UCAT- your gateway to Medicine in the UK.
The decision to pursue Medicine is a lifelong commitment, and once the choice has been made there is no turning back. As you are aware there are many milestones to achieve before you can gain acceptance into the top Universities. Most of them require you to complete a standardized entrance exam. UCAT: University Clinical Aptitude Test is a standardized test assessing your numeracy, literacy, and critical thinking abilities. If you aspire to study Medicine or Dentistry in the UK, AUS, or NZ, acing this test is mandatory.
What is UCAT?
The 2-hour computer-based test consists of 5 divisions, namely: Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Abstract Reasoning, Decision Making, and Situational Judgment. Each section tests you on multiple abilities. The first four sections are scored on a scale ranging from 300 to 900, bringing the total to 3600, while the Situational Judgment is scored using a band scale of 1-4, with 1 being the highest.

This session is designed to help you learn the tips and strategies to become adept at answering questions within the shortest time frame. The verbal class includes suggestions aimed at helping you to excel in VR and SJ.
Verbal Reasoning:
The first section of the test (and often considered easy by most students initially) is one of the most challenging to score well in. Testing your ability to speed read, comprehend, analyze, and infer information within a very short time span, is one of the most dreaded sections. It presents you with 44 questions from 11 passages of varied content ranging from history to physical sciences and has the most variety of questions. The biggest challenge is: How will you answer 44 questions accurately in 21 minutes? There is only one way to know. Attend the master class!
Situational Judgment:
The last and perhaps one of the most interesting and novel sections provides you with different scenarios and assesses your ability to rate the appropriateness of a response or the importance of a factor and the extent to which it might affect your reaction. In this section, time is not your enemy but the morals that we are bound by could cloud our judgment. It becomes essential to train your mind to think and act as a professional would.
