Hmmm ok from what I remember being told on this thread a while ago, kings score GCSEs the follow
40% weighting,
7A*s = 40
6A*s = 30
5A*s = 20
4A*s = 10
<4A*s = 0

SJT - 5% weighting
Band 1 - 5%, Band 2 - 2.5%

UCAT score - 45% weighting
I’m assuming it’s done via deciles with 9th decile scoring 45/45 and each decile dropping 5 points.
Kings could very well have their own decile scoring system which could be higher than the UCAT deciles (hull York has a system like that from what I remember)

Contextual data - 10%

(This is all rough estimates)

I assume you need 50%+ to be fine
as people have got in with a UCAT of 2400+ which would be around 4th decile so 20/45 and would probs have had solid GCSEs.
I’m also aware if you have no A*s at GCSES, based off previous years, you would need a 700+ to secure an interview. So that would imply to me that then those people with no A*s at GCSEs must’ve scored the full 50/50 in the UCAt to secure an interview.

its hard to give proper advice with a theoretical ucat score, i would say wait until you have your actual score

GCSEs: 9999888888
A level predicted : A*A*A*
UCAT 2800 band 2
Relevant work experience and extracurriculars, do you think I have a chance at getting an interview?

If it was last year you’d just about get an interview in the last batch.

Do you know what the minimum score was for last year? I understand they score 40% GCSEs (max 8xA*) and 50% from UCAT (of which 10% is for SJT - Band 1: 10%, Band 2: 5%). + WP allowances.

I was an offer holder in 2021 cycle but I missed my grades by getting BBC (long story) so I’m resitting my a levels June 2022. I got 690 B2 last year and I’m redoing ucat in a few weeks.

let’s see what happens I guess

Hi guys,
Just did my ucat today and idk if its enough for King's

GCSEs - nine 9s and one 8, plus distinction in further maths (WJEC)
A-Levels - pred A* A* A
UCAT - 2810 band 2
Done 6 months virtual work experience

I did my UCAT today too and got 2630 band 3.
I’ve got 10 9/8s at GCSE.

I’m not sure if my UCAT is high enough. Am I right?

Were your gcses all A*s?

9999888776A*A*A* GCSEs,
3A* achieved in a levels
ucat - 2650 band 2
VR - 540
DM- 630
QR - 800
AR - 680

Contextual according to the kings wesbite
is it still risky to apply for kings because of my ucat?

Hi - home student, scored 3000 B3 and am interested in applying to Kings (KCL) I have full points for GCSES (all A* or 8). Based on KCL scoring system (if same as last year) this totals 130pts (I've no points for SJT and none for WP).
Others have said they got an interview last year with 2790 B3 & full points for GCSEs, and think they were part of the last batch invited to interview, which I calculated as roughly 120pts as it would've been 8th decile.
I know the cut-off may not be 120pts this year but with a 10point cushion (as I have 130pts) do you think this will be enough?
