UCAT Revision Checklist: What to Cover Before Test Day

Before your test, you should feel familiar with the main skills in all four sections.

For Verbal Reasoning, check that you can:

  • scan for key information
  • distinguish False from Can’t Tell
  • identify inference
  • avoid outside knowledge
  • handle strong wording

For Decision Making:

  • interpret syllogisms
  • use Venn diagrams
  • handle probability
  • organise logic puzzles
  • judge arguments

For Quantitative Reasoning:

  • percentages
  • ratios
  • averages
  • rates
  • unit conversions
  • tables and charts
  • calculator use

For Situational Judgement:

  • patient safety
  • confidentiality
  • honesty
  • teamwork
  • escalation
  • competence
  • proportionality

Building Your Plan

You should also have practised timed sections and at least some full-test work.

Finally, review your personal mistake patterns. Your own weak points matter more than a generic checklist.

A good final revision checklist is not about covering everything equally. It is about making sure nothing important is completely unfamiliar.
