Some questions in this module present a scenario followed by 5 responses to which you need to produce only one correct viz Yes or No. You are allowed to use a virtual calculator to answer questions involving mathematical computing.

Quantitative Reasoning
This section measures your numerical and data interpretation skills. To perform well on this , you need to learn how to interpret problem solving questions involving numerals.In Quantitative Reasoning, you will be presented with text and/or tables, graphs or diagrams that you will need to interpret. You will then need to select the correct answer from among the available five options. The difficulty of questions varies from straightforward to more complex. You will often need to make multiple calculations to arrive at the correct answer, and avoid common wrong answer ‘traps’.


Abstract Reasoning
In Abstract Reasoning, you will have 55 questions to answer in just 13 minutes, which is an average of less than 15 seconds per question!Most Abstract Reasoning questions are presented in units of 5 questions, based on two ‘sets’ of images. Some questions will be individual or ‘standalone’. You will be presented with several images, and you will need to identify (and sometimes extrapolate) patterns to arrive at the correct answer.UCAT Abstract Reasoning questions can look unfamiliar and intimidating, but with practice, they become much easier to solve.

Situational Judgement
In this subtest you will be presented with 69 questions within 22 scenarios. Each scenario will be associated with between one and five questions.
You will have 26 minutes to answer all of the questions, but most students do not find Situational Judgement as time pressured as other UCAT sub tests. It is, however, often very difficult to judge which is the ‘correct’ answer. In Situational Judgement questions, you will receive full marks if you choose the correct answer, and partial marks if you choose an option that is close to the correct answer.
