Guessing is part of good UCAT strategy.
That does not mean clicking randomly every time a question looks hard. It means knowing when spending more time is unlikely to pay off.
If you cannot solve a question quickly, first eliminate any clearly wrong options.
Verbal Reasoning
an option may be too strong or unsupported.
Decision Making
a conclusion may contradict one of the rules.
Quantitative Reasoning
an answer may be far outside a sensible estimate.
Situational Judgement
an option may clearly ignore safety or professionalism.
Even removing one or two options improves your guess.
You should also protect the rest of the section. One impossible-looking question should not steal time from several easier ones.
A strategic guess is often better than a stubborn two-minute struggle.
The key is to guess calmly, move on and avoid carrying frustration into the next question.
Good UCAT performance is partly about knowing what not to spend time on.
