just did my UCAT - got a score of 3210 :smile: but an SJT Band 3 :frown: - which dental schools don’t really care about the SJT band? Thanks

Hi well done for your score!
Which sections did you find harder and did you find medify Q to be representative of the actual exam?
I would say to avoid manchester, liverpool, sheffield and cardiff they look at the band.
You have a good chance for newcastle, bristol, birmingham and maybe london unis.

medify on the whole was representative in all sections, maybe not so much in VR (some different passage lengths and slightly different question styles) . Personally for me the SJT was the hardest one i’d ever seen (i was getting band 2 and some 1s in mocks) but that’s not to say that will be representative for everyone. I found the official UCAT resources (mocks A-D and the question banks) more representative for the SJT

Thank you so much for your reply! :smile:
For SJT did you find the Q style new compared to the ones on medify or they were just difficult scenarios?
Also, did you find the AR and QR easier than medify?

i think difficult scenarios - on medify i found quite a few of the questions were easy to put under the Very Important/Appropriate or Not important/Appropriate at all, but in my exam a lot of the statements were almost a bit vague so difficult to classify if that makes sense.

In regards to QR and AR, i was always very good at QR, and AR really depends on the person - different people are able to spot different patterns but on the whole they were both of about the same difficulty across medify and the exam

Hi,
I'm wondering what schools to apply to. These are my stats and I'm in Year 12
GCSEs : 999999887
UCAT : 2770 B2
A Level Predictions : Haven't received yet but I think about A*AA

One problem is that I haven't got much work experience (only 3 days in a dental practice) but I have been volunteering in hospital wards for ~ 6 months

Thanks :smile:
