E.g. if you think the answer is ‘C’, you can press ‘C’ on your keyboard - faster than using your mouse!
The drag-and-drop questions must still be answered using a mouse.
Please note that our mocks use Alt + Letter (or Option + Letter for Macs) for keyboard shortcuts, just like the UCAT test centres.
However, in the official practice materials, the keyboard shortcuts may not work in some browsers on a Mac. If you find this to be a case, you might try Control + Option + Letter.
Shortcuts are just one way to save time in the exam; if you're trying to work out how to save yourself time across the board, check out our UCAT ANZ timing article.
