How do I do well in the UCAT?

The UCAT is very different to A levels or GCSEs. Whilst these exams are ones you may have to revise a lot of content for, success in the UCAT comes from practice and having the right exam techniques. Each of the sections in the UCAT has a different purpose and hence can be approached differently; its useful to keep this in mind so you can prepare for each accordingly. Something which applies to most sections, however, is the time pressure. When doing the UCAT, it’s important that you don’t deliberate your answer to every question as otherwise its likely you will run out of time. Practicing doing questions of each section will help you answer questions more efficiently. It’s also useful to practice doing the entire test without taking breaks, as you’ll have to do in the real thing – staring at a screen for two hours straight is more difficult than it sounds!
