Score of 3000+ possible with mock scores of 2800?

My Ucat exam is on the 24th of august and im using medentry. I've been trying to do a mock a day for the las few days and my most recent mocks have been 2800+. Would I be able to get a score of 3000 and above in the time i've got left or is that aiming too high, and what should i be aiming for in each section for a score of 3000+?

Don't worry about getting 3000. Focus on getting as high a score as you can in all sections. Including the SJT.

Having a target isn't helpful. Just go for it, as best you can.

2800 is a good score, well over average. Ideally it will only go up. But don't overdo it, be kind to yourself, burn out is possible.

I ended up getting a lot lower than the mocks i did. I got 2790 Band 2, and it was because of my AR section which was way harder than any of the other mocks on the ucat website and on medentry. The mock i did the day before (mock D on the ucat website) i got 3220 and on mock C i got 3020 which is obviously way off my actual score, which is really disappointing. I would say that the other sections were like usual and the SJT was also usual with a few weird scenarios, but the only thing that tripped me up was AR even though this was defo my strongest section. Defo don't stress about what i'm saying though as I've heard of loads of people who get way better than their mocks so It may have just been my performance on the day or the test I got given. You'll do amazing just try and calm yourself down and breath between the minute gaps to slow down you heart rate. Good luck for the exam!!!

i got 640 on the VR which was normal for me tbh. I found the VR to be like medentry and i'm not gonna lie they seemed pretty short to me but the questions themselves were defo harder than usual. They just weren't as straight forward and you have to infer a lot which was defo hard. But it wasn't too bad tbh.
