I dont think they are in order or difficult i.e. the hardest ones are not at the end. Best to do ones you know you can do quickly and correctly first then come back if you have time - if running out of time, go back and GUESS lol

I want to have another rant about the UKCAT test and it's corresponding book.

Apparently Carbon dioxide is the opposite of oxygen. Also in the test oxygen is a synonymn for "air". Now correct me if I'm wrong, but air has carbon dioxide in it too and is only 21% oxygen?

Are the people who wrote this "decision analysis" bit fools? Far be it beyond me, but I thought that the opposite of oxygen would be "no oxygen", which was an incorrect answer. I hope that on the actual test they haven't included anything as woefully scientifically ignorant as this.

They do that sort of rubbish intentionally, so that you only use the information they give you - even if you know it's complete unscientific crap, you're not meant to use your own knowledge.

Stupid UKCAT
