Why Doing More UCAT Questions Is Not Always Better

There is a point where doing more questions stops helping.

If you are tired, rushing and barely reviewing, extra questions can simply repeat the same mistakes.

This is why question totals are a poor way to compare preparation.

One student may complete 2,000 questions and understand every error. Another may complete 5,000 and still make the same mistakes.

Who prepared better?

The first student may have learned more.

Use question volume as a tool, not a goal.

When you need fluency, higher volume can help. When you need understanding, slow down.

A strong UCAT session should leave you with at least one clear lesson.

If your only takeaway is “I did 100 questions”, that is not enough.
