UKCAT for 2017 Entry to UK

can anyone provide an example of a way to show empathy in a personal statement or at least mention it?

I just sat my ukcat yesterday and got

VR: 530
QR: 750
AR: 750
SJ: Band one.

I'm taking a gap year and from Ireland. My leaving cert went well I got 2A1's 3A2's (including biology, chemistry) and 2B's, and my personal statement is pretty good.
Is that a good ukcat score? Where should I apply?

For mine I used my hospital volunteering. I helped to calm down a dementia patient who was confused about her surroundings and why she was in the hospital, by just talking to her and offering comfort basically. She was going through a rough patch with her dementia that day and I just talked in my PS about me trying to understand how lonely she must have felt, hence why I sat down with her so long and offered her a hot drink etc. My example is nothing major but it is still something. Hope that helps a bit!

Sweet I'm gonna use that in my PS now

Also if you have a retail job etc then you could easily use a customer as an example too.

For St. Georges they want a GCSE point of 416 .... I have 398
I have been predicted AAA and I got above 500 in each of my UKCAT sections like they said on their website..
Would i not get an offer??

When are the deciles released?

Cheers, I'll update tomorrow.

Are you on a gap year now then?



Well more people means lower average as not everyone scores highly.

People don't actually do worse (although some could do if you're stressing about BMAT/GAMSAT/UCAS on top of UKCAT).. it's just a bigger population compared to 10,000 doing it prelim so scores have a wider range and the mean tends to be lower.





Why are you both not considering 6-year foundation courses? I don't know much about them but I'm sure some med schools have ones for people from non-science backgrounds? Not considering GAMSAT either?


Newcastle.

Does anyone know what the bottom 20% nationally is in terms of ukcat score? Like what's the score you have to have?*

Good luck for tomorrow everyone!
Whilst most will be screaming in joy, others (like me) will be crying our eyes out

So excited to see the results tomorrow!! Hoping that the averages go down :-)
