The only answer for UCAT is practice, which is what everyone says I know, but it’s true.

How did you revise for AR and DM? If you have practice questions you could try doing what I did for AR, start doing them untimed and as you get them right gradually bring in a time limit. You will get quicker and more accurate.

How are you approaching the questions? For verbal do you skim the text first or look at the question first?
I remember for verbal reasoning, I found it hard to get rid of the voice in my head that begins to read the text, you are meant to look at the text and understand it

for ar i was getting 750 as my highest score averages about 670 in it with all the mocks i have done i have done about 12 i think. for dm i am getting 700. for qr i somehow seem to get low. about 630 max i think its because i waste time on questions i am not sure abouta nd it costs me all the questions i can get right. For VR i skim but i find the text very confusing half of the time. and i always waste minute on which statemnt is true questions. i did so much practice for it. doing 11 passages or more everyday now for a whole month but i can get 25 questions right max. any advice on how to practice more effectively. also one of my main issue with these questions is when i skim i am not taking anything else in my head other than the keyword so for each question i have to go back to the text and scan all over again.

Hey QR would be the section in which you can score the highest if you can train yourself to quickly look for info which would be useful to answer your question, letting the calculator do most of the work, and sometimes even estimating. For QR personally I made use of my working paper as often as possible. Rewriting some key info from the extract (most of the time for questions which involve costs/prices) on paper helped me plan my following steps and actually saved me some time as I was not tempted to look at the given info/extract again when asked to do another calculation (same question different part). If you are using Medify just keep going at it as the questions they have on there are actually a good representation of the real thing.

I scored lowest in VR (600) and my other sections carried my scores ngl. Hence, I don't think I am qualified to give advice. Hope the above helps!
