Hey everyone! Sorry that the working out paper isn't visible for some of the video due to the sunlight 😅 I only realised when I was editing and by that time it was too late 😭 I hope it doesn't bother anyone too much!
Hi, Thank you very much for this amazing video. Doing a Live test is much better cz it shows how to manage the time same time handling so much pressure during the exam.
The way you do the test so fast is out of this world
this is super helpful, thank you so much! Cant wait to see how you approach the other subsections😁
No worries! The other subtests should be coming out in the next couple of weeks!
Very useful, thanks so much!
I'm impressed that that you barely wrote stuff. I usually write every question cuz I understand the passage, but I couldn't recall specific details. I also get a lot of ques wrong haha. Thanks!
Super helpful seeing how to effectively execute strategy and timing in this subtest, thanks heaps man! Would love to see you doing a quantitative reasoning subtest in real time…I’m really struggling with the 40 second per question time pressure at the moment :(
Thanks for the comment! Issues with time are super common and understandable, so I'm definitely going to make the live version for the QR, AR and SJT subtests soon! They should be coming in the next couple of weeks 👍
Hey mate, this video was fantastic! Please do more for other subsets, if possible! :)
Thanks a lot! Those videos should be coming out in the next few weeks :)
thankyou so much bruttha
Hey Emil,
Thank you, honestly these Venn diagrams the counting ones always trips me off, cause they’re annoyingly long, but that’s much of an easier method!!!
Glad it's helped!
This is so helpful! Thank you!
Would you say that there is a set way that the dm test in the ucat is organised? E.g. first basic syllogisms then logic puzzles then evaluating arguments
Yes, the DM section is usually organised in a set way. I can't tell you exactly but most tests are syllogisms, logic puzzles, data questions, strongest argument, and then some math/venn diagram questions
wow, so clever
Hey bro could you please do another DM subtest??!!
damn i could save a decent amount of time by just orientating the numbers without drawing venn diagrams
Hey Emil, thanks for the video. At 18:31, you say you can tell there is a strong association because the whole passage is generally pointing towards that conclusion but how did you know for sure it is a "strong" association, what if it's a moderate association or something? Am i thinking too hard about these statements?
the passage essentially tells you that beta glucan causes cholesterol to be taken out of the bloodstream, so that is certainly a strong association. It's a hard question so I wouldn't stress over it too much, that experience comes over time
Hi Emil, haven’t seen anyone talk about what to get in each section (like in DM Out of 29) to eachieve certain scaled marks (300-900). Just wanted to get a gauge. Thanks!
Hi! The reason no one talks about what to get in each section is because no one knows what score correlates to what percentile. Since scaled marks in the UCAT are based entirely on percentiles, the score (out of 29 for example) would theoretically change depending on the relative difficulty of the subtest. Apologies if this is a frustrating answer but I have no idea how score correlates to scaled marks in actuality
Thanks for a very helpful video Emil! What was your aim mark for the DM subtest out of 39?
Usually I try to get 36-37
Hi Emil! I was wondering how many hours a day did you assigned for yourself every day to study UCA, in preparation of the ucat in those 5 months that you prepared? how often did you do mini mocks and fulls mocks a month? Your channel is very insightful, keep up the good work.
I usually did 2 hours a week for the first 3 months, then a bit closer i ramped it up to 6-8 hours per week. I usually tried to do 1 mock a week for most of the time and I'd only do mini mocks when I felt like it. It's more about the quality of your revision than the quantity!
Thank you very much Emil.
At 4:26 you said it is not true, but you chose "Yes". Were you right there?
I was wrong, I'm actually not sure why they marked me as correct for that one. I went back through the test and "No" is the correct answer, as I explained it. I think there must've been a bug with the marking or something
@@EmilEddy Oh Ok. Thank you very much Eddy. I am a Sri Lankan too. I went to school 2 years in Italy and now I am studying here in the UK. I knew your ethnicity was from Sri Lanka from your Surname~>" inference"👀.
Anyway, Thank you very much for clarifying!
No worries!
Hey Emil!
I found that i tend to struggle with "Interpretting Information" primarily becasue sometimes I fail to make an inference (putting No when it is Yes) or because I make assumptions supporting the statement (putting Yes when it is no). I wanted to know if you had any tips to knowing when a statement is inferable vs. when it is an assumption?
This is a really difficult question to answer, but I'd say keep practicing and try to notice patterns when you make those mistakes. Usually things are considered assumptions if they aren't directly mentioned in the passage, while inferences can be made when things are only slightly mentioned in a passage.
