UKCAT 2014 Entry -- Scores Poll

Hey everyone, I thought about making a thread about this but then realised this Q has prob been asked before so please link me if it has! I took the UKCAT today and did well in all sections but VR - I ended up with a 590 which is probably below average if the average is around 600. Do you know of any universities that take into account individual subset scores rather than just the average? I know one - Imperial GEM. Any others? Thank you :smile:

I think Nottingham rank per section for UG. Are you a graduate applicant?

I am indeed.

I was originally set on applying to 5 year UG courses only just because I thought I'd bomb the UKCAT big time (bomb = in a bad way kind of bombing), but ended up doing quite well so now I'm not sure what I'll do! I'll look into Notts and if you are right, I'll make a note to avoid applying there. Thank you :smile:

Just got back from mine:
VR 760
QR 840
AR 690
DA 870
So average of 790 exactly.
Overall happy, but had a bit of a flap with the AR, the first couple of sets seemed to be two of the trickiest.

It's been a really good day for the UKCAT! People all scoring above 750...

Yeah, I know. A part of me thinks I'll get an email tomorrow telling me there's been a massive mistake and all UKCAT results from 29th of August must be downgraded by 200. Because then, my score would make more sense. *so confused*

Nah I'm sure you'll be fine. As a grad, I shouldn't tell you this, but you're essentially guaranteed an interview at Kings A102, Barts A101, Southampton A101 and Newcastle A101 if you choose to apply :smile:

No point doing an expensive 5-year. You'll probably cost me an interview with my puny 740 :P

It's honestly crazy how 800+ is the modal category this year!!! I thought I'd done really well and now it seems like at least 25% of people have done better :L I swear usually only around 2-3% of people get 800+?!?!

Im worried about this too but I think most of them are not being truthful or only the best people are voting. I will be honest last year I did bad in the UKCAT and never touched a poll, this year I did better so I voted :colondollar:

It's because people are hammering AR and DA this year. VR and QR have always been tough but they're offsetting it with amazing AR/DA scores. It means if you can somehow scrape high 600s or low 700s on the first two sections you're almost guaranteed a 780+ score. Frustrating that they can't just keep the test difficulty similar over the years.

Your 740 is really good! I'd be hopping up and down if I get that score.
P.S I am non-EU so we won't be in the same applicant pool!

Firstly, I'd like to say that the 800+ category is probably people messing with our stats for the 'lols'.

However, I would like to share my score from the test I took today.

VR: 690
QR: 900
AR: 900
DA: 860
SJT: Band 1

I'm over the moon, to say the least! Now, for the BMAT...
