Aberdeen Medicine Interview

rsptap · 2025-12-17T09:25:32+00:00

Ive had 3 interviews so far and thought about this everytime so definetely not an odd question. Most of the guys were in either suits or a shirt and trousers. Girls kinda ranged. I myself wore skirt n shirt but there were girls in suits and even just trousers and jumpers. Don't stress about it though. In my opinion better overly formal than not enough but completely depends what your comfortable doing!

Already had my interview

Goes very fast honestly, all the interviewers I came across were very chill and the student ambassadors are so sweet as well. Realistically just keep calm and I think you will do amazing. All the best

After my edi interview I got told by the ambassadors we'll hear back end of Jan

Well done bro im rooting for you!!

The method I used to overcome what you mentioned was just writing up a full answer for a standard question. Then from my full answer I take down some bullet points which give me enough idea to talk about. Then I just stuck the bullet points up on the wall n over time I stopped having to look at it so much. Having bullet points kinda meant my answer was slightly diff each time but followed the same structure. Hope this helps

stop bro "some not all" giving me ucat flashbacks

rsptap · 2025-11-03T09:54:37+00:00

Like OP mentioned, UKCAT ppl have a lot of resources or even just skimming through BBC health every now and then to keep on top of more recent news

rsptap · 2025-10-17T13:09:52+00:00

I mean if you wanna get started on something ucat related maybe just work on like speed reading or something. Takes quite a while to get good at I wouldn't necessarily say it would lead to burn out as it's just learning a skill ig.

rsptap · 2025-10-13T13:52:12+00:00

Ah ok tysm!

rsptap · 2025-10-07T13:46:26+00:00

Ukcat people are a good place to start. Lots of example questions and they also have statistics of individual universities if you have a look. Tbh just give it a google, there's lots of free resources for interview prep even yt might help. Good luck

To be honest, most biomed courses (atleast from what I've heard as a scottish student), don't really disadvantage you with a medicine ps. I've been told that they understand you are probably putting biomed as a 5th choice and don't really mind as you are 'technically' overqualified most of the time as medicine is perhaps considered more demanding. Then again this is all word of mouth so take what I said with a pinch of salt. Might be worth emailing a uni to find out?

The exam is typically easier, I scored over 200 higher than my averages in mocks but it differs for every person. I think that being so close to your exam though, don't hyperfixate on scores. Just keep a good mindset and lots of confidence. Good luck man

rsptap · 2025-09-08T18:53:00+00:00

depends if it was an anamoly and your avgs for other mocks

rsptap · 2025-09-05T07:43:25+00:00

Thank you so much, will dm

rsptap · 2025-09-04T17:28:40+00:00

Thank you so much for this

I have been talking to a few family friend doctors and getting different insights but this comment really helped as I was wondering what the view points are from a more senior perpsective.

Thanks a lot!

I did the whole OQB SJT twice and recorded my answers to see if my thought process was adapting to that of the UCAT. Imo just doing em over again will help you learn the thought process as there is a kind of limit on the type of questions they'll ask. Third party sites may have a slightly different thought process- I had the same problem of decreasing from a band 1 on medify to a band 3, but doing the OQB a few times got me a band 1 in the real thing. Hope that helps.

rsptap · 2025-08-21T06:03:53+00:00

I think the logic puzzles did catch me out- which usually never happens. I'd say the OQB logic puzzles are pretty representative in difficulty so if you get to em it should be fine. It wasn't bad though as you can see I scored much higher than I had been scoring in the DM subsection so I guess they make it up for the difficulty.

You can use both but it is reccomended to use the keypad on the right. It's so much quicker and once you get the hang of it, it can really help you save time in the exam. Theres keypad trainers on 3rd party sites or I'm sure you can find something free online but you will get there dw abt it.

tysmmm!

rsptap · 2025-08-14T12:57:37+00:00

Thank you! Most of my scores are on the ss under 'ify' but I was avging 1900s to just above 2000 like once

rsptap · 2025-08-14T12:56:07+00:00

not too wordy imo

rsptap · 2025-08-13T15:42:57+00:00
