The UCAT doesn’t test academic subjects like biology or chemistry but focuses on five skill-based areas. Verbal Reasoning tests reading comprehension and information analysis; Decision Making checks logical reasoning and problem evaluation; Quantitative Reasoning measures mathematical and data interpretation skills; Abstract Reasoning assesses pattern recognition and critical thinking; and the Situational Judgment Test evaluates ethical awareness and decision-making in professional scenarios. To prepare effectively, candidates should practice timed mock tests, review question strategies for each section, and build speed and accuracy through regular online UCAT practice platforms.
