top 6 in any subject
Hi reubenn, i just saw the 2023 preliminary scores and my score of 2540 which was normally 6th decile would now put me at 5th decile 😣 i got Vr 630, 550,720,640 band 1 so would score 76 (i think i would be contextual as i got the bursary and first in my family to go to uni) would it still be safe applying to HYMS with last year’s cut off being 76? Im so upset!!

the final deciles will be lower than than the prelims, so your score should still be 6th decile

Does anyone know what the post-interview success rate for offers was in the past? Thank you

2022 was 41.5%, but this is likely to be a bit lower than usual due to number of deferrals

HEALTH WARNING! Unless Reubenn05 has some data to support this model then i recommend you ignore. Appreciate it's caveated but unless there's some provenance (reubenn05??) then it's just a guess and shouldn't be relied upon.

i literally said it's an estimate in the post, and there is evidence to back it up as people below the calculated cutoff got rejected, and people who got the cutoff score got interviews :smile:

If it's a guess then i don't think it was advisable to post it.

but it has evidence to back it up, and it generally helps people assess their interview chances...

Apologies reubenn05. Please could you share with the forum the evidence that underpins your model (not just the cut-off).

Hiya, do you think the cutoff of 77 will decrease this coming year, stay the same or increase?

I think that demonstrates my point. There's no evidence to support this. This is just amplifying other peoples guesses. Ignore.

have you even got to the point in the thread where people start receiving interviews

might decrease but only slightly due to gcse grade deflation, or stay the same, as number of band 1s has gone up. wouldn't expect it to increase though

Thanks for your reply, I got 76 points in total. Would that be safe or should I avoid HYMS?

HYMS have confirmed how they have scored each element except contextual and SJT in previous years, and have now clarified the former.
They have not confirmed it is unchanged, but the scoring information they do give is the same as has always been given, so there is no reason to presume it is calculated differently.
People can go through years of past threads and read this for themselves and they can look at how accurate the "best guess" has been at predicting interviews in past years. Or they can rely on those of us that have done this for years, have put in the FOIs, spoken with admissions and with past applicants who have been given information. It is up to people to decide how much weight they wish to attribute to advice given, which is carefully caveated, but that does not make it a guess
