Why should I attend group UCAT classes?
In our classes, students are guided through trial questions on logical reasoning, emotional intelligence and abstract thinking to prepare them for the test. This way when they undertake the test they will be well equipped with the knowledge of how to answer the UCAT style of questions.
Further, group classes are an excellent way of learning, as it is always beneficial to see how other students would have answered the questions.
For successful course results, it is necessary that all students maintain high standards in all areas. Students must maintain a positive learning attitude and respect for other students, as we are all here to achieve a common goal. If you put 110% into the course, the results will speak for themselves!
What is in the UCAT test?
UCAT will assess your abilities in each of these 5 sections which cover a range of general skills that are deemed important in health professions. The computer-based exam is 2 hours long and consists of five areas which are as follows:
| Section | Details |
| Verbal Reasoning | Assesses the ability to critically evaluate information presented in a written form |
| Decision Making | Assesses the ability to make sound decisions and judgements using complex information |
| Quantitative Reasoning | Assesses the ability to critically evaluate information presented in a numerical form |
| Abstract Reasoning | Assesses the use of convergent and divergent thinking to infer relationships from information |
| Situational Judgement | Measures the capacity to understand real world situations and to identify critical factors and appropriate behaviour in dealing with them |
