UKCAT for 2017 Entry to UK

Original post by NuclearFallout

Can I ask if unis look at one section over the others more or less? I'm pleased with my verbal and quant but slightly worried about my abstract (630) so I'm hoping they care about it the least. Thank you

Some unis have certain cut off points for each section in which you have to meet the requirements for you to be able to move onto the next stage, others don't really mind unless you do really badly in one section, but most look at your average score or your scores added up together and ranked into deciles :smile:

Thanks man, do you know by any chance if my 630 in abstract rules me out of any unis? My average overall is good thank God

Hey,

just wondering what do you guys find to be the best technique for verbal reasoning? I'm finding it soooo hard to answer the questions within the time limit :'(((

hey, does anyone know if the interim UKCAT 2016 results/averages/deciles have been released yet? :smile:

I've found the deciles and averages for the past 5 years if you're wondering and wanted to compare your results?

Hi guys, i just did the "Medify Mock 2" and i got: VR:600 QR:730 AR:600 Average: 643
How representative is the modify mock 2 to the real exam and what scores did u guys get when sitting the "medify mock 2"

I'd say it's roughly similar to the actual exam, but the actual is way more easier and you do get to finish all the questions. You will definitely get a higher score in the real exam than in the medify mock.

My mock was really bad aha,

I used UKCAT Ninja, Medify and the Offical UKCAT practice questions and tests.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask!

Good luck to everyone :smile:

Guys my ukcat was on 15th September but I'm considering moving it back another week to the 22nd? Is this a good idea or not it's just I have work, and college starting on the 12th so 😭😭 I'm getting stressed about getting all the mocks done and stuff

I'd say not to push it back, only because you're just going to stress yourself out so much (like I did), how much revision have you done? I think if you've done roughly 2 weeks revision or 30 ish hours then you're fine to complete the exam. As for work wise, could you take time off work? And college, well I came back to school on the 5th and my exam was on the 8th, but even though I was given loads of work to do I ignored it until I completed the exam and then played the "catch up game" :smile:
