UCAT scoring & marking scheme

Strategy: UCAT has no negative marking. Attempt every question — blank answers cost you potential marks but cannot pull your score down.

Scale: UCAT (1200-3600).

How UCAT is conducted

• Mode
  Standard — practice without proctoring on Wrexa Edge, or enable optional webcam proctoring to simulate test-day conditions.
• Test format
  Linear / fixed-form — every candidate sees the same number of questions per section.
• Backtracking
  Allowed — you can revisit and change answers within a section.
• Mark for review
  Available — flag tough questions and return to them before submitting the section.

UCAT time strategy

With 225 questions in 115 minutes, you have about 31 seconds per question on average. Successful candidates aim for the following pacing on each section:

• Verbal Reasoning (44 Q)
  Target ~29 sec/question. If a question takes more than 44 seconds, mark for review and move on.
• Decision Making (29 Q)
  Target ~64 sec/question. If a question takes more than 96 seconds, mark for review and move on.
• Quantitative Reasoning (36 Q)
  Target ~42 sec/question. If a question takes more than 63 seconds, mark for review and move on.
• Abstract Reasoning (50 Q)
  Target ~14 sec/question. If a question takes more than 21 seconds, mark for review and move on.
• Situational Judgement (66 Q)
  Target ~24 sec/question. If a question takes more than 36 seconds, mark for review and move on.
