're able to do all the different things such as averages, percentage change, speed distance time etc. you'll be more than fine (QR was one of my weaker sections but ended up being my best in the real thing idk how)
omg thank you so much i was literally just crying over my crap scores in qr as i do alevel maths so thought what is wrong with me thanks again feeling much more better@@NoumanSami
Hey Nouman u know how u make notes on ur ipad during lessons and then u make flashcards using remnote, do u also make typed up notes on remnote as well? I just couldn’t choose between anki and remnote as to what flashcard app I should use for y12, which im still figuring out
Also how many hours would u roughly recommended to study after school and whether ud study all 3 subjects, or do u base what ur studying according to ur college timetable, I just wanna be organised and revise effectively as im not sure as to whether i should study all 3 subjects in a day? Also id rlly wanna see a study with me video
ps - Congratulations Nouman with ucat and results!! 🎉I wish u all the best for ur future, srry for so many questions 😅
Hi, let me answer each question one by one..
I don't make typed notes on Remnote. I only use it to make flash cards, all my notes are drawn on my Ipad which then becomes the basis of my flash cards.
There isn't a set number of hours of work I'd do after school each day. In fact, some days I'd come home and have absolutely nothing to do (rare though). Usually, I'd spend about an hour reviewing an hour's worth of lesson time. So if I had 4 hours worth of lessons in a day, I'd spend about 4 hours at home reviewing those lessons. Sometimes I wouldn't do it all in the same day and spread out the hours across the week but it really depended to be honest. And overall, I usually did all 3 subjects every day, the most being biology because of all the new content we were learning, the least being Maths because it wasn't something I really needed to constantly go over.
Hopefully that helps!!
@@NoumanSami thank u sooo much nouman, yep uve definitely cleared the doubts i had regarding revision!!
Congrats on your score man! I got mine tomorrow 😭 What should I do today?
Ahh best of luck!! From experience, the stuff that you do leading up to the exam won't really change your score. I'd say not to overwork yourself, and focus mainly of having a strategy for managing your time, because apart from that, you can't do much else. The day before my exam, i spent mainly all of my time on AR, trying to familiarise myself with as many rules as I could, but I didn't do much else. On the day of the exam, I didn't even touch the questions just so I wouldn't get stressed and start to panic.
Thanks man!
How did you do
for QR, did you use any of the keyboard tricks?
what like shortcuts? i used shortcuts everywhere, so so useful
@@NoumanSami yeah short cuts, things like the memory functions, were they actual useful to use? Cause I can’t seem to figure in what way they would be useful
i didnt use the memory function once, i honestly never understood how to use it. But in terms of alt+n and alt+p, I used it constantly, it helps save crucial seconds, because it takes some time moving the mouse each time to click next and then clicking an option and so on. Ik it doesn't seem like a big deal, but it does really help in making sure you have as much time as possible (especially when you're trying to guess the last couple questions if you have like 5s left).
yo I have mine today and have done minimal revision...
wish me luck
Edit: I got 2600 and got band 2
Best of luck!!
how did you do
Can I have the website link you used to practice the same website shown on video please
Its called Medify, its paid but its so so worth it
Did the AR section include patterns which were fairly easy to spot? Unlike the ones in medify mocks?
Yeah most of them were pretty easy
@@NoumanSami that's good coz I normally end up missing some questions coz of time coz other QS take too much time
Congratulations Nouman! Are u going to be sitting the bmat exam as well!
Of course
@@NoumanSami Please upload a video on that as well, as i am going to be sitting both exams next year.
@@Yeah903 next year? I swear BMAT is getting discontinued after my cohort
@@NoumanSami nope im pretty sure we are the last cohort to do it, and then after us its getting discontinued
nah my year's the last, 2023 is the last year a BMAT exam is taking place.
Make a video on tips
How did the subsection compare to medify?
