UCAT Mock — 1–2 August

Since 2025 the UCAT has run without Abstract Reasoning. Cognitive scoring is now out of 2700 (Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making and Quantitative Reasoning, each 300–900), with Situational Judgement reported separately as Bands 1–4. Older totals out of 3600 — and many cut-offs quoted from earlier cycles — therefore cannot be compared directly with current results. What matters is your percentile standing on the present three-subtest scale. Candidate discussion on forums such as The Student Room consistently singles out Verbal Reasoning as the section that feels hardest under exam conditions: dense passages, ~30 seconds per question, and little room to re-read. Decision Making has grown in weight after the format change (more items and more time than pre-2025), and candidates frequently report that syllogisms, logical puzzles and probabilistic items reward practised technique rather than intuition. Quantitative Reasoning remains the highest-scoring subtest on average, yet still punishes slow calculator use and weak pacing. Situational Judgement continues to matter for shortlisting — many medical schools treat Band 4 as a hard reject. Official 2025 Consortium statistics (41,354 candidates) give a useful benchmark for interpreting practice: mean cognitive score 1891; roughly the middle of the field around 1880 (5th decile); and about 2220 required to reach the top 10% (9th decile). Mean subtest scores were VR 602, DM 628 and QR 661. On SJT, roughly one in five candidates achieved Band 1, while around 10% were placed in Band 4. This mock has been written for the current Consortium exam, not retired five-section practice banks. It mirrors the present subtest order, timings and pressure profile — including the VR time crunch, DM item styles that recent cohorts emphasise, QR under paced conditions, and SJT judgements aligned with how universities actually use bands. Use it to rehearse skipping strategy, method selection under the clock, and calm decision-making when a question type is unfamiliar. Full UCAT sitting (Abstract Reasoning removed): Verbal Reasoning 44 Q / 22 min, Decision Making 35 Q / 37 min, Quantitative Reasoning 36 Q / 26 min, Situational Judgement 69 Q / 26 min. 184 questions; 111 minutes answering time (plus ~6.5 min timed instruction screens in the real test).
