As you might have known, UKCAT stands for United Kingdom Clinical Aptitude Test. If you want more info about the test, try their official website. http://www.ukcat.ac.uk/registration The cost is still £100 and you need to register yourself before 19 September for this year (2014). I took my UKCAT in 2012 at the University of Sheffield's office. Make sure to book early because the places are limited or you'll end up taking ukcat at Singapore or Indonesia. Your UKCAT mark is very, extremely, remarkably, terribly IMPORTANT for your application. When all other applicants have that all great results, what makes you stand out is your UKCAT mark and of course, your personal statement.
I went to the office by ktm>lrt>taxi from Nilai. Alhamdulillah we (Ardilla and me) made it. The test was as expected, increasing in difficulties and (I regretted it now) for the abstract reasoning I was too carried away trying to figure the pattern and didn't manage to answer all of the question. #note:even if you didn't know the answer, just pick one. At least you have a chance of getting the right answer rather than a 100% wrong because you leave it blank. This site has awesome tips and tricks, try and have a look at it. http://graduatemedicineapplicant.wordpress.com/ukcat/
Last but not least, you'll get your results a few minute after you've finished your test. So, brace yourself. Whatever happen just don't give up and hope for the best. :)
Dear writer,
ReplyDeleteI am writing from Medic Mind. We are a newly launched organization who are trying to make a difference by helping medical applicants up and down the UK. We are running 3 main initiatives:
1) Free talks- we are doing free talks at over 40 UK schools to the medical applicants
2) Free resources / blogs- we are working hard to write free UKCAT mocks for applicants, and have compiled 1000s of documents for A-level revision
3) Cost price courses- we are running UKCAT courses around the UK as well as in Singapore. However, we are not profit motivated but instead want to help as many students as possible, so have priced them at £25 for a full UKCAT Course Day.
We are looking to work with a medicine blog in a dual relationship. We can help you by:
1) Advertising your blog on our website. We have thousands of visitors each week, so I am sure it will help direct many medical applicants to your blog.
2) Advertising your blog at the 40+ schools we are speaking at in the coming months.
3) Giving you 10% commission on any UKCAT Course sales via your website. On the checkout for our course, we will have a tick box option for users to select how they found Medic Mind, so we can have your blog there (another form of advertising!).
In return, we would love it if you could advertise or recommend our UKCAT Course on your blog and to your followers. I believe that we have very similar incentives in the sense that we are not looking to rip students off or make money, we are trying to help as much as possible because we can both relate to the difficult journey medical applicants face.
I look forward to hearing from you soon!
Best wishes,
