Band 3 (almost a goner)

QR was much more simple than on medify mocks & DM had quite a few yes/no questions, two of which i skipped bcus of time ;-;;

Are those all the resources you used? medify and ucat official? thanks

Well done on your score! Do you mind me asking where you plan on applying to? Thanks

considering how average my score is, probably liverpool, birmingham, bristol etc

are u taking exams in the autumn time then with your application or summer time 2021.

Also how did it feel preparing for the second time, did you feel you got much better and how long did you prepare for?

Just did my test today in a centre, scored:
VR 820
DM 710 (was kinda annoyed about that, but my pen ran out pretty early on in the section and I had to get a new one - check your pens!!)
QR: 870
AR: 900
Band 1

wow!! well done! these scores are amazing!!! can i ask, do you have any tips on QR? I'm struggling with the timings :/

Hi there, thanks very much! QR, my main tip is triaging tricky questions or ones that are just gonna take to long. For example, in my test there were a couple of questions that would have taken aaages like calculating two big averages and then finding a percentage change etc. Those questions just aren't worth your time, guess, flag and move on. Likely the next question will just be mental maths or a single calculation and worth the exact same so don't waste your time! Also, get as good as you can at using the calculator with your numpad, and using the whiteboard to make notes of things to remember as you go through a question that maybe requires a couple of calculations. Honestly, you'll improve with practice, and the test is definitely easier than the mocks on medify or the UCAT website

Hey guys,

So I’ve just finished my UCAT.

Did okay but I’m quite worried about my SJT score:

Got:

VR: 700
DM: 720
QR: 710
AR: 720
SJT: Band 3 (yikes)

Thoughts:
VR: I found VR pretty standard, comparable to the online official mocks. Texts were slightly longer but I didn’t find it too bad as VR is always one of my best sections.
DM: again, kinda similar to the practice materials and medify but slightly harder imo. Some questions were a bit weird and I didn’t get any interpreting graphs.
QR: thought it was fine, must’ve made some silly mistakes
AR: HARD. So many patterns I was like wtf? Too much going on.

SJT: honestly found this really difficult and spent ages going back and forth between answers which I guess led to me messing up. Usually scored Band 1/2 so I don’t know what happened here. Quite sad ):

I’m a grad hoping to apply to a mixture of A100 and A101 programmes, mainly the London unis. Does anyone know if King’s and Barts (either grad or undergrad) will accept a Band 3? Any help will be much appreciated.

hey, congrats on the score! it's perfectly understandable that you're bummed out about the band 3 but your average looks great and you should be proud of yourself!! for undergrad, king's won't not accept a band 3, but it isn't given any extra weighting - while band 2 is, and band 1 is given double the weighting of a band 2. that's all i know!
again, congratulations! it must feel like such a relief that it's finally over

Just completed my UCAT about 20mins ago
VR: 530
DM: 700
QR: 690
AR: 670
Band 2

All better than my medify mock scores except VR which was 650-750 in medify mocks.
Edit: VR UCAT was horrible. Long and complex texts with complex and similar options. *imo*
