You have approximately 28 seconds per question in UCAT VR. This practice set focuses on building the habits that allow you to answer TFC questions quickly without sacrificing accuracy.
Quick-Reference Strategy
Statement first, passage second. Always read the statement before looking at the passage. This gives you keywords to scan for.
Keyword scan, not full read. You do not need to read the entire passage. Scan for the most distinctive keyword from the statement.
Decide in 15 seconds. If you cannot find relevant information in 15 seconds, select Can't Tell and move on.
Flag and move. If you are torn between two answers after 20 seconds, pick your best guess, flag the question, and move on.