@@EmilEddy Alright, cool - thanks so much Emil!
Hello,
For statement 4 in question 1, how can you assume it is true because what if there is a time scale that we are just not told about, making the answer can't tell therefore -no. Can we assume that they will never have to apply in advance even though we're not given a time scale?
Thank you.
I understand why you might think that, but there's no time scale mentioned so you can't use that to disqualify the answer
Hey Emil great video! I've got a question on decision making and was wondering if you could offer some insight.
Question 1: Could you clarify what is meant by the phrase "not all" in syllogisms questions?
For e.g if the prompt was "not all donkeys are red". And we were to select true or false in response to the statement "some donkeys are red" would it be yes or no? Essentially does "not all" include or exclude the possibility of 0 in its definition.
Question 2: In response to the prompt "All donkeys are red" would the statement "some donkeys are red" be yes or no? As in, does the word "some" come under all or is the word "all" exclusively used for 100%?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the chunky questions.
Good question! The UCAT testmakers have actually clarified that "some" and "not all" refer to the same quanitity - which is "a number that is more than 1 and less than all". I hope that makes sense
In regards to the second question, the answer would be "yes" because "some" is a subset of "all".
@@EmilEddy Hey Emil did you mean "more than 0 and less than all?" instead of "more than 1 and less than all?"
Yep that's what I meant sorry
@@EmilEddy Thanks for the clarification :)
For statement 4 in question 16, is the 'alternative therapies':salt therapy and not using bronchodilator drugs?
Yep you're right, bronchodilator drugs are prescription drugs so they are not alternative therapies.
Hi Emil, for the Yes/No questions, does UCAT mark your question as correct even though you might of got 4/5 or 3/5?
Each question is worth 2 marks, if you get 5/5 you get 2, if you get 4/5 you get 1, if you get 3/5 or lower you get 0.
Hello,
For statement 3 in question 15, where does it say experts have promoted puppetry?
Thanks
Early childhood educators can be considered experts because they are professionals who have worked in the field
@@EmilEddy Thanks for the reply but how have they promoted it?
Sorry I forgot to add this to my other comment, what was your expected mark out of 36 in QR, and out of 50 in AR? (when you did it AR was out of 55 but now it is out of 50 so what would have aimed for if yours was out of 50 as well)? Thank you so much
In QR i tried to get 32-34 and in AR I would try to get 45/50
Hey emil can you tell me how much time you took to prepare for your UCAT.
I was aware of the test in year 11 but I started properly preparing in January. So about 6-7 months
for 22:20, in fact first two lines already tells you the answer is 25
oh yeah that's true hahaha. Time pressure made me miss that i suppose
@@EmilEddy XD. Great content btw, plz keep on making these awesome videos
@@user-mx6uf2oh1z i will! thank you so much
Can you explain statement 5 on question 16 pls?
Abandoning bronchodilator drugs AND using salt therapy was associated with increased respiratory strength, not just abandoning bronchodilator drugs, which is why this is "no".
Quick Syllogism Question Emil.
‘all horcruxes are brown. all gemstones are brown.’
does the statement follow that “some gemstones can be horcruxes’
My answer would be "no", because the stimulus doesn't show any relation between the two objects. A rock could be brown and a cow could be brown but that doesn't mean some cows can be rocks. Hope that helps
i agree with you, however med entry says otherwise
don't worry too much about it, it's likely a mistake with the question. It's good that you can see that for yourself though
@@EmilEddy it’s just that i’m starting to get confused when it comes to missing information in the stimulus
makes it a bit head scratching
Hi Eddy, for cholesterol question what does it mean by in more than one way?
Timestamp?
18:18
Sorry for the delay
No worries, what it means by "in more than one way" is whether the soluble fibres are able to reduce cholesterol by more than one method. The answer is yes because beta-glucan, a soluble form of fibre, reduces cholesterol in 2 ways. 1. It stops the uptake of cholesterol in the small intestine and 2. It causes cholesterol to be broken down into bile. Hope that makes sense
hiya! for any man/woman syllogisms, how do you know where gender stops? I've seen some examples where you account for other gender identities (e.g. non-binary) whereas other questions just use male and female, so the combination is really confusing me bc I never know which is the way to go 😖
Hmmm, this is a good question. Unfortunately I don't think the official test is that gender diverse, so they will usually just use "male" or "female" and nothing different.
@@EmilEddy ah okie dokie, i’ll just continue with m and f. thank you so much!!
