How to Master the UKCAT: Over 750 Practice Questions for the United Kingdom Clinical Aptitude Test

by Mike Bryon, Chris John Tyreman, Jim Clayden

Over the past few years most British universities have turned to standardized testing to assess candidates for admission.  The UK Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT) is the latest test to be developed and is used by the majority of UK medical and dentistry schools.  The UKCAT tests verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning and decision analysis rather than scientific knowledge.

How to Pass the UKCAT by testing expert Mike Bryon contains 750 up-to-date, highly relevant practice questions for the UKCAT subtests.  With timed mini-tests so readers can practice against the clock, this updated edition of Mike Bryon's valuable study guide offers resources to practice under realistic exam conditions, balance speed and accuracy, and improve your test scores.

Not a very useful book. Some parts are out-dated (eg the chapter on non-cognitive analysis which no longer forms part of the UKCAT test) and other parts were simply never true in the first place (such as the claim that a correct answer on the test prompts a harder, higher scoring question next. In reality, all questions within a section are equally scored). Other chapters were more useful and related well to the UKCAT exam, but still lacked advice on how to improve a score. I took my test today and got an average grade despite having used the book for study.
