## Practise a skill. Understand your next step.

Choose a topic that fits your current level. These short samples support the skills discussed above; they are not a complete UCAT mock test.

Understand it. Try it. Review it.

## Put your data, probability and interpretation learning into practice.

Worked example · Data, probability and interpretation

### Find the mean and median of 2, 3, 4, 6, 10.

1. The total is 25 and there are 5 values, so mean = 5.
2. The ordered middle value is 4, so median = 4.
3. The high value of 10 pulls the mean above the median.

Common mistakes to check

- Treating correlation as causation
- Ignoring whether a sample represents the population

A focused way forward

## Build a study routine around the test.

Start with the consortium’s free tutorials and official practice tests. Keep an error log separating comprehension, reasoning, calculation and time management. Use untimed review to improve the method, then practise pacing in the official interface.

Discuss your next step

1. 01

### Understand the starting point

Use the official requirements and your attempted work to identify the next skill.
2. 02

### Practise with a purpose

Review a method, attempt a new task and explain the reasoning in your own words.
3. 03

### Review and adjust

Check repeated mistakes and revisit the skill before adding more timed practice.
