How many hours should I spend on UCAT preparation?

It is not the number of hours that you spend on UCAT preparation that is important - rather, it is what you do during that time which matters. The most efficient way to prepare is to complete a full length exam under timed conditions early in your preparation, identify your weakest areas, and work on them. In general, however, we suggest setting aside about 10% of your study time for UCAT preparation.
