UKCAT in UCAS

I understand that we have to put the ukcat under 'education' as a 'qualification' as an 'admission test'..but for the score, do you enter the average score or the total score you get from all four subtests?? Any information is kindly appreciated!

hmmm are you sure?? cause if i enter the ukcat as an 'admission test', they will require me to enter the 'grade' which i would presume would be the total score of your ukcat, no? or do you mean leaving the ukcat completely out of your application??

Scores for all subtests in UCAS?

I think I put the total in. I would definately put something in and not rely on those pearson vue folk. I also put the score for all the subtests in. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not...any input? I've not sent it yet. None of my subtests were below 600 so I didnt think there would be any harm putting all the scores in... Im a bit or a thorough person, thats the problem!

I did that too. I don't trust Pearson. Plus since I have the option, why not?

That was my opinion too.

However, I didnt enter all my modules for my school grades. Only the name of the course and grade. I was going to but since I finished school in 2002 some of the codes and unit titles have changed (so the odes I match dont match those in the drop down menus) so it was getting way to fiddley! I phoned ucas about it and they were like "I see what you mean about the codes....I dont think it matters if you have them in or not" so I didn't bother :>

I didn't bother with that....because I could barely remember them (and I graduated in 2007. Lol)

But I filled out my UKCAT module grades, especially since I did really well in the first two sections (670 and 770 respectively).
