i had three As at a lvl and 5 A's at GCSEs

tbh i think it's all speculation. all universities have different policies regarding the UKCAT and to suggest that they're going to raise their standards altogether just doesnt seem right to me.

here's what i would do.

I would pick the unis i want to study at, based on course structure, location, recommendation or any other reason. Then see if you are over their cut off point. and if there isnt a limit, just apply.

seriously, I dont think youd have a problem. Your PS and reference are WAY more important than the test. and that's fact.

But if it really makes you worried then apply to Bris and Liv. they're both good unis.

which unis are notorious? ummm I honestly dont remember but I THINK nottingham put a bit more emphasis on it than others, i may be wrong.

for ins at HYMS it only accounts for 10% of your application score while PS and Ref are 20% each. and the interview's the biggest factor at 30% or 40%


I only got a score of 601 (average) and i didnt even think about it.
