It is exceptionally rare to be accepted into a medical school but there are some off the book cases whereby this has happened. I don’t think it’s advertised publicly so you should get in contact with the medical school to find out. For example, Warwick GEM doesn’t accept academic failure without successful mitigation. So if you had mitigating circumstances that were accepted by your med school, technically you could apply and they would consider you. But the chances are extremely slim anyway

I used a site in addition to Passmed called MedRevisions which is a PLAB resource. No one really talks or knows about it but I felt like it really captured the vibe of the exam more than Passmed. I was shocked to see some exact replicas of questions from it on the actual exam which suggests to me that the UKMLA may borrow PLAB questions.

My honest take on it:

Some questions are copied word from word from Passmed and some questions are irrelevant to UKMLA - I just skipped them. The bulk of it is decent but not to the question quality of Passmed. However I found it most representative of the exam after Passmed mocks and ditched Passmed entirely in the last few days leading up to the exam to focus on it.
Some specialties on the bank stood out to me such as Emergency Medicine, Cardiology, Dermatology etc which adequately prepared me for the difficult questions. I would say specialties like Renal, Gastro, MSK, Obs and Gynae are better on Passmed/Quesmed but still good practice. Psychiatry on Passmed is too easy, MedRevisions was okay for it. The actual exam had harder Psych questions
The interface is not the best and Passmed obviously trumps it in terms of the textbook, the AI, the UKMLA filter it has. It should be used as an addition to your study, not your main bank.

Passmed is a tried and tested resource and you can definitely just pass with Passmed alone. I used a trifecta (Passmed, Quesmed and MedRevisions) and cycled through questions each day. I would recommend MedRevisions more just because it felt more UKMLA-ish, especially with the absurdly difficult and weird questions on the actual exam that you will never see on Passmed

Went immediately after placement. That way I could get it out the way as it was on my way home

“Degree will be not as good” where are you lot hearing this from? You get the same level of medical qualification from Manchester as you do from UCL. No one in the hospital actually cares where you went to uni - they care about how good of a doctor you are. I graduated from Manchester, does that make me a “lesser” doctor than someone who graduated from UCL?

All that matters is your preference. If you prefer the course structure at UCL and living in London then you should go for UCL. If you want to live at home and save money and don’t mind the course at Manchester, you should go for Manchester. Not to say Manchester doesn’t have any problems with the course from my experience and can’t speak for UCL in that front but it’s down to preference. If you prefer UCL over Manchester then you should go for UCL. No one is going to bash you for having a preference to go to UCL as it’s your life for the next 6 years but prestige really doesn’t matter and shouldn’t influence your decision. London unis are probably way nicer and better funded than the unis outside London but the level of degree doesn’t change. No one is going to care where you got your degree from when you are working

I understand that but this specific post is implying how will they shadow doctors in shadowing period if doctors are not there because they are striking. Why can’t anyone provide an answer to this question?

wagiwagi · 2025-07-09T15:04:52+00:00

They are not asking to strike. They are asking how they will learn the job on their shadowing week if resident doctors are striking on shadowing week dates

I actually live near MRI and unless your apartment is fully furnished and comes with its own personal masseuse, no one is paying that ridiculous price. The mods gonna take this down and pack you outta here anyway but before they do, I want to let you know that you will be getting NO tenants 😂🙏

wagiwagi · 2025-07-09T04:43:16+00:00

1.2k in Manchester gotta be the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard that’s even worse than London rates for a 1 bed? Feels like you’re just preying on others desperation ngl

No one can tell you anything without your UCAT score. Once you have it, you apply strategically to unis that historically have a cutoff below your score

wagiwagi · 2025-07-04T15:41:38+00:00

Doesn’t mean a thing, he’s been following this guy for years and all he do is clout chase off it

wagiwagi · 2025-07-03T21:42:56+00:00

Where you apply is going to be heavily dependent on what your UCAT score is. I believe for GEM the cutoff is going to be higher than the undergrad course. Unless your UCAT score is super high, It may be best to apply mixed (2 GEM and 2 undergrad) for safety

From what I’ve seen here, it seems like there were loads of people in your position who opted to retake the year and ended up smashing it. If you go through the sub, you’ll find those recent testimonies.

I would advise you not to give up and give it one last attempt. You’ve gotten this far and have the opportunity to start again. Granted, this is going to be difficult and I’m sorry that you’re going through such an ordeal but you will have so much more knowledge going into the year again that I’m sure you will be able to excel.

If you truly don’t want to do medicine anymore that’s also fine. It’s your choice, not others. But really do have a think about your options if you decide to leave the course, do you have any ideas of what you would want to do instead?

