UKCAT for 2017 Entry to UK

680 should be more than good enough for Kings, not sure about Edinburgh though. Btw Kings don't actually have a strict threshold, it's more of a guide. My friends score was below last year's "threshold" for Kings but still got an interview

Mmm, the main problem i have with the UKCAT is how much it is down to luck. Of course, you can prepare for hours and this will certainly help. But, if you get really unlucky with the questions none of that will matter. You could get a load of easy verbal reasoning questions or a load of harder verbal reasoning questions. You could get a load of simple patterns or you could get 10 impossible to solve patterns. What they should really do is standardise the test so everyone sits the same paper (Although not the same ).

For example, they should produce 4 different papers. There are 4 dates in the summer when you can take the ukcat at their centres (With each day having a different paper). Once all the results are in, they compare what people got on each of the papers and therefore weight them (Similar to UMS). Then we get our grades in around late september. It stops this random RNG as everyone is in the same boat, and even if a paper is harder it is weighted so you will be rewarded for the difficulty.

realistically, what UKCAT score do you need for Edinburgh and Kings (to be competitive?) Love both those unis and hoping will do well in UKCAT but worried I will get like 650-700 not sure if that is high enough

Edinburgh: 720-730

Kings: 690+ (usually)

QR help please

1) The explanation is area LW - (L-2)(W-2)=40
2W+2L=44
I'm not sure how they got (L-2)(W-2) etc.

2) Why is it 22 + 40 + 28 (where does 28 come from?)

There are 1cm at each side so you need to minus 2 from the length and 2 from the width

28 comes from the direct journey back (if you read the table Reading -> Guildford is 28...)

Let me know if you don't understand and I will annotate the table and show you where to get the numbers from

Thank you for replying, could you annotate the table?

Sure! This is my first draft. I'll probably make another one on A3 paper once I've finished doing more questions. Excuse my messy writing. 🙈

Hey can someone please tell me if the calculator stays open when you move from question to question?

Or does it close every time you move to the next question? ( I think that's what the ukcat website said)

Thanks x

Guys, my test is in a week and I don't have a provisional license yet and my passport has expired and thats going to take a few weeks to renew. Has this happened to anyone else? What do I do? I'm really panicking The website says that for students taking the test in the UK (me), they can get a letter from their college. Has anyone does this? I'm not sure this will work. Please help.

Hi guys,
I know this has been asked a lot, but I was wondering how representative the medify question bank for AR is compared to the questions we get in the actual exam. I've seen someone say that medify is easier than the real ones? Is that true?
thank you !
