BMAT percentage? Im at around 5.0,6.0,3A?

Hey i'm in the same boat as you, only 6 days left until the test :eek:

you may already know this but oxford puts section 1 and 2 at 40% weighting each and then scores section 3 at 20% weighting. they use a formula to apply this, and based on the scores you've provided, your weighted BMAT score for oxford would probably be 59.17 out of 100. Given that your GCSE and A-level predicted results are pretty much perfect, you should hold a fairly strong chance of getting shortlisted and even accepted if you manage to bump up your BMAT score by just a few more percent (60 - 70% is very competitive). Make sure to focus on whatever section you're struggling with (for me it's section 1) and keep practising timed past papers for it until you are happy with the scores you're getting. If you follow that advice and try your best to keep calm before test day, I'm sure you will do well enough to get accepted into oxford! best of luck :smile:
