UCAT Quantitative Reasoning Subtest Done LIVE!

Today I'm doing a full Quantitative Reasoning (QR) subtest from the UCAT/UKCAT under timed conditions! I hope that anyone watching can get an idea of the strategies and thought processes I have while answering these questions and can get a better idea as to where you might need to improve!

I binged all your vids the night before my ucat and was getting low 600s but seeing how confidently you skipped questions helped me ignore my own exam instincts and stay calm whilst skipping, bringing me up to 700s and even one 800... you're a lifesaver :)

Congrats! I'm so glad to hear :))

Hey Emil, Your UCAT subtest seems to be different to the one on the website? Nice vid btw!

[@MfurankundaHuguette]

Thanks for your videos.But I have got a question in quantitative reasoning.won't you loose marks in skipping a question?

[@JeffTangArt]

Thank you for the Vid! For question 19 @5:37 how did you so quickly calculate the distance traveled in the 6 seconds? I cant wrap my head around it!

[@EmilEddy]

This is mostly experience but I know that if an object is accelerating uniformly for a certain period of time, the object's average speed during that period of time will be exactly half the final speed the object accelerated to (in this case half of 60 = 30). From there I can find the distance by multiplying average speed by the time. If that doesn't make sense, try drawing a velocity time graph for the car during that 6 second period. The distance that I'm calculating is the area under the graph for the first 6 seconds.

[@JeffTangArt]

[@tracybirege237]

Thank you!!

[@lydiapremkumar3497]

Hi again, Can you explain to me how you would calculate q 19 step by step without the 'shortcut method' of halving the acceleration for the speed. Thanks a lot

[@EmilEddy]

If you're using uniform acceleration, you can create a velocity time graph, which will be linear. The distance underneath it represents the distance travelled. In that case, you have the final speed, 60 plus the initial speed 0, divided by 2 to find the average speed over the 6 seconds. Once you have the average speed of 30, you just use normal distance speed time equations to find distance.

[@Ayesha-ve1vu]

How did you get 1.95 for number 19? You mentioned something about 30 seconds but I'm not sure how you got there?

[@i4MTheSenate]

I love your videos bro. I was just wondering if the maximum 900 points you can score on a test is getting 100% of the answers correct or is there a threshold like that of scoring a 9 in the BMAT?

[@EmilEddy]

Hi! I'm not quite sure but I believe that it is pretty much getting full marks, or only getting 1 question wrong. It isn't usually much lower than that!

[@i4MTheSenate]

@@EmilEddy awesome thank you!!!

[@toluwaolubanwo7437]

yeah I'm pretty sure to get 900 you need to be within the 93-95 percent range depending on the section.

Yo how do i improve the understanding of table questions because right know i am just doing random numbers because i am confused with alot of these questions. Any help in what to do?

[@EmilEddy]

Read the question and scan the rows and columns of the table to get an idea of what you're looking for in terms of data. Focus in on key data points and use those to answer the question

[@jackperry6269]

nice content dude!

[@lydiapremkumar3497]

Hi there, for q27. Could you explain how you would get answer option D: $163.84 and what mistake you made to get $161? Thanks a lot

[@EmilEddy]

$161.84 is actually the correct answer, the answer option is written incorrectly. I chose it because it was pretty much perfectly the same answer except for the 3.

[@MunchManCrafts]

11:15 could you explain how you read the graph please

[@chaewonpark4755]

hey emil! I personally found this QR submock really difficult compared to the ones on Medify, so I was wondering whether your UCAT exam had an easier QR? If you can let me know about the accuracy of these official practice mocks in reflecting the real exam, please let me know! :) thanks

[@EmilEddy]

The official practice mocks are slightly outdated, the real UCAT is similar to the QR section on medify and medentry

[@lydiapremkumar3497]

For Q19, how did you know that o.o5 miles was driven at 30mph but 1.95miles was driven at 60mph. Like how did you know the speed was 60mph? Thanks a lot.

[@EmilEddy]

Because the question tells you that he completed the rest of the lap at that speed.

[@annetteokeke]

Thank you so much for the video. For question 23 how did you know to use the units for extra urban rather than urban?

[@EmilEddy]

because the question says quiet country roads, so you can assume it's not in a town

[@mowfulasajahan2188]

I am able to get the questions right but the problem is I couldnt get within the allocated time. Any tipsss pleasee to increase my speed

[@EmilEddy]

The main tip I have is to skip questions that are difficult at the start - which is what I did in this case. Another thing you can do is practice getting really fast with the calculator and doing more questions to understand how to isolate what calculations you need to do from the beginning.

[@abhijaitripathi8346]

How much do you recommend revising in a day to nail these type of questions ? I have my ucat at the end of this month any tips ?

[@EmilEddy]

At first, just spend hours doing untimed questions to build up your technique, then work on adding time pressure to the equation. Do one subtest a day and spend around 2hrs on it really focussing on getting the accuracy

[@EmilEddy]

@@arieh4685 there's no specific amount of time, do untimed questions until you feel ready to put in timed pressure.

What are the hotkeys to bring up the calculator and to flag and skip questions?

alt + c, alt + f and alt + n

[@snookergaming6295]

@@EmilEddy thanks so much

[@harmanbasra7405]

bro my advice is that you don't actually flag questions, rather skip them and come back to them, but yes, use these keys to move onto the next/previous questions (alt + n & alt + p respectively) and to open the calculator (alt + c).

[@dineshemohanarajah809]

How do u stay this calm in ur mock when it's so time pressured??

[@EmilEddy]

Mostly it's because I've done a lot of practice and I know that I'll be able to finish most of what I need on time. The other thing I have to say is that I'm not actually doing the UCAT this year, so that does release a lot of pressure because the stakes aren't as high for me!

[@dineshemohanarajah809]

ah that makes sense. :)

[@hermannagra7333]

Could you please clarify why you used 30mph instead of 60mph for question 19. I know the keyword is 'uniform' but I still do not get it. Great video though!

[@EmilEddy]

I use 30mph because the car accelerates from zero to a top speed of 60mph over 6 seconds. Therefore the average speed during that time is just going to be (start speed + end speed)/2, which is 0+60/2 = 30mph. You're right in saying that the word "uniform" is what makes this true

[@lingge7757]

In uniformed acceleration, D=1/2x(V1+V2)xT, D1=1/2x(0+60)x(6/3600)=0.05, D2=2-D1=1.95, T=D/V=1.95/60=0.0325hx3600=117s, 117+6=123

[@gowrishetty5030]

@@lingge7757 You should use the average speed as that was what it was more or less going at through the entire 6 second journey and to find the average speed, when something accelerates uniformly you do the greatest speed (60) plus the lowest speed (0) divided by 2

[@superchris1511]

15:43 Wow super smart working I wouldn’t have thought to approach this like that Is this something where you had done a question similar and so knew how to approach this particular question? This is what has been keeping me up at night, is that my iQ is not high enough to think of solutions like this and yeah fair enough I can just learn from my mistakes and not make that mistake again but is that doable for every single question they could ask me? Or at least for most?

[@EmilEddy]

Yeah this is something I had seen in a similar question, but I do think that was a particularly hard question. For most questions you will have had some sort of exposure to them in the past!

Hi there, For Q13, how did you know to divide by the total frequency rather than just dividing by 5? And does frequency in this question mean the number of times parked within the time period? Thank you.

[@EmilEddy]

You've answered your own question! The frequency is the number of times parked in that time period. 100 in the first row means 100 people parked for 1 hour, which is why you divide by the total frequency
