The decision-making section of UCAT 2025 can be improved by following the advice below. This section has 35 questions to answer in 37 minutes, so it is one minute per question. The Yes, No, syllogism questions will consist of 4 answer set options. Within each will be 5 statements which you have to verify as yes or no. You should only use conclusions which are backed by evidence within the information given. There may be a fact that is true but not specifically mentioned in the text, so the answer must be no. If you are unsure, then it gets marked as a NO again. Due to the time-consuming nature of syllogism questions, try to leave these until the end. Word vocabulary is important in UCAT Decision making, with “all, few, some and none” having distinct meanings and conclusions. Information is presented as tables, text, graphs and charts, so learn to get good at jotting this onto the whiteboard provided, honing in on the essential points. When revising, become aware that your progress will often be non-linear. This is true throughout the UCAT exam revision. It is better to practice untimed as much as you can because many students who end up struggling decided to commence timed tests too early. Be patient and realise that not all sub-tests will be equal in difficulty. When going onto timed questions, use the keyboard shortcuts efficiently. Here are these:
Alt + C for calculator
Alt + F to flag a question
Alt + N to question
Alt + P to the previous question
Alt + V brings the Navigator window
