UKCAT for 2017 Entry to UK

Thanks ASTK. Might be worth mentioning im applying for graduate entry. Do you know if this will make a difference?

760 is a very good score, well done. I'm not sure why people who get above 700 as an average worry about their score - I've known friends who've got offers from medical school with scores varying between 630-680. Yes, someone actually got into med school with 630 as an average. So don't stress it, your score is great.

Hello everyone,

I'm currently exactly a week away from taking my UKCAT but I've run into a bit of a wall in terms of my practice. I've exhausted all the official practice questions as well as the 600 questions book I borrowed from my library (I know its out of date but I couldnt afford to buy the newer version. I dont know what else to do since I'm still terrible at most sections so desperate atm.

I wanted to know if anyone had a few spare days left on their Medify account after they've taken their test and would be willing to let me use it. I know this is pretty shady but Im desperate and my parents arent willing to spend more money on this test than what it cost to register.

If all else fails, any more recommendations of free practice questions (especially AR and QR) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hey guys, just got done with my UKCAT with an average of 760 but only Band 2 in SJT. Will this disadvantage my application or restrict any uni choices?

If you're interested, I got 700, 830, and 750 in Verbal, Quantitative and Abstract reasoning.

Hey guys so I just did my ukcat and got:
VR 580
QR 890
AR 680
SJT Band 1

Throughout all my practice I was averaging below mid 650 (even averaged 570 once lol). For those with upcoming tests fret not, the actual test is so much easier than the practice mocks. Just make sure you go in feeling confident!

How do you convert the UKCAT official mock paper scores into the scaled scores?

Hey everyone, averaged 640 with Band 2 in SJT on UKCAT today
VR: 650
Q: 680
AR: 590 (well excuse you)

Any help on where to apply with this low score? KCL and QM deff outta the window D:

Also does anyone know where places like Manchester, Barts, Bristol and Birmingham stand on UKCAT heaviness (i.e cut-offs for interview places)

Any help is much appreciated

Okay thanks! Just to check it would be like doing for verbal reasoning:
30/44 * 600+ 300 = 709?

Well, despite all my worries, having done the test today I am very pleased with my result:
TOTAL: 2110 703.33 Average- Band 2
VR-740
QR-720
AR-650
Could anyone give me any advice for good unis to apply to in 2017? Could I still apply to Manchester and Glasgow???

I would say that I definitely found medify mocks and official UKCAT mocks more difficult than the real thing. Provided you have practiced it should be fine. The thing I cannot stress enough is FLAG, GUESS, MOVE ON. Getting bogged down in the first few questions of a section only leads downhill. If you run into a challenging question, guess and flag it for the end.

Wow well done! Is the VR just as hard as everyone is saying? And how similar is the modify AR to the actual AR?

Hi, I'm applying for grad entry too. You will most likely want to avoid Kings, Southampton, and NCL. Your VR subsection score is probably too low for the Warwick cut off. Barts may be possible depending on your academics. Are you taking GAMSAT or BMAT?

Well done!!! I don't think kings do that much it's is more Edinburgh. How did you score so highly in QR? Everyone seems to be getting 800+ but in all my mocks I've done been getting 650-750 like how

Oh right, why do you think I should avoid those 3? Yeah don't think I'll be going for Warwick now. Not taking GAMSAT/BMAT, hence I was considering Kings etc. How are you getting on with your application?
