Yeah! It's going pretty well actually. Although today I got so angry with myself because there was one sentence which I couldn't get perfect, so I'm going to have a fresh look at it tomorrow. Characters are fine, I was quite brutal from the start with what was going in and what wasn't. How's yours?


Mines actually gone perfectly, Finished it for a while now, so just getting it checked over by loads of people and and 1 or 2 Leeds medical students which helped alot.

Hi

Anyone got their UKCAT results for 2013 yet?

Can we keep a record them on here so we know where we stand

Cheers

Rosie
PS I got 622 disappointede


Don't be too disappointed, that score is still good enough for plenty of universities, plus there are ones that don't use it at all, and some that use the BMAT instead. As Harry pointed out, there's a thread for this already, but there are some trolls on the poll (hehe, rhyming), so don't be too scared by the amount of top scores. (Do, however, be scared of Natalie's ridiculous talent at everything medicine-related :wink:) I sat mine today and got 712.5, which I was chuffed with. But like I said, there are plenty of places where your result is just fine! :smile: Chin up

Don't be disappointed, there are basically three options for the UKCAT

Under 600 (Cant really apply anywhere much)
600-670ish (Apply to almost everywhere, most people)
670ish+ (apply to UKCAT crazy unis like Kings and Newcastle)

I'm pretty much in the middle with you so dont worry:smile:

What did you get? (if you don't mind me asking :smile:)
I managed 648.5, which on TSR is absolutely shocking.

Anyone considering applying to two BMAT universities? I know it's a gamble but I really like the look of both Cambridge and UCL.


Me :smile: I want to apply to both Imperial and UCL.

I really want to, but if the BMAT goes badly then I have wasted half of my choices, which scares me. I'll do some BMAT practice and see if it's manageable.

Imperial requires high bmat entrance scores so it is somewhat a bigger risk, where as UCL you can make up for other areas i.e gcses or as levels or PS/reference :holmes: And cambridge you need high UMS but the bmat scoring isn't very clear :dontknow: Just helping!

UCL say on their website that those with a below average BMAT are unlikely to gain an offer, so although they have no cut off, it is still important

Yes fair enough but if you do meet that cut off which i think will be lower than imperial's then they will look at other things as well.

True, UCL do tend to look more at other stuff so that probably would "pull up" your overall application if you didn't nail the BMAT.

I'm really glad. Seriously, before my test today I just made sure I thought about how the UKCAT wasn't the be all and end all, and I realised that while a good score DOES help, an 'average' score (which I wouldn't even class yours as - yours is above average) doesn't necessarily hinder. If you're stuck for what unis to research, some unis you might want to look at are: Birmingham, Lancaster, Liverpool, Bristol, Oxbridge, UCL, Imperial, BSMS, UEA and a few more that don't quite jump to mind atm. OH, and Sheffield, who only want above 600, apparently :smile: And thank you!
