i was a ucat retaker, first time round i got 2590b3 (old ucat system and if i exclude AR then i got 2040)

retook the ucat this year after 2 months of revision and 4-10 hours everyday only to get 2100 b3, i did get the steve variant and performed terrible in DM, but my actual base scores are quite similar to last year i took it even though i did significantly less revision

im considering grad entry dentistry because i dont think i can do another gap year, but im honestly quite concerned i wont go up much from here and it’ll be a waste though

Ive been consistently stuck below 26/44 on VR for a month and a bit. I feel like I literally can’t absorb the passage. What is the best way to boost my VR score to mid 30s?

Thanks for all the help when I send these messages, I appreciate it a lot.