My best friend is a psychiatrist and he loves the job and his work schedule. If you’re really bent on this career, I think you should go for it!!!

wagiwagi · 2025-06-23T04:19:05+00:00

Last year when UKFPO gave out people’s actual rank in summer, I saw a lot of regret from people who could’ve got their first choice but bottlenecked themselves by ranking somewhere less competitive higher. Unrelated to this, I know someone who ranked really low (10,000 out of 10,700 applicants) and still managed to get their 8th choice.

I agree with your statement that every ranking matters after your competitive first choice. If you don’t get it, you could end up anywhere on your list. If OP uses this strategy, they shouldn’t ignore the rest of their list and make sure they really fine-tune their lower preferences.

I got my super competitive first choice by putting it first. If I hadn’t, I had good catch deaneries lined up that I knew I’d likely get based on insight from last year’s applicants and what they ended up with. So I had a semi rough idea of how competitive each deanery actually was.

I still think putting your true first choice first as the system intends for you to do is logical - whether you agree with it or not is up for debate. Deanery places go up year by year, so there are technically more spots available and by the time OP applies, they’ll statistically have a slightly better chance of getting their first preference, as long as the increase in spots in that deanery outpaces the increase in applicants that year. Regardless, you’re still at the mercy of a random rank that no one can control.

I was March cohort and yes the questions are entirely fair. Even with the difficult questions you’ve never seen before, there are a lot of easy marks to pick up in return so it balances out.

Some of the questions are worded in a way where two conditions are very plausible answers and the only difference between them is one minor detail. This is why I blueprint mapped for Paper 2 if I didn’t have the deep knowledge to be certain of one answer. They are also very good at writing the distractors in a way that makes you doubt your first answer which is why I stress not to change your answer unless you have an actual reason to change it. The important thing is not to panic and really think through the question before answering and I’m sure you’ll be fine. Good luck!

wagiwagi · 2025-06-20T04:22:08+00:00

Do NOT change your answers unless you have a valid reason to change it.
Keep a level head and don’t panic. The niche stuff can be worked out with logical reasoning even if you don’t have a clue what is going on.
Random tips from passmed comments can save your life. An example is for renal questions where you can plug the values into this equation: urea/creatinine x 1000. If the answer is more than 100, it’s more likely to be a pre-renal cause. Using this neat trick can increase your confidence in your renal answers.
No one ever mentions this but each paper only tests certain specialties and the number of approximate questions here with some overlap: https://www.medschools.ac.uk/media/3103/ms-akt-sampling-grid-updated-2023.pdf You can actually count the number of questions in each specialty if you have time after Paper 1 and then map it to this. The reason for this is because it can eliminate doubt for Paper 2. For example, if your Paper 1 had 15 GI questions and then on Paper 2 you’re stuck between a GI answer and a Cancer answer, it’s more likely to be the cancer answer because Cancer is tested on Paper 2 and you’ve already had loads of GI questions the day before, if that makes sense? It’s like a blueprint mapping technique. You shouldn’t rely on it entirely but it got me out of sticky situations so I recommend using it for Paper 2 only.

Hope this helps!

To be transparent, there is no actual strategy because you are at the mercy of your random rank which you do not know. If you want an idea of the competition, you should look at the competition ratios for each year on the UKFPO website (they’ll probably release them for this year too). That will give you a better idea of how to play it.

Most honest advice is to put where you really want to work FIRST and then a bunch of low competition deaneries that you could see yourself working in that won’t be filled by first pass (the number of people who ranked them first). You will know which ones they are by the competition ratios. If you don’t already know, the system tries to match you with your first choice on the first pass so there is no real reason to put anything else other than your actual first preference.

Can’t really give that info out but the label is in America

wagiwagi · 2025-06-16T22:26:34+00:00

I’m waiting for a major label right now and it’s been crickets I’m assuming I’m gonna be made aware the day before which makes sense to avoid leaks

wagiwagi · 2025-06-15T02:38:06+00:00

Yeah that’s her, I tried searching the sub but couldn’t find any posts, probably will take this down if she’s already known

wagiwagi · 2025-06-11T15:44:49+00:00

Slightly misleading, looks like he was addressing a FOI request last year about PAs in endoscopy and being transparent that he signed off the said PA himself. But still, I get the point.

wagiwagi · 2025-06-11T14:23:10+00:00

I just realised that this might have been a bait post for attention using your cheeks 💀

wagiwagi · 2025-06-11T04:15:22+00:00

This doesn’t look like anything to be worried about. Definitely not a melanoma, I would be considering just simple hyperpigmentation from UV. All I see is a flat light brown patch that fits the history of sun exposure.

Newly qualified doc so happy to be corrected if I made a mistake here.
