Decision analysis help + general tips!!!

[Med student wannabe]

For those of you who have done their UKCAT and have achieved a good score well done. I have yet to do mine. Does anyone have any tips or know of any practice material for the decision analysis section of the UKCAT. When I sat the exam last year I didn't do too well in that section. Also for high UKCAT scorers general tips for the exam will be much appreciated.

Thank you.

see my post titled 'UKCAT advice'.

I tried all the tests on the links in my post and i did alright.

However apart from the passing the ukcat and bmat book there's not a lot out there to help with the DA section

As you may know, this section requires you to break codes using a load of numbers that relate to a word.

Translate the code and see if you can make sense of it before you look at the options.

Make sure you select the option that includes all of the words and doesn't have anything extra in it (unless this is a logical interpretation of the code)

Be careful not to let the options confuse you, they put phrases in there to distract you. For example, in the code could be [opposite fast], and one of the options uses fast rather than slow. So as with all exams READ CAREFULLY.

I would recommend using the whiteboard provided to write out what you are translating in sentences that get very long because otherwise you will forget what you've got.
