low ucat score

hey, so i just sat the ucat and got 1950 band1, which was really unexpected as my mocks were high. But is it usual for the actual ucat to be a bit harder than medify as I was really shocked with the difficulty of the paper compared to my mocks. I just wanna know if anyone else had a similar experience or if you have any advice

Pretty much the same. My mocks were way higher than the actual score, and I am still in some disbelief (my test was last week). But it is what it is, I suppose. Right now, I am trying to get on by working on my predicted grades, and by looking to apply strategically. All the best for your application!

Broo literally same i was averaging like 800s in my mocks and came out w 1900 B1 i'm so disappointed like i cried for 3 days straight 😭😭😭 I'm fine now i've accepted it is what it is but it was awful seeing those numbers especially after all those months of prep
Vr was god awful i have never done a set so bad like i didnt get any tfcs?? And bro dm logical puzzles were so HARD?? i could do medify ones in less than a minute but these real ones took so long and i got like 10 of them asw bruh
Everyone said the official mocks were really similar so that made me feel hopeful since i did quite well on those but omds they gave me confidence for no reason bc the actual thing was crap
