Customer Reviews

Good book but lacks practice questions
Although I found this book helpful I felt that it could have contained alot more practice questions. Half of the book talks about why you want to be a doctor and how to write your personal statement when really what I wanted was more practice questions which were in another book I bought.

Worth the £15
It did piss me off that I had to pay £65 to take a test when I already had the grades to get into medical school, but that's how it is these days. And seeing as I forked out £65 for the test, why should I fork out another £15 for a book to help me pass? BECAUSE THIS £15 WILL HELP YOU FULFILL YOUR AMBITION OF GETTING INTO MEDICAL SCHOOL! It's that simple. This book helped me get round the crazy abstract reasoning section by explaining what the exam questions were actually asking of me. If it wasn't for this book I would not have scored a 700 average and certainly would not have my place secured on the graduate entry 4 year course at Newcastle. BUY THIS BOOK! £15 Vs. a fulfilling career - you decide!

Useful
Useful for preparation- when I was taking the test it was the only book with any practise questions which were very valuble as they teach you technique in answering which seems to be more important than the answers themselves.
My only complaints are that it was overpriced and the BMAT part was not necassary for those only takig UKCAT.
