I'd recommend leaving atleast one of them till thursday because the official ukcat ones don't give you scores and you can do them multiple times whereas the medify ones you can't!
Good luck for yours on friday!
Mines tomorrow :{}
Guys I'm applying for the foundation medicine course and interested Keele, UEA, Manchester, Liverpool do you know if they still look at the UKCAT same as for those applying for the normal 5 year course ?

P.S Anyone booked their open days yet ??

Yes will do that . Good luck with yours too and let me know how you get on :smile:
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but do the official ukcat ones tell you how many you got right/wrong? And they just won't tell you a ukcat score?

Did my UKCAT last week...
Average of 710 and Sit Judge Band 3 :s-smilie:
Where does my average stand and will the band 3 hinder my application? Hoping to study medicine! Which Unis should I apply to and any to avoid?
GCSEs 10 A*s 3 A's
AS Level AAAA

Your average is very good! Congratulations!

You should be able to apply to pretty much any university that uses the UKCAT, as long as averages are similar to usual, just avoid the universities that really care about SJT Band, such as Edinburgh.

They tell you what is right and wrong but you don't receive an actual score. That's for you to calculate on your own!

Thank You very much for the reassurance it means a lot! I'm hoping that Newcastle cut off will be lower than my average as I really like the uni and am considering applying there.

Your average has been higher than the cut off every year (except for the year when DM had heavily inflated scores, but that's hopefully irrelevant), so you should be fine for Newcastle :smile:

If you're really worried, wait until the final statistics for the UKCAT come out in early October to make final decisions :smile:
So glad i got my ukcat done today, just dunno where to go from here!😂
Just did my ukcat:
VR: 590
QR: 670
AR: 600
STJ: Band 1

total: 1860
avg: 620

Hoping to study medicine... Which Unis should I apply to and any to avoid? Any recommendations/advice will be much appreciated! :smile:
GCSEs 8 A*s 4 A's
AS Level: Maths: A ----> will be predicted A
Bio: A ----> will be predicted A
Chem: B -----> hopefully will be predicted A
Physics: B ----> (dropping this and taking an EPQ instead)

People who have already done the test please tell me the formula that you think will be helpful to remember , thanks!p.s if you can include what kind of topics ie. percentages or averages that you found came up most so I know what to focus on. My exam is tomorrow!
