Genuinely if I don't get into med it's my parents fault

Vent incoming sorry

So for context in in y12 summer and I'm sitting my ucat in just under 6 weeks. I think I have a decent amount of wex to reflect on, 1 week dental clinic, 1 week GP and 2 weeks online, but since March my parents have been ADAMANT that I get a hospital placement too. I told them I didn't think it was necessary and I would like to keep some time to rest over the summer. They didn't listen and now I'm on my placement week, 9-5:30. They know full well I don't cope well with doing UCAT prep whilst tired/past 6pm. It's at least 15 hours of prep down the drain because I can't get anything done afterwards. I'd love to get it done earlier in the morning but I have to travel a bit for my placement. I'm just so frustrated because I have a really strict timeline set up and it's all jumbled now :(

EDIT

Success!! I really didn't want to quit the placement completely because I really enjoyed it but my placement coordinator is happy to let me go home after 1 clinic!

Should I be doing ALL the mocks available - UKCAT people timeline?

Hiya! I'm sitting my UCAT for UK medicine in exactly 6 weeks time and I'm using the UKCAT people study planner to organise my revision. However, I think across the whole 6 weeks only 7-8 mocks maximum get scheduled in. I have both medify and medentry so I have roughly 35-40 mocks available and it feels like a waste if I don't use them all + the official UCAT resources?

I feel horrible

I'm sitting the UCAT this year and genuinely every single time I finish a mock exam or practice questions or review I just feel so drained its like this exam is sucking the life out of me. I know I have so much left to prepare for but I just can't do this anymore

Using a spreadsheet to track practice?

Hi there! I'm sitting my UCAT this summer and I've seen a few people online using an excel spreadsheet to track how they're doing. What are the benefits of this and how do you use one effectively?
