UCAT: are iCanMed webinar/lectures useful?

[coldairballoon]

Hi all,

Just wanted to know if anyone has had experience with iCanMed for UCAT prep. I'm looking into their section-specific 'crash course' webinar/tutorials that they've been holding. Overall the company seems a little clickbaity to me (if that makes sense) but I've heard some positive things about it too, and I just wanted to know if anyone has taken their courses/webinars before, if it's worth the price ($45 for 3 hours) and if what they teach is basic or hard.

Any info at all is helpful

Hey, I haven't paid for any of the stuff hosted by them, but I did go to a limited-time-only free lecture that they held regarding strategies for the UCAT and each subsection (this was near the start of the year). To be honest, it was okay if you had never heard of the UCAT before, but it was quite useless to me since I had already known about the test. The 'strategies' they said were basically just doing a lot of practice questions and reflect on why you get them wrong, and make sure you do a substantial number of mock exams. It's really close to the UCAT testing period right now, and imo the way you do well on aptitude tests like this one is by formulating your own strategies that you develop through practice. I haven't been to any of their paid stuff though, so I'm not sure how good it might be for those ones. Anyhow, each person has different strategies that work for them and once you find a way to approach the exam in a way that 'clicks' you're bound to do well, but if you feel iCanMed can help with that, then, by all means, go ahead.
