I never crammed.

Honestly, cramming is what you do when you need to retain a large volume of information for a short term yield (ie a few hours). It DOES NOT WORK for the UMAT - there IS no information that you can cram.

If you haven't been practicing until three days before, then the benefits of those three days will be minimal. Granted, they'll be a lot better than nothing, but it would be FAR more effective to sleep and eat well, and stay relaxed.

can anyone whose done it explain section 3, q48?
ie.. whats going on exactly?
Okay. Firstly, can you see the dots, which form a right angle? This 'right angle' of dots is rotating anti clockwise. So that leaves you B, C, E - as possible answers. Now it gets interesting.
The basic roation of the shapes around the squares is clockwise. Each time a rotation occurs, one of the smaller shapes stays behind for another rotation. In the first case it is the circle. You can see how in the following sequence - it is still there. In the next case, it is the square, that stays behind.
Can you see how this is also following a clockwise progression? - i.e. top left corner, top right corner - so the next one is the bottom right. That means the bottom right circle stays behind, and the rest rotate - so you get C.
Hopefully that helps you - I found this to be the most difficult one as well.

EDIT: The other way to distinguish between B, C and E. Is to look closely what happens with the shapes. E is rotating anticlockwise - so you can rule that out. B rotates, but unlike the first three, doesn't leave a shape behind. So C must be it. This might help if it's harder to find exactly which shape changes, stays, etc.

The rotating dots is easy to spot. Regarding the shapes, theres a simpler method I devised. Every second step each shape jumps to the position diagonal to it.
