If it makes you feel any better, a lot of would-be doctors get less-than ideal scores on the UKCAT. I had mine today and I also messed up on my timing and scored the lowest VR I've ever had (550!) - in mocks and on Medify it was by far my best section. I came out with 640 altogether with my best section being QR (usually my worst!).

The Medic Portal have a post up about where to apply with lower than expected scores:

They also have a post on where to apply with a score between 6-650. Hope this helps and you could also sit the BMAT to open up more unis.
