This particular passage is easy to read and finds the answers. So I can only say it's suitable for UCAT beginners to grasp the concept of skim reading etc. I wish all the paragraphs on the VR section were this easy! After all, there's a good reason why almost everyone's worst section is VR, closely followed by the DM section.
True this technic does not work all the time. I took a few tests using this method (scan) and using the method of reading the whole passage. I scored higher every time I read the whole passage :-S
I think something that improved my scores in verbal reasoning tests is reading the article as if I have no clue of the subject, throwing away all prior knowledge and systematically scanning for keywords. Now at least I don’t get tricked by some stupid cannot tell questions that plays on your favoring of any sentence that lean towards your prior knowledge of the subject or your common sense
I agree, and same for me as well, VR was my lowest on medify practice questions and it was also the section I performed the worst when I sat my actual UCAT just three hours ago haha... But one thing I thought is that medify VR practice questions can have extremely long texts (like 700 words when in the actual test I think it was around 200-300 words) which will end up with you running out of time easily. So, I think for Verbal Reasoning questions, it might be better for you to take a look at practice questions on the official UCAT website or to take a look at Verbal Reasoning questions on the full 2 hour mock test on medify if you want to actually simulate the questions with time limit (those two sources have Verbal Reasoning questions very similar to the ones you see in the actual test in my opinion). But UCAT VR questions of the "practice" section of medify can still be very useful for improving your text related skills! (like improving reading speed, how fast you can catch important information etc)
"Thus, there may be a disagreement in particular cases" surely this is 'cannot tell' as they have used 'may be' which doesn't confirm if they actually do or don't??
The statement says there is ' NO dispute ' . The fact there may be disagreement shows its false as there is potential for dispute , whereas the statement outlines there is absolutely no potential for dispute, there isnt and cant be dispute at all.
I totally agree with Rhea. The sentence says "there is no dispute" and the passage says "there may be disagreements". So it might also mean that there may not be a dispute as we don't know if there is fully contradicted ideas on both sides. So I would definitely say "cannot tell".
last question says cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder but in the paragraph it says it's a common recessive disorder . how did u say it's true then ?
"For example, cystic fibrosis....", what is it an example off??? Read the line above. Since it's discussing Genetic disorders therefore cystic fibrosis is an example of that. It then further specifies it as a common recessive disorder, however it is still an example of a genetic disorder.
This is a good explanation video of a sample verbal reasining test, thanks. However, I do not agree with your answer regarding the "no dispute" question. The sentence says "there is no dispute" and the passage says "there may be disagreements". So it might also mean that there may not be a dispute as we don't know if there is fully contradicted ideas on both sides. So I would definitely say "cannot tell".

This was an easy passage? Im cooked
Please do a VR video on how you answer Reading Comprehension!!
can u please do the comprehension ones ?
what about the author opinion questions
But the less time you spend on this the more time you have to spend on the infer question
Yes - all you have to look for 》》p.o.q. ( part of question ) ... to answer the question faster
This is actually so helpful
This can only be done effectively in True and False questions.

@@sean100 did you have enough time to answer all questions in a mock/under timed conditions by reading the whole passage?
Thank you!! helpful and straight to the point. I learnt new skills from this. :)
Scored 830 on Medify after watching,my test is tomorrow and I’m shitting myself
How did you do?
go in the toilets

this felt so easy yet medify seems so hard. VR is my lowest by far :c

@@avanzjp6831 will try that, thanks! And I hope you did well overall :)
@@NotSmasher Overall, it was completely fine and thanks by the way! :D
Great video! Well explained 👍
Infer question require you to read the whole question, doesn’t it? Especially those which are multiple source Qs.
Yes you have to read them.
Nice video!!
really appreciate this video!
"Thus, there may be a disagreement in particular cases"
surely this is 'cannot tell' as they have used 'may be' which doesn't confirm if they actually do or don't??
question uses the word 'no' which is contrary to 'yes' or even 'may be'.
The statement says there is ' NO dispute ' . The fact there may be disagreement shows its false as there is potential for dispute , whereas the statement outlines there is absolutely no potential for dispute, there isnt and cant be dispute at all.
I totally agree with Rhea. The sentence says "there is no dispute" and the passage says "there may be disagreements". So it might also mean that there may not be a dispute as we don't know if there is fully contradicted ideas on both sides. So I would definitely say "cannot tell".
life saver
Would you advise learning to speed read by removing subvocalisation for verbal reasoning thanks
for the "there is no dispute" question, it said in the first passage one possible definition so from that it must be false
more videos please
Really helphfull but make passage visible our eyes don't work like microscope
last question says cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder but in the paragraph it says it's a common recessive disorder . how did u say it's true then ?
I have the exact same question - I noted it as False because it said "recessive"... hoping for a better exaplanation
"For example, cystic fibrosis....", what is it an example off??? Read the line above. Since it's discussing Genetic disorders therefore cystic fibrosis is an example of that. It then further specifies it as a common recessive disorder, however it is still an example of a genetic disorder.
@@its_not_lux thanks alot.
Thankyou so much after doing these I am literally finding answers in less than a minute!
these are only for true or false....but in GRE,they are given different type of questions
this isnt about GRE its about UCAT
Cant get the tutorial on the website 🤔

Same here
to me i think that disputes and disagreements are linked
MOST OF THE TIME, THE QUESTION HAS CONTENT LONG SENTENCES THAN YOU PRESENTED THE VIDEO
Passage/ questions way too easy. And where’s the comprehensions?
is a week enough time to study for this
Definitely NO, I’ve been revising for one and a half months
not really no
Well I have about 2 days and just I’ve started now sooooo
@@m.0742 do you recommend revising a month early or do u end up reaching a plateau in a few weeks?
Gurtek Singh Samra a solid month is good yes
