I'm pretty disappointed with mine, but they are
Section 1-3.6
Section 2-4.1
Section 3-7.5
What is really annoying me is that i did much better last year in ll 3 sections, despite orking harder for it this year!!!! Grrrr.
Never mind, such is life, and everyone stay calm, RVC have no way given out all their interview dates yet, and its never been made totally clear how the BMAT is used in relation to the whole application, so a not so great BMAT might not be the end of the world so i guess we'll just have to wait and see!!!
To those asking, is my score god enough for RVC?! Last year I got 4.6, 5.5, 10.5 and got an interview and then offer but there were people with lower scores than me being interviewed
Well done everyone!

Out of interest, which written question did people do? Most people I spoke to after the exam seemed to do the one about doctors needing to be open and honest (or whatever it was...)
Yeah I did that question... There were 3 of us at my school which sat it, and 2 of us did that one... to me it just seemed the easiest to make up bs about haha

That was my reasoning as well! Didn't know what to put for any of them really, but thought I could generate more waffle for that one! The other two questions it felt like I would actually need to 'know' more to get a half decent answer.
Section 1: 6.2
Section 2: 4.9
Section 3: 9.0
Total: 20.1
Not a total disaster!!!

Well done guys, these all look like pretty good scores to me! I got lower than a lot of you and still got RVC offer - they didn't even have my BMAT scores in front of them at the interview. They asked me how I got on and I said that I was disappointed in one section in particular, but managed to turn it around and put a positive spin on it, which clearly worked!
6.7
5.1
10.5
TOTAL: 22.3
^ I'm kind of shaking right now.. how on earth did I get these scores?! And why didn't I apply to cambridge? Grr!

Just out of interest, what did you get? You may have already said.
!!!! how i got that not a clue

I did number two about 'Science is the opposite of foolery'.
I did the same. My answer was rubbish...I couldn't remember the name of the challenger space shuttle....so I just called it "the space rocket"...they must have known what I was going on about though as I got a 9
I think the RVC are looking for balanced scores i.e 4.6, 5, 9 rather than 3.9,4,12...that doesn't put me in good stead with my 3.3 in section 1
I got 3.3, 4.6, 9.0
I did the science is not fooling yourself one too.. talked a bit about placebo affects and double blind studies.. and a bit about human error and what we could do to tackle that.
I did it too I talked about scientists working in drug companies who might fool themselves their drug was great when it had bad side effects. I said they might do it for money/prestige, but it was limited by the peer review system.

Yeah..I realised almost instantly when I was finished that double blind was probably the way to go. So thought I'd screwed up completely. Pleasantly surprised!

3.5, 5.3, 9 (I *think*)
So don't worry about even spread etc
Seriously guys, those of you who are disappointed don't panic, at the end of the day it's over and done with now and it's only one small part of a much bigger application - they're going to look at you as a whole, not reject you on the basis of one section of one exam. Concentrate on staying positive and preparing to knock 'em dead at interview!
Pft double blind was just one example... and they say the reasoning etc is way more important than the examples!
Urgh, now to wait hopefully for an RVC interview!
Though I don't think us graduates hear until feb-march. Ahhh.
