UCAT Quantitative Reasoning
1. New value - original value/original value x100: Formula for percentage change
2. Difference/reference point: Most general formula for percentage change?
3. times by the decreasing/increasing factor each time on the calculator: What
is the easiest way to deal with compound interest questions?
4. Opinionated wording asking for a judgement
Statistcal confusion - asking for a mean from a range
Missing data: What are the most likely situations where you will find QR questions
with insufficient information?
5. Often round numbers to questions that answers are not very close together
Look for whether the answer is more or less than one: How do you eyeball
questions in QR?
6. Convert each value on the whole fraction itself: What is the easiest way to
convert calculations?
7. When you're finding the maximum value of something: When would you
round down in QR?
8. When you're finding how many of something you need: When do you round
up in QR?
