UCAT new question type? (1 Viewer)

[Average Boreduser]

Has there been a new question type in the ucat for DM? I realised that there's this newish-looking table question asking to find probabilities of certain things in the stimulus. Last time I checked, I can't recall ever seeing this type of qn. Has there been a change?

No, I don't think so. I think you're meaning questions that you have to choose true/false and a justification to a stimulus with percentages


e.g. plane 1 has a 40% failing test A and 30% chance of succeeding test B.. plane 2 has a 50% chance failing test A and 75% chance of failing test B - which one is a better plane?

Plane B, because...
Plane B, because...
Plane A, because...
Plane A, because...

These types of questions have been in the DM test for a while now under the other true/false/justification question type

(I may have misunderstood ur type of question but oh well)

why is your UCAT goal 5th %?!??!
don't you mean 95 %?

nah like it resembled something you'd see in QR. there was a table and I think they wanted me to use conditional probability. Its seems pretty new to me idk. I finished the full DM practice tests so Ik for a fact that they only just released this because I've done been prepping since last yr now and never have I encountered a qn in DM with this level of maths involved. IDK I must've been drunk off the ginger beer the night I saw the qn maybe, bc Idk why ucat would put conditional probability into a dm test.

Nah dude those qns are practically free marks ngl. I always struggle w those stupid drag and drop qns (they always have to be so damn specific)

bruh conditional probability?!

ss or it didn't happen

 

[gamja]

also shouldn't this be in the medicine and health subforum? mods lacking today ig

why is your goal 5th percentile in UCAT if you want 99.9 atar??
or have i misunderstood your signature

yeah you're right - 5% as in top 5% or 95th percentile

why the fuck is there conditional probability in the ucat

 

[Average Boreduser]

no i think theres another way to do it that doesnt req conditional prob

 

[Average Boreduser]

/ I'm overthinking tf out of it

is the answer just 64/505?
