* MEGATHREAD * - UKCAT 2016 Entry Discussion Megathread

what do u think is classed as a very good UKCAT score???

A quick search on Manchester's admissions page showed this. 650 is just at the average so it may be risky. It'll probably be best to wait for the stats for this year before applying.

really? thats quite hard though ?

Yeah,You Ace it, good luck.
Be positive and don't get stressed if the first few questions are hard,believe in yourself.

I found official mocka to be similar to QR in real exam

are the practice tests, on the ukcat website, harder than the actual thing?

I really want to know this as well

Guys il be leaving this form after tomorrow but il be sure to update you all first

Alright and good luck!!

Thank you! I suppose I will have to put the Manchester option on hold for now. I don't know how helpful the year's average will be for my decision.
I am also considering Cardiff, Liverpool and Sheffield. Any opinions/suggestions? thanks again

Did mine on the 25th
After 2 days of using a borrowed medify account, my scores were as follows:

VR: 620 (disappointed, but never really expected much better. I have a tendency of reading without digesting the info XD)
QR: 810
AR: 870
DA: 740
SJT: Band 2

Total 3040
Average 760

I highly recommend using medify.
Very, very helpful, although it can be a pain to navigate at times.

I also used the Dummies book. Was good, but is a tad different to the real thing.
But it's good practice nonetheless.
I used the tests on the UKCAT website 24 hours before my test.

Avoid 'practising' right before your test; you're unlikely to reap much benefit, as it tests for more 'long-term' ability. But it's possible that you may worry yourself unnecessarily by doing more questions so close to your test.

I don't know about Cardiff or Liverpool but you should be fine with Sheffield. Maybe look into UEA, Bristol or Birmingham (if you have the required grades) since they don't use UKCAT as much or at all.

I am considering UEA actually! I really want to apply to Manchester, is risky though. I don't have as many A*s at gcse for Cardiff but their entry requirements page says, that most usually have 4-5 or more and/or AAA or abover at A2. Fortunately I have the latter, Liverpool take UKCAT for the first time, I applied there last year but got rejected. I improved my application based on their feedback of not displaying enough care towards the community. Bristol is way to oversubscribed, 5500+ applicants last year. How about yourself? How was your UKCAT and where are you considering of applying?

Hey guys, has anyone had any problems using medify's calculator?? I find that it sometimes won't completely clear my input even if I repeatedly press the ON/C button. Any help?
