13 minutes

Abstract Reasoning is a tricky section to grasp especially as there are so many different patterns you could get! We’ll teach you award-winning methods to help you crack through the questions using pattern recognition techniques.

Tutorials

Lesson 1
Introduction

We begin with an overview of Abstract Reasoning, including a summary of question types, the common pitfalls and the key techniques required.

Lesson 2
AR Question Types

There are 4 Abstract Reasoning question types. In this tutorial, we introduce each one, and discuss the differences in approach, timing and difficulty.

Lesson 3
Warm Up Quiz

In this tutorial we warm you up with some practice patterns before we jump into trickier sets later on. You’ll be able to see how AR works, and understand how to spot patterns.

Lesson 4
Type 1 Questions

Type 1 questions are the most common type in Abstract Reasoning. We will discuss the ideal strategy for these questions, and practice some sets.

Lesson 5
The SPONCS Method

In this tutorial we will summarise the key types of patterns that appear in the UCAT, including Shape, Position, Orientation, Number, Colour and Size patterns.

Lesson 6
AR Triggers

In AR, you haven’t got enough type to look for every pattern from SPONCS. You need to spot triggers, which will guide you towards the right direction and save crucial time.

Lesson 7
Number Patterns

We will teach you how to look for common Number patterns, including the number of sides, number of total shapes, number of intersections and much more.

Lesson 8
Shape Patterns

We will teach you how to look for common Shape patterns, including presence of a specific shape, symmetry, curved vs. straight-sides, regular vs. irregular and much more.

Lesson 9
Size Patterns

We will teach you how to look for common patterns relating to the relative size of shapes, including common combinations of Size with other pattern types.

Lesson 10
Position Patterns

We will teach you how to look for common Position patterns, including position of shapes in quadrants, rotation and much more.

Lesson 11
Colour Patterns

We will teach you how to look for common Colour patterns, including patterns involving grey, black, striped and spotted shapes. Colour patterns are often combined with other pattern types.

Lesson 12
Orientation Patterns

We will teach you how to look for Orientation patterns, including patterns involving direction, arrows and relative position of shapes.

Lesson 13
Distractors

UCAT questions often have distractor shapes and boxes, which are designed to waste your time. We’ll explain how to spot them, avoid them and focus on the important shapes.

Lesson 14
Dependent Patterns

Sometimes patterns involve two steps, whereby one pattern depends on another pattern. These questions can be tricky, so we will practice them and discuss the best approach.

Lesson 15
Secondary Patterns

Sometimes sets have two patterns – one major pattern, and one minor pattern. We will discuss when to look for a second pattern, and when to save time and move on.

Lesson 16
Timing Strategies

Abstract Reasoning is the quickest UCAT section. It can fly by, so it’s especially important to be sharp with your timing. We will teach you how to spot patterns efficiently and quickly.

Lesson 17
Type 2 Questions

Type 2 Abstract Reasoning questions involve a series of shapes, with the question asking you to finish the series. We will work through examples, and teach you how to approach them.

Lesson 18
Type 3 Questions

Type 3 Abstract Reasoning questions involves spotting relationships between pairs of shapes. We will work through several examples, and again discuss the best approach.

Lesson 19
Type 4 Questions

Type 4 Abstract Reasoning questions involve a similar approach to Type 1 questions, with a slight twist. We will practice, discuss and perfect your technique for these questions.

Lesson 20
AR Test Day

In this tutorial we’ll give you a week by week plan for your Abstract Reasoning preparation. We’ll also discuss how to perform at your best on UCAT Test Day.

Situational Judgement

18 Lessons
69
25 Minutes

We approach Situational Judgement by working through the GMC Guidelines and Medical Ethics to help you understand the ethical knowledge and grasp the technique required to secure Band 1.

Tutorials

Lesson 1
Introduction to SJT

Here we breakdown the different question types you can get in the Situational Judgement section of the exam and help you adjust to the skills required here.

Lesson 2
Appropriateness

In this lesson, we start looking at the “appropriateness” type of questions and lay out a step by step strategy on how to answer questions related to this.

Lesson 3
Importance

We look at the “importance” type of question in Situational Judgement and help you understand how to differentiate between very important and not important at all

Lesson 4
Tackling the Scenario

Here we give you our expert strategy which has been devised by current doctors and medical students based on their insight into the clinical environment.

Lesson 5
Knowing Your Role

When you are faced with a scenario, you have to identify the status and profession of the person involved. E.g. capabilities and responsibilities of a GP will be very different to that of a Medical Student.

Lesson 6
Key Principles

We give you an overview of the principles of situational judgement including patient safety and professionalism. You will learn which of these are most important in a clinical setting.

Lesson 7
Patient Safety

The most important thing you are taught as a medical student is to always be safe! It is drilled in and is the most important quality in medicine

Lesson 8
Working with Remits

This applies in particular to situations revolving around medical students – Medical students are not authorised to make decisions surrounding medical care or give any treatment

Lesson 9
Confidentiality

Confidentiality is important for many reasons – this includes patient trust in the profession. Patients are often anxious to come to doctors and so when they do inform them of information they expect that it will not be told to anyone else

Lesson 10
Professionalism

Doctors and dentists should be responsible in healthcare setting and outside healthcare settings. This means that all students and doctors should act responsibly as they are representing a whole profession

Lesson 11
Honesty & Integrity

Everyone makes mistakes and it’s important that if mistakes are made that we follow the right protocol to identify them
You should not directly influence patients’ decision – the modern model of healthcare is patient centred – we want patients to be at the heartbeat of their decisions.

Lesson 12
Teamwork & Respect

No one is above anyone else – it’s why doctors and nurses wear the same type of scrubs. We go through common SJT scenarios around this and help you spot key patterns in their questions.

Lesson 13
Duties of a Doctor

Here we condense the GMC Principles in a series of short videos with interactive question-based tutorials.

Lesson 14
GMC #1: Performance

We go through the first GMC principle of Knowledge, Skills & Performance and go through Situational Judgement questions around it.

Lesson 15
GMC #2: Safety

We go through the second GMC principle of Safety and Quality and go through Situational Judgement questions around it.

Lesson 16
GMC #3: Teamwork

We go through the third GMC principle of Communication, Partnership & Teamwork and go through Situational Judgement questions around it.

Lesson 17
GMC #4: Trust

We go through the fourth GMC principle and go through Situational Judgement questions around it.

Lesson 18
Medical Pillars

We discuss the 4 Key Medical Pillars and talk through real life SJT scenarios to help you get to grips with the exam.
