Hi Emil, your videos are always really helpful! I have kept up my UCAT practice pretty consistently over the year, I am still having trouble with test anxiety. For the first 2 subtests I can generally score well, but I get caught up with timing in QR. I have gone back to the modules, done plenty of practice questions and spent lots of time trying to develop my 'internal clock' but I still struggle sometimes. I know the general rule is 2 minutes per question set, but when I exceed this limit I tend to immediately go on a downward spiral - I panic about not completing the question on time, which makes me go slower! However if I don't set myself that time limit, I space out and spend way too much time on the question. Even the standalone questions send me into a panic because I'm never sure how much time to allocate to them. I do think it's a problem with anxiety because I have scored highly in QR in past mocks, but recently in the lead-up to my exam, I have witnessed my scores dropping :( Do you have any advice for how to progress from here, and stop obsessing over timing while still maintaining speed?

The stuff you do before the test matters a lot, e.g getting enough sleep, taking care of your body. It's also really important to make use of those 1 minute breaks you get between the subtests. It's an amazing opportunity to reset your brain and put everything else behind you

@user-ji5fg2ik8v Жыл бұрын

Hey Emil, I was watching your live VR subtest and was just wondering whether you think it is better to skim read and focus on keywords or read the passage as you go through questions? I saw you doing the latter but I see most advice to do the former because of timing reasons.

@EmilEddy Жыл бұрын

it's about finding a balance between the two, I think it's not particularly useful to skim without understanding anything because you waste time in every question if you can't find the answer in 28 seconds. read so you can understand a little bit

When doing practise do you recommend doing mini mocks or instead doing timed practise equivalent to the actual test?

@EmilEddy Жыл бұрын

Depends on what stage you're in. Sometimes timed practice can be detrimental if you have bad habits. If you think your technique is decent, mini-mocks and full mocks are great

@EmilEddy Жыл бұрын

The amount of time is completely dependent on where you're at. 2 months is definitely enough and 2 hours a WEEK is enough if you use your time effectively! That being said, focus on quality over quantity and aim for at least 4 hours per week

hey Emil, I'm just starting out with UCAT practise in Year 10 and I was wondering how I would begin studying UCAT, for example how long should I be spending on UCAT a week / each session at this stage, and should I just use whatever free resources I have such as the official ucat website question bank? thanks for the video!
