You will all be fine! Speaking from experience the BMAT for Cambridge is a relatively small factor in the admissions process, I'm now a fresher here with 4.9 5.4 3A and there's people at my college with much lower including even someone with a 1C in their essay!

I just want a score so I can have a chance at the interview! What do you think is the absolutely bare minimum ? I would put it at 4.4, 4.9 and 2.5B but i have no idea! At this point I am just aiming for a slightly above average score.

I think if we all aim for 5.2, 5.5, 3A as a minimum all should be ok hopefully, and any higher is just a bonus

I'm at Emmanuel :smile:

I wouldn't say there is an absolute bare minimum, obviously do the best you can but at the end of the day it's unlikely to make or break your application either way, the people who make the decisions on admissions are very human and can see through one bad result in the light of other, better results!

Good luck!

How did the BMAT go? I thought section 2 was so much harder than past papers.

Looking at last year's applicant data, the usual value was something around 5-5.5. This year might be the same thing, give or take a few points
