Format:Paperback
I was disappointed by this book. It has a fair number of pages but the questions are spread very thin and so overall it doesn't offer that much practice.
Much of the material is also different to what the exam offers. For example in Verbal reasoning, the texts are way shorter than at the UKCAT and some of the questions are far too easy. At the exam, you often have to cross-reference information from different paragraphs. In this book, the answer can often be obtained straight from the text, meaning the questions aren't very stretching.

I also found that the authors were very keen to plug their own services. For example, the book covers interview preparation in just 10/15 lines. You wonder why they bothered to mention anything on interviews other than to shamelessly plug their services. This cheapens the book considerably.

Overall it is an adequate preparation book for an introduction, but that is as far as you can take it.

By A K-S
Format:Paperback
As a parent of a son who is hoping to get into med school, not only did he find this book extremely helpful, I have also been able to understand a process and time scales for supporting him. This book is clear and easy to follow. My son has found the reasoning tests and questions both helpful and enlightening. I now have a better understanding of the expectations that are required for med school. I note it has been written by 2 Drs, which makes complete sense unlike some of the other books I viewed which are written by non medical professionals.

Essential preparation 14 May 2012
By SW
Format:Paperback
My daughter is hoping to get into medical school and we bought this to help her prepare. We have not been disappointed. The book is very well set out and user friendly even for people who are unfamiliar with the UKCAT. It has been extremely helpful and after reading the book, my daughter now feels prepared and confident in completing the test. As the authors are both doctors who regularly run courses helping people get into med school you can expect top notch advice. Essential reading and highly recommended.