And would you recommend doing the official UCAT question banks
VR felt a bit more difficult, DM was very different in terms of how they worded a lot of questions, QR and AR felt easier in the real thing compared to medify.
oh and SJT felt easier than medify as well
tbh i didnt do much of the question banks, i mainly just did the official ucat mocks
When would you recommend starting revision?
I’d say around 2 months before your exam
How many mocks did u do in total?
I think i did 9 medify mocks (full ones) and like nearly all the mini mocks, as well as practise mocks A, B and C on the official ucat website
what app you used for UCAT revison?
Medify
The all wrong clip was so real😭 Im so scared mines in 3 days. Ive literally done the absolute most and my scores cannot escape the 2600-2750 range fml😭
Honestly don’t stress and don’t overwork yourself. Whatever you do in these last days won’t really help towards your grade anymore, so all you can do is build up some confidence and make sure your time management is on point. In terms of scores, take them all lightly because what you get in mocks doesn’t reflect what you’ll get in the real thing (in a good way)
@@NoumanSami thanks so much I'm trying my best haha. One more thing, the official UCAT mocks are so laggy - does the real thing lag that much or is it like medify?
@@junebug2299 nah the real thing is super seamless, the shortcuts work perfectly as well. Only thing is, you can’t spam skip questions, like each time you move on to the next Q, the page refreshes a bit and then moves on
How did it go?!
Are you going to do BMAT as well?
Yeah
If i get good mark in ucat test then university give me scholarship?
Most likely no, but the UCAT will help in getting an interview
what are you trying to get into? dentistry or medicine?
medicine
wow,@@NoumanSami thanks for the fast reply, inshallah you get into the course of your choice at the uni of your choice, keep hustling :)
@@vapourOnGodspeed Thanks!! And yes inshallah, hope it all goes well.
Allahumma barik
Jazakallah khair
Congratulations
THANKS!!
How many hours roughly would you say you would need to do well?
i dont think its really based on hours, it hugely depends on the person. Just make sure not to overwork yourself and try and stick to doing max 4 hours each day
@@NoumanSami Lol I have 2 weeks left so I kinda need to do a lot more
I’ve only really practised the first two parts too… only realised I could apply for dentistry after I got my grades so that’s when I decided to do UCAT so it’s quite last minute unfortunately .
I’m taking a gap year btw I’ve just finished Alevels
ah i see, yeah it makes sense to do a bit more in your case, best of luck though!
6:50 - what are the things? Quite nervous about it all lol
Applying to unis with lower ucat cutoff scores, or applying to unis that don’t take ucat into as much consideration and focus more on grades and PS and stuff (you can find out how each university weighs all the different things on their course websites). Or even the fact that I had BMAT and so I could just apply to more BMAT universities if I didn’t do well in the UCAT. Or even, just taking a gap year and doing the exam again next year.
How many hours did you spend in total?
I can’t really put it into hours but my revision began in July and I’d do about 1-2 hours each day at the start, which then became like 4-5 hours each day near the end with the last week or so before my exam
Thank you for letting me know@@NoumanSami
I am literally terrified i have my exam in 2 days and my medify mocks are so bad
you dont need to worry, the days before my exam, i was getting worse and worse scores and i decided to take it slow on the last couple days and accept that by now, whatever I did wouldn't change much anyways, so just having the confidence that you'll do well will really help
@@NoumanSami thank you so much! Also congrats you got such an amazing score🫶🏽🫶🏽
I have mine in 3 days and don't feel prepared at all 😭 especially on QR.
I was in a similar position man, don't worry. QR I found to be one of the easiest ones in the real thing, the questions were far simpler than the medify mocks
@@NoumanSami 2580 B2 😬
thats good!! You've got lots of options
Band 1 mash'allah!
Thanks so much Eesa 🥹🥹
Fr, I hate biography and history of people, they're the worst vr passages
I have mine in 10 days 😭
good luck!!
TODAY!!

Congratulations Nouman! Your hard work will always pay off! 🤍
Thanks!!
