Yes, Partners need ABB predicted and to be above whatever the UCAT cut off is for interview

Yes, so I’m guessing they give interviews based on ABB predictions and the ukcat cutoff. Are they selective on whom they give an interview or do they just give to everyone who meets the minimum requirements?

They decide how many they want to interview, let's say 200 and the UCAT cut off is the score of the 200th person, everybody above that is interviewed, everybody below it is rejected

Oh ok so the aim is to get the highest ukcat score as possible. Do you recommend anything special for the ukcat in Terms of revision material, I have mind in a month and I want a technique that works and not waste time spending time on one that works. Thanks for the help btw, really appreciate it.

Everybody will find a technique that works best for them, there is no "one size fits all". Most people feel Medify is the best way to prepare

Yes was considering medify and the 1250 questions book. Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi, Medify for me was the best way to practice because of the large amount of practice tests and the time limits which help imitate the real thing. The format also prepares you for what it would be like in the real test whereas a book can't.

You know the 1250 questions book for the ukcat (Isc) , is it complicated than the actual thing. Because with abstract reasoning I seem to get little to no answers right.

You are better off losing their in the UCAT thread. The general consensus over the years is that the 1250 book is harder than the real exam, yes. Although none of the preparation sites are perfect, people seem to think Medify is closest to the real thing

sorry to disturb you but somethings really concerning me. I don’t need have the best GCSE’s and my a level predictions are most likely going to be ABB, do I have a chance on the partners programme, if I meeting the ukcat threshold? I heard Newcastle don’t look at GCSE’s, is that’s true? And will they accept me with the ABB considering I have met the ukcat threshold? Has there been others with similar cases as me?

Newcastle do not look at GCSEs. If you are accepted on to the PARTNERS scheme then you need ABB predicted and after that selection for interview is just done using UCAT score, which historically has been around the 650 mark for PARTNERS (though there is no guarantee it will be again this year, you are competing against everybody else who applies on PARTNERS). This happens for lots of people every year

If I get predicted ABB and I meet the criteria of the Partners Scheme, would I be disadvantaged of getting on the partners scheme in comparison to those people who have applied with AAB, or will they just focus on my ukcat once Iv got the minimum prediction of ABB?

No, provided you meet the minumum requirements they do not look at academics any further and selection is based in UCAT score

Hi, how much emphasis do Newcastle put on the personal statement? Is it a huge part of the selection process?

The interview invites are based on whether the applicant meets minimum entry requirements, and then UCAT score. Applicants are ranked by UCAT score to be invited to interview. They use MMI, and the interviewers do not have access to your PS or reference before or during the interview. Offers are then made primarily based on interview performance.
^Paraphrased from their admissions policy. So it does not appear that they assess the personal statement
