Graduate medicine entry: Did my UKCAT today. Need some advice

Hey... so I need some advice

I'm a 2nd year biomedical science student at plymouth on a 2:1 at the moment.
Did my ukcat today (my first time ever) and I've not done the best. 560, 640, 620, 660. Band 2

I don't know where I stand. Should I just not apply for med?
What unis would still concider me?

Is there graduate entry medical schools that don't require an entrance exam?

Any help would be great thanks.
I got a low-ish score for 2014 entry, but decided to apply anyway. I didn't get anywhere as that was a year everyone else did really well on the UKCAT!
It's difficult to assess without seeing how everyone else taking the test has done, but your average is definitely on the low side and the universities that use it tend to do so quite stringently.

The GAMSAT can be sat in September, and you can register until the end of July. It is expensive and from what I've heard takes a lot of work.
There's also the BMAT which Oxford use.
I think Bristol don't ask for entrance exams, but they want AAB at A-Level.
