The curriculum map follows the official UCAT Consortium test structure and timing, then adds curated public resources, AI-generated study notes, quizzes, and progress tracking for each module. Resource recommendations are study aids, not official UCAT endorsement.

UCAT is one admissions parameter alongside grades, interviews and SJT. We don't compute per-school coverage — visit each admissions page for current policy.
Verbal Reasoning
11 passages of 200–400 words, 4 questions each. The most time-pressured cognitive section and consistently the lowest-scoring. Passages are deliberately non-medical to avoid rewarding subject knowledge.
- Sub-topics
- Two-pass reading: scan for structure, then question-led return
- Anchor words: dates, proper nouns, units, numerals
- Skip strategies for opinion-heavy paragraphs
- Building a 250 wpm scan rhythm
High-leverage traps- Re-reading the full passage for every question
- Losing place in long ethical passages

Decision Making
After the 2025 reweighting (29→35 Qs, 31→37 min UK), DM carries the largest absolute mark allocation among cognitive subtests. The only section with partial credit. Most marks-per-prep-hour for a prepared student.
- Sub-topics
- Quantifier hierarchy: All → Most/Majority → Many/Some → Few → None
- Yes/No drag-drop on 5 conclusions per item
- Partial-credit recovery rule: evaluate each conclusion independently
- When a stronger quantifier than premises support → always No
High-leverage traps- Drag-dropping all 5 conclusions without checking each (leaves 1-mark partials)
- Quantifier inflation (treating 'some' as 'most')

Quantitative Reasoning
9 data-set scenarios × 4 questions, GCSE-level only (no calculus, no trig identities, no quadratics). On-screen 4-function calculator with memory (Alt+C). The most 'learnable' section — bounded content.
- Sub-topics
- Straight percentages
- % increase / decrease
- Reverse percentages
- Compound percentages
- Tax brackets (progressive vs flat)
High-leverage traps- Applying flat-rate logic to progressive tax brackets
