Hi Clairedelune,
The splits are as follows -
When I am saying how much time for each section the second number in brackets includes the extra minute for reading over the instructions - as soon as you move on from the instruction screen the time will go down to the amount not in brackets. Hope that makes sense, I wanted to stress that because it caught me out.
Verbal Reasoning (VR) - 44 questions in 21(22) minutes
Quantitative Reasoning (QR) - 40 questions in 21(22) minutes
Abstract Reasoning (AR) - 65 questions in 15 (16) minutes
Decision Analysis (DA) - 26 questions in 29 (30) minutes
The non congnitive analysis section is timed but there is a huge time limit as its basically personality test therefore time is irrelevant, hence this is not important.
I found time shortest on the quantitave anaylsis section but I guess everyone has different strengths and weaknesses.
One thing I did do this time round (I've done the UKCAT twice now) which I found helpful was to write down on my whiteboard before the test had started for each section, which questions I should be on at half time. Doing this beforehand just helped me with the issue of pacing a little.
I wish you the very best of luck and hope that this helped!
Cheers,
--Dave
