Verbal Reasoning (UCAT)

The Verbal Reasoning section of the UCAT tests a candidate’s ability to read, interpret and draw conclusions from information presented in a written form. It consists of 11 passages, each of which has four questions in a multiple-choice format. Candidates have 21 minutes to answer the 44 questions.

There are two question types in this section. These are:

  1. Candidates are given a question or an incomplete statement and asked to select the most suitable answer out of the four options given.
  2. Candidates must decide if the statement is logical by selecting ‘True’, ‘False’ or ‘Can’t Tell’. The option ‘True’ indicates that, based on the information provided in the passage, the statement is true. The option ‘False’ indicates that, based on the information provided in the passage, the statement is false. The option ‘Can’t Tell’ indicates that, based on the information provided in the passage, it is unknown if the statement is true or false.
