Hi Kunal, I have a question related to Heyle's question below. I believe Heyle is correct and would love you to correct us so we better understand. The way i read it if we get a passage for example ... "Smoking among 10 year olds in the town of wigglewiggle has become a popular activity to while away the boredom of the lack of amusements in town. Most of the 10 year olds interviewed genuinely found smoking fun"
Hi Dan, thanks for your comment! I've just replied to Hayley below, so please have a read. You are correct and we'll fix that in the new versions of these tutorials
@@MedicMind Hi Thanks for that. I've purchased your course and so far it is fantastic. In verbal reasoning alone i have increased my average from 60% to 85% just with some of your tips.
Sorry but how can "best" be inferred from "most popular"? It could be popular simply because it's located well or easy to gain entry into. Even with the 'genuine dream', it doesn't necessarily mean that it is one of the best through objective criteria? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Hi Heyle, it's Kunal here. Inferences can always cause debate, and the blurred line is what makes it difficult in the UCAT. You could definitely be correct - I used the example of 'UCL is one of the best' and 'UCL is the best' to highlight how you can use an inference to predict something is true (the former), whereas in some cases it is too far an assumption (the latter). In the UCAT, you would have a longer passage with a little more evidence - e.g. if the passage was discussing many of the positive qualities of UCL, then we would be even more confident in our assumption. Although the point you raise is correct, and perhaps Can't Tell could be the correct answer (although the UCAT does throw some ambiguous and rather touch-and-go answers from time to time). Thanks for the useful feedback!
Man , you guys are the plug when it comes to free resources 👏🏾👌🏾
@5:58 How can popular be the same as best? I just can’t agree with this one 🤔

I agree with you. So sad if the UCAT contains questions like this and only has one answer, we will be dead 😢
@3:20 That statement can classify as an “extreme” statement I suppose?
Good ! But Very confuse 😿
