So I sat my UKCAT yesterday..
Decision Analysis messed me over :O no idea what happened, in the practice tests (UKCAT official ones too) I never got below 800, yesterday I scored 660?! Crazy!
Anyone had a similar experience?

Btw these are my scores, not happy at all for graduate entry :frown:

VR 670
QR 750
AR 760
DA 660
Band 1

I guess I'll have to drop King's College as an option :frown:

Any idea whether it would still be good for Glasgow and Edinburgh undergraduate and GEM Barts and Warwick?

You'll be fine for Edinburgh - they give you a score for your UKCAT quartile (which should be either second or first quartile), and also for your SJT band :smile:

I'm not so sure about Glasgow. From what I hear, they operate a cut-off system. When I applied (2013 entry), I think the cut-off was 2700. I would imagine this year it would be higher, but not as high as last year.

Congratulations on the fab scores :biggrin:

If I may ask, what did you score on the 3 medify mocks?

Thanks, appreciate it!

Also, do you have any advice for SJ? I am always wrong, but by one. For eg I will think its 'important', while the real answer is 'very important'

This always catches me, and probably why im like band 3 :frown:

The struggle is reall..

Medium (left) hard (right). Didn't do easy. Only did VR, QR and AR for each.

I don't really have advice for SJ I'm afraid. I didn't really bother 'revising' it, just did a couple of practices to see what time constraints were like.

I haven't looked into practising much yet but decision analysis looks vile!! My fave is abstract reasoning

If you have any tips for AR, I'd love them! I really just can't seem to get the hang of it.

Hello guys

You know how we have the confidence rating for DA now? Does it matter if I put 5 on everything? Or maybe I should put 3 for the ones Im not too sure about?

Thanks in advance!

I'm about to finish the 600Q book, should I buy the Kaplan one after that or is it not useful?
edit:
Also, can someone post a UKCAT timing guide?

If you want to build up your range of questions then yeah sure. The inly really hard ection is their QR. DA is a bit easier.

It does not matter which confidence rating you use, the universities won't receive it its used by Pearson vue so don't waste timing thinking of a number just pick one. I went on a course and they recommended just picking one number and sticking to it instead of thinking about it. Good luck :smile:

Hi I just did the diagnostic test mock from the Kaplan book and got:

Verbal Reasoning: 570
Quantitative Reasoning : 670
Abstract Reasoning: 750
Decision Analysis: 670
SJT: Band 2

My UKCAT exam is on the 27th of August!

Should I be worried because I really want a score above 700!!
I'm starting to panic now :s-smilie:

I'm applying for Dentistry by the way :smile:

Thanks for the help in advance :smile:

Hello

For those who have actually taken the exam. Well done by the way, I'm jealous. Can you finish the test early e.g. after situational judgement then just leave or do you have to wait the full 27 minutes. *Sigh* I wish the time was transferable.
