UCAT season is coming around again so I thought I’d do a blog post with some of my tips and resources as I remember what a daunting experience this was! I have recently discovered a UCAT resource called MedEntry (@medentryucat_uk on Instagram) that I’m going to talk about throughout this post and they have very kindly given me a discount code to share with my followers. Although there are lots of good free UCAT resources available online, UCAT preparation was something that I was willing to spend money on because I knew that so much was riding on this exam. This is definitely a resource that I would use if I was taking the UCAT again and I highly recommend it! With the discount applied, the 'online package' resource is £40 for full access until the end of exam season (the usual price would be £45).
The discount codes along with some general UCAT tips are towards the end of this post! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIBzn2OPCMo This YouTube video quickly summarises how MedEntry was founded and some of it’s useful features 😊 These are some of my favourite features of MedEntry: Skills Trainers
Video Guides
>10,000 Questions with detailed answer explanations
Revision planners and progress tracking
All of these features are available both on the MedEntry website as well as the smartphone app!

Monitor your timing One of the tricky points about the UCAT is the time pressure. If you come across a question that you think is going to take significantly longer for you to answer, I’d recommend for you to flag the question and come back to it at the end. I’d still suggest selecting a random answer before moving on though, just in case you don’t have time to come back at the end (rather than leaving it blank). 2. Be mindful whilst answering questions Try to be mindful when answering questions and just focus on the single question that you have in front of you in that moment. Even if you have found previous questions tricky or are worried about upcoming sections, try to not let this influence your performance on the question you’re currently on. Even if you thought a previous section went badly, you can definitely make up for it with other sections (and the original section might have been better than you thought!) 3. Make sure you have everything you need I’m pretty sure that you should receive an email after booking your UCAT with a list of items that you must take with you on exam day. It would be helpful to have all of this ready the night before just to save any unnecessary stress on exam day. MedEntry also has a good blog post about what it’s like to sit the UCAT and what you need to bring: https://www.medentry.co.uk/ucat/entry/what-will-it-be-like-to-sit-ucat-uk-2020-online Discount codes Click here (or copy and paste the link below into your browser) for the online package https://www.medentry.co.uk/affiliates?token=b477b5a8-6a69-4e75-9e43-2285c38493da Alternatively, you can use the code: SWJASmtjodp Click here (or copy and paste the link below into your browser) for the platinum package https://www.medentry.co.uk/affiliates?token=61d9a15b-aeb5-4e8a-b833-fe5cf55dac12 Alternatively, you can use the code: SWJASwradqb These links/codes are affiliate codes which means I do get a small percentage but before I ever accept any affiliate codes, I always make sure to thoroughly research the product and I would only promote it if it is something I would use myself.
