UCAT Decision Making Tips - How to consistently score over 700!

I will describe and explain how to answer the 5 primary question types in the UCAT decision making, as well as give many tips for how to score well in each of these question types. I work through real UCAT examples to give you an idea for what these questions are like in the exam. The video chapters are as follows:
0:00 - Introduction
0:48 - Decision making overview
1:02 - general tips
2:45 - Type 1, Syllogisms / drawing conclusions
7:12 - Type 2, Logical puzzles
9:49 - Type 3, Evaluating arguments
12:46 - Type 4, Venn diagrams
14:57 - Type 5, Probabilities
I hope this video is useful, and I wish you the best of luck with your medical school application!

Hi for the venn diagram questions when it says k pop and ainme for example does that not mean the full of both circles bcs is it noot meant to say k pop and anime only

[@johnobmasca4304]

are these like the average kind of questions u get. because im using medentry and their questions are quite complicated, especially syllogism where you have lots of info to read

[@MarkosDrakos]

It really varies. Medentry has some great sample questions, but I know that their question bank isn't the greatest. I'd recommend using Medify's question bank if possible, it is the most representative of the actual exam questions. Don't worry if you find these questions hard at first, they do get easier to work out over time, and they may seem complicated but there is usually enough time in the decision making section to finish comfortably!

Hi! As a UCAT tutor, I try to get my students to do a range of questions from a range of question banks. What I’ve found is that medentry is generally more difficult, but the exam you will get on the day has a greater range of difficulties - and this range is quite reliable for the actual exam (i.e. everyone will get a roughly the same number of easier / harder questions). Therefore, I recommend doing medify, which has the greatest number and also a great range of question difficulties, especially for practising full mock exams.

For ib how did u find motivation to study

[@MarkosDrakos]

Oof that's a tough question. I suppose I just sorta focused on what I could control - trying to understand all the key concepts before tests, rather than trying to study for hours and hours on end - I didn't have the motivation for this either. I'd say break down your tasks into little chunks to make it easier to process. Also throw your phone out the room!

hi i wanna ask for the decision making- should vs could, may i know if the questions asks should the gov … etc and select the strongest argument, if one of the statement below is could or would, we would eliminate it?

[@MarkosDrakos]

@@ay2760 Yep, that's basically it!

[@sumaisakabir8029]

How could you know Lucy follows Tony?

[@nahgimgood]

cuz your mum does

[@AleeshaAmanat]

Cuz everyone follows lucy , so that means tony also follows lucy . But tony only follows people who follow him first , so this means lucy follows him first

[@nxyn_ng]
