omfg you are Basically same everything! Where you applying and what were your AS's?

Me AABBC :frown:

C in Geography which is the AS I am dropping.. and the other B is critical thinking which is not accepted as a AS ... so that limits my choices ALOT .... (Most ask for B in as droped :/ )

does anyone know roughly the split between true/false/can't tell and reading comprehension questions on the actual UKCAT for VR? thank you..

Its reckoned to be an 80:20 split... 80% comprehension, 20% T/F/CT

How accurate is using the times the percentage by 600, and adding 300 to get a score? And how close is the medify QR and AR to the real thing?

I did my UKCAT y'day and got average of 730:
with
VR: 650
QR:810
Abstract: 740
DA: 720

Could I still apply to King's , which is pretty UKCAT heavy

Undergrad? Yes graduate? Possibly yes

Come on, don't be silly. It's clearly people who have just ticked the option to troll. From my records, there are six people in this thread who have a score over 800. According to the poll there is 40. I find it hard to believe.

Last year people randomly clicked on that score on this thread when thy hadn't sat it! Don't worry the TSR is also skewed to reflect the better half of scores

Thank you so much! The UKCAT is the least favourite part of the process for me so I am beyond ecstatic to have it done. Have you done yours yet? Are you applying as an A2 student or graduate?

Yeah, people must have lied now that I think about it as according to the UKCAT data, the highest score last year was 3380...

I'm glad you got over that hurdle then! Yeah, I got 712.5! But you have done much better than most people I know! I'm not an English applicant - I'm Scottish, and applying as an undergrad. What about yourself?

Wow! Congrats that is incredible. You must have worked so hard. It is such a relief to have it done. I'm from Northern Ireland and I'm applying as a graduate for undergrad courses. Really hope I get in this time

Medically

Wait hold on, during the real ukcat exam, there are 20% of T/F/can't tell?

Please someone tell if that's true or not!

I can't remember now and in away!! But I remember doing better on medium than on easy and the hard one was hard. I can't remember the Kaplan conversion though either cod I know the Medify scores are weird
