UCAT - first timed attempts

for the first one, Verbal Reasoning 27 Decision Making 26 Quantitative Reasoning 22 Situational Judgement 36
and the second, Verbal Reasoning 29 Decision Making 25
Quantitative Reasoning 29 Situational Judgement 36

The ucat score converter I used online said that these equate to 2030 (2740) and 2200 (2960) but I’ve heard they overinflate the scores, is there a more accurate way to find out my score from the raws?

Thanks

Honestly I don't know if there are going to be any accurate online score converters especially bc this is the first year where AR has been removed. What I would do is I would work out what percentage I got and compare that to if it was out of 3600. E.g. let's say I got 750 on all 3 sections and my total score was 2250 out of 2700. The score in the example would give about 83%. 83% of 3600 is about 3000 out of 3600. Then you can determine whether it's close to the score you would like to get or not. Hope that helps

thankyou that does make sense, i’m also worried that the converter from raw marks to the scaled score is also inflated, i’ve been using this one https://myucat.co.uk/pages/ucat-score-converter?srsltid=AfmBOoqEtzCMsQRWwOwrHpfiJhrC32Oa9iGVqinyiVNf2vqY22eagAjK

Honestly I don't see anything wrong with it. My advice would be to use a range of UCAT score converters. Some may be harsh and others may inflate the scaled score but at least you have a range. If we use the example stats in the previous message, you can determine that one score would be the most likely one, the inflated one is the absolute highest that you can get with those stats and the harsh one is the absolute lowest that you could have gotten with the stats. Hopefully that helped.
