When I sat the UCAT, it genuinely felt like the test was designed for me to fail. But I went from being stuck in low scores for weeks to getting a top decile score. The UCAT is not about doing more questions - it's about technique and skill.

So I’ve put everything I wish I knew into the UCAT Crash Course, which gives you all the essential tips and techniques you need to go on and smash the exam.

This Saturday, in a live 3-hour session, we cover the exact techniques for each subsection, go over how to revise for the UCAT, have an entire UCAT timeline provided and have discounted access to top resources. This will leave you feeling far more confident, prepared and ready to aim for that top score!

And if that wasn’t already jam-packed with top-decile scorer secrets, I’m giving all of this away for a price less than spending 1 hour with most UCAT tutors.

Join this Saturday and there's limited spaces so book now!

If you're feeling really confused on how to get started on UCAT preparation, that's completely understandable. The UCAT is one of the hardest exams to sit as it is completely different to anything you have studied before.

So to help you, I've created a 6 week and 8 week version of sample UCAT timetables. Depending on how much time you have give yourself to revise for the UCAT, you can use this as a guide to make sure you are doing the right thing.

🗓️ Week 1: Learn the Techniques and Putting it Into Practice

• Spend the first half of the week watching tutorials and strategy videos for each sections
• Focus on learning how to answer the questions
• Spend the second half of the week doing some untimed practice questions on all the sections - make sure you are applying the techniques you have learnt
• Day 7 - Full timed mock exam under exam conditions

🧠 Weeks 2 and 3: Untimed Practice = Strong Foundations

• Continue to apply the techniques in untimed conditions.
• Focus on getting most questions right. You want to feel confident before introducing time pressure.
• Do one mock exam per week to track your progress

⏱️ Weeks 4 and 5: Timed Practice + Smart Review

• Once you are getting the majority of questions correct in untimed practice, begin timed practice sessions.
• After each session, review your mistakes carefully through reflection
• Revisit the relevant tutorials to strengthen weak spots
• Every week increase the number of questions you do per day
• Complete a mock exam every week and reflect in detail
• From the second half of week 5 begin to do one mock exam per day

🧪 Weeks 6: Mock Exams + Targeted Refinement

• Aim to do a full mock exam every day before your exam
• After completing each mock, review the mistakes in depth through effective reflection
• From this, make an Anki or flashcard deck or a document which has all of your incorrect questions on it and review this document regularly
• Do timed questions on your specific weaker areas to improve on these

Which question bank is better? Are you more likely to get a top-decile score if you use one over the other? This has always been a big debate among UCAT applicants.

As someone who achieved a top-decile UCAT score and used both question banks, here’s my honest comparison.

I started my preparation with Medify and completed most of my practice questions there. Although it’s a strong platform, I found the questions noticeably harder than the official UCAT and UCAT mocks, which often left me scoring lower than expected.

Towards the end of my revision, I switched to Medentry. While I used it for a shorter period, I found the question style and difficulty much closer to my actual UCAT exam.

Ultimately, both are excellent question banks, and choosing one over the other won’t determine whether you achieve a top-decile score. My advice is to use the free trial for both, try the skills trainers and practice questions, and see which feels most representative of the official UCAT mocks.

From my experience, Medentry was the closer match to the real exam. If you decide to use it, you can use the discount code MEDWLOVE for 10% off.
