CS admissions test - UCL

Hi, I've recently been informed that I may need to undertake the STAT (Special Tertiary Admissions Test) as a part of the UCL admissions process for Computer Science. This is the first year they are implementing this for candidates. I'm hoping to find some students who may have undertaken the test for other courses in order to get some guidance on how best to revise and prepare- the test is not CS specific, so may well be used by other unis for other courses. Would really appreciate any help people could provide!

Ahaha no clue I mean the email said there’s no like real cramming in revision typa **** it’s either you get the questions or you don’t , the only thing I can recommend is get good at reading, like passages so you can scan information quick and don’t waste time on any question

Guys are there non verbal reasoning questions on the test?

Cos I thought the UCL email only mentioned critical reasoning and quantitative reasoning

Do U think the STAT questions are on the same difficulty lvl as UCAT questions?

UCAT questions are the only ones I can find to practice,other than the sample questions 😭😭

Anyone know any other resources?
