So my ukcat is officially done with and I couldn't be more relieved. I got VR- 590 (lmao) QR-780 AR- 630 SJT- band 1!!!!! Average: 667. Thank you so much to everyone on this thread, I am so grateful for all the help and well wishes everyone gave me 😘😋 Advice: VR: don't underestimate this section I ran out of time as questions were honestly so hard, I got quite a few true or false can't tell though but wouldn't say they helped much. QR: so much easier than any mock I'd done, some questions were so simple I wondered if it was correct what I was doing but some were still difficult which I just flagged and guessed. AR- found this hard as there were lots of partial patterns compared to simple ones, I'd say I got about 45 set A. I was never that good at AR and I had to guess about ten shapes lol. Good luck to anyone who still has to take their test! After VR even though it was hard, I calmed down massively as I got so focused in the test It distracted me from how I was feeling. Use the DM section to make notes ready for QR and AR. As you can see I only got a band 1 once in my mocks and in the real exam I finished 8 mins early for SJT as I thought I know I won't get a band 1 but anything above a band 4 is okay (I also knew I would start doubting my answers so I finished early which id advise everyone to do for SJT but I got a band 1 can't believe it!! SJT was alright but there were a lot of passages to read compared to the ones in my mocks. These were my mock scores. I hope it helps someone.

hey could anyone help me decide what unis to go for with 650 avg, and Band 2, I was previously thinking Sheffield, Exeter and Southampton but they all rank on ukcat :/ thanks
Average 650. Decent but nothing groundbreaking really. In terms of the exam itself, yes VR is extremely difficult. I didn't find the passages too long but some of the questions were odd.
QR was as people say, easier than mock exams but not as much as I anticipated - maybe I just drew harder questions though, who knows.
AR was easier than it is on Medify to say the least, I think a pattern from a mock on the UKCAT website came up so do make sure to do all the questions on there.
Nothing else left to say really, I'm glad it's finally over and good luck to everyone else taking the exam!
OMG, I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU😁, well done, i'm sure you're glad thats it done now😊
Thank you so much! I am beyond relieved, I bought a bath bomb from lush to use tonight lmao 👯🦄 got chemistry and bio homework to do for tomorrow tho so can't relax for too long🙄🙄

I got 713 and band 1 but I'm a gap year applicant and only got an A and 2 B's in s6 which is defo gonna drag me down
Don't worry. You have a very god UKCAT score and since you are gap year I am assuming you will have **** load of extra stuff. You are sorted. Good luck. Where are you applying btw

Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee and at Andrews. My dream is Edinburgh but think that's a bit too unrealistic but hopefully in with a shot for the others, you?
