Hey everyone! Not sure if anyone is here to listen to this but I finished my UCAT today online (Well, technically yesterday as I wrote this at 12-something the day after). I won’t be sharing my score as I feel too anxious and self-conscious (and partly because quite lower than what I scored in my mocks and was slightly disappointed in myself). But my score is definitely competitive enough for the unis I wanted to apply for anyway. But I thought I would write this up to share my experience for UCAT online.
Note to future UCAT ANZ applicants: Please try your best to avoid taking the online proctored exam. It’s really annoying honestly. I was interrupted by the proctor during DM because my face was ever so slightly off the screen when I tried to use my whiteboard. This got me really flustered and worked up! Lead me to being hesitant to use the whiteboard further which carried over into QR and dropped my mark when I generally performed well on it. And the fact that something/someone is recording you and watching you makes doing the exam feel really pressuring. Doing the exam online also meant that there was a delay between pressing “Next” on questions. It was like the quality of the official mocks. Super inefficient! This was super annoying because it just lagged and made the exam feel clunky...especially when you want to go back and review your mistakes. Minor detail but QR required me some times to click on the calculator screen to input numbers...which made QR a lot slower...
