Practice the full decision making section

One UCAT pass covers all four sections, full combined practice and every drill replay. Accounts with free first attempts can try each short drill once. Saved results and explanations remain available.

Which conclusion must follow?

Learn the methods

Read worked examples, identify common mistakes and plan your pacing before taking a timed section.

Read the study guide

Review accuracy and pace

Reopen your original questions and answers, see the steps you missed, and compare attempts with the same setup.

Results show raw practice performance. They do not convert to an official UCAT scaled score.

Common questions

How long is UCAT Decision Making?

The current standard section has 35 questions in 37 minutes, with a separate 90-second instruction period. The questions vary in the amount of reading and working required.

What does No mean in a Yes/No conclusion question?

Choose No when the conclusion does not follow from the supplied information. It may be contradicted, or it may remain uncertain. Do not choose Yes just because the conclusion is possible.

What question types should I prepare for?

Practice syllogisms, logical puzzles, arguments and assumptions, interpreting information, Venn diagrams, and probability or statistical reasoning. Read each question’s instruction; the same subject matter can ask for different kinds of judgement.

How is Decision Making marked?

In the official test, single-answer items are worth one mark and multiple-statement items up to two, with partial credit possible. Our original practice reports explain their own raw marking. They do not reproduce an official scaled score.

Can I revisit questions?

Within a section, use the navigator and flags to return to questions while time remains. You cannot go back to an earlier section after moving on in the full simulation. Feedback appears after finishing the attempt.

Does a UCAT pass cover Decision Making and the other sections?

Yes. One UCAT pass covers all four sections, the full assessment and drill replays. Available free drill attempts are shown before you start.

Use the official preparation too
