UCAT Keyboard Shortcuts/Calculator

Learn essential keyboard shortcuts and calculator tips to boost your UCAT performance.

Our keyboard shortcuts mirror the real UCAT exam:

  • Alt+P for previous question

  • Alt+N for next question

  • Alt+F to flag the current question

Please note, 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.

You can also use your keyboard to select answers. For example, if you think the answer is ‘C’, you can press ‘C’ on your keyboard. Drag-and-drop questions must still be answered using a mouse.
