Just completed my UCAT about 20mins ago
VR: 530
DM: 700
QR: 690

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*

I don't think you get your test scores so quickly if you did it at home?

Apparently it's within a day but someone yesterday got theirs within 5 mins. Guessing it's because there's no backlog yet.

I heard it's within 24 hours so it might depend how many people are currently doing theirs

Either check my comment history via my profile or check out the official UKCAT 2021 mega thread I posted my medify mock results somewhere around page 313-316. If you still can’t find it let me know and I’ll dig it up for you 👍🏻

thanks thats really helpful. im not looking forward to some of the DM questions, were there a lot of questions which you have to say yes/no to(if u know what type of question im referring to)?
also i was wondering how long do u get inbetween each section? is it just 1 minute or do u get more time? im not really too sure how it works.

diagrams. The yes/no are best solved when you read the statement and then try and prove/disprove it. If it’s quite complex then draw a “family tree” style diagram; for eg. All c are p but not all r are g = P>all c , G>some r. (Hard to display here) but if you follow it linearly you can visualise it much easier, Venn diagrams are cool but need a lot of reverse engineering; you don’t know how many bubbles you’ll need and where they should overlap. You can’t erase the boards either so stick with linear.

Logical puzzles, if people are sat in a circle then draw boxes equally spaced, fill them in as necessary. If the info is vague and says “sally and Jemma are next to a boy” and there are 2 boys at the 6 person table then put S/J next to the possible spaces and cross them out as you learn more constraints.

Anything else just DM me :smile:
