(2021) Full UCAT Decision Making Guide! 99th Percentile

Hi everyone!
Today's video is a continuation of my UCAT crash course, where I'll be going through the ways I approached the Decision Making Subtest in the UCAT, which I scored a perfect 900 in.

The most helpful channel out there when it comes to Ucat !!!

[@EmilEddy]

Thank you!

[@Grace-un7yb]

This was really helpful tysm!

[@marnicloete3582]

Thanks Emil your channel is super helpful :)!

[@EmilEddy]

thank you so much!

[@mmmmmm____zzz5555]

SOOO helpful

[@a_active9904]

the amount of time you moved your hands!! THIS IS DONE DILEBRATLY AND IS SO FUNNY!!!!!!!

[@lydiapremkumar3497]

Hi there, For Q13(the interpreting data question), can you assume that the 'amount of component extracted' is the same as 'dissolving in water'?

[@EmilEddy]

Good pick up, I didn't really like that question, but yes you can

[@jimzzhang]

Go boi

[@victoriali166]

go boi

[@mohamedalzouabi2382]

That was great!!! Can you please do a video of you attempting a whole sub test on the other sections like you did for verbal reasoning

[@EmilEddy]

Yep! I'll be releasing those sometime pretty soon, probably in the coming weeks!

[@EmilEddy]

@syntrez Love to hear it!

[@nssproductions.5079]

For the strongest argument questions, if you have two statements that closely coincide with each other in terms of addressing the key issue in the question, how do you differentiate between the two? Do you look at opinion vs fact?

[@EmilEddy]

Usually you look for things like, reasoning behind why the argument might work or opinion vs fact yeah. Often it just boils down to how relevent the argument actually is

[@arieh4685]

What is the best way and approach to tackle and practice mathematical type questions? especially ones where you need to build an equation?

[@EmilEddy]

I'd highly recommend that you write down as much of the equation as you can. Don't be afraid to use variables like x and y to come to the answer you need

[@milk6252]

Do you have to get a full 29 to get 900 in DM? Also, how do partial marks work in syllogisms (like if you get 1/5 and 4/5 do they both equate to a partial mark?). Cheers!

[@EmilEddy]

It's very likely you need 28 or 29 for 900 in DM. With syllogisms, if you get 5/5, full marks, if you get 4/5 partial marks, if you get 3/5, no marks

[@luv1508]

When approaching DM, do you just to it straight off the bat from question 1-29 or do you look for certain ones and do them first? e.g. Venn diagrams, Argument questions, Evaluating conclusions, Graph related questions then Syllogisms

[@EmilEddy]

I'm pretty confident in DM so I just go straight through in order, however if there are hard syllogisms, logic puzzles or data questions I will skip those pretty much straight away

[@ognjenstankovic2287]

Do you have your screen zoomed out, because my medify seems way more zoomed in making me have to scroll down for all questions

[@EmilEddy]

I don't think my screen is zoomed out, I might just have a bigger monitor

[@raiyanahmed3534]

What package did you use for preparation?

[@EmilEddy]

Hi! Sorry for the late reply, but I used both Medify and Medentry - I didn't go to any workshops, just used the online platforms.

[@Abdullah-bk1lr]

for the last question, why did you write 2x for females?

[@EmilEddy]

It was that the number of female was x, and then the number of males + females was x + x + 3 = 2x + 3 = 27. Then I solved that to get the number of females, x as 12

[@MasterNinja786]

At 10:51 why can't there be 3 red cars? I got the question right but it was intuition not logic and i have no idea why there cannot be 3 red cars. Also at 17:52 where did you get 2x+3 from? i suck at these types of questions.

[@EmilEddy]

There can't be 3 red cars because of the 5 cars, they tell you that 2 sedans are green. Of the remaining 3 cars, they tell you that 1 is blue. Therefore Sam and Rosie must have red hatchbacks.

[@EmilEddy]

I've already answered the one about 17:52 in the comments, but - it was that the number of females was x, and then the number of males + females was x + x + 3 = 2x + 3 = 27. Then I solved that to get the number of females, x as 12

@@EmilEddy yo thanks for the tremendous help that you have given me. Appreciate it

[@user-dw4ws2xz6c]

What resources did u use for the whole ucat preparation? Just Medify??

[@EmilEddy]

I used both Medify and Medentry :)

[@user-dw4ws2xz6c]

@@EmilEddy how did you find medentry? Would it be necessary to use both?

[@EmilEddy]

@@user-dw4ws2xz6c Medentry and Medify were both good in my opinion, although it definitely wasn't necessary to use both!
