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 Quantitative Reasoning?

The current standard section has 36 questions in 26 minutes, following a separate two-minute instruction period. Check the official UCAT timings for approved extra-time arrangements.

Can I use a calculator?

A basic on-screen calculator is available for Quantitative Reasoning and Decision Making. Practice using the official tutorial’s calculator as well as our practice tool; keyboard behavior and layout can differ.

What math should I practice?

Focus on percentages, ratios, rates, unit conversions, tables, charts and summary statistics. The main challenge is identifying the relevant data and the right calculation quickly. Advanced scientific calculator functions are not needed.

Do practice marks convert to a UCAT score?

No. These original questions provide raw practice results and explanations. They are not equated to the official test, so a practice percentage cannot be converted reliably to a 300–900 section score.

Does a UCAT pass include the other sections?

One UCAT pass covers the section tests, full assessment and drill replays across Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning and Situational Judgement. Available free drill attempts are shown before you start.

Use the official preparation too

Work through the Consortium’s free tutorials and practice tests to become familiar with the official interface.
