Thats interesting because the test centre says there are dates available before that date, despite what the website has said.

What test centre are you doing it at? All the ones near me say 'no appts' for any date earlier then July 11th.

So what happens do we have to get a certain amount of marks/percentage to be considered for med school im confused!!

Wat is the mark or percentage if we do??

Thanks xx

Most of the medical schools themselves don't know exactly what they're going to do with the results because its the first year anyone will have take it. They won't have anything to compare results with.

I'm not worrying too much about it, as long as you don't do something completely stupid, like miss out questions or something I think we'll all be fine!

I think maybe from next year onwards there maybe more weighting given to the UKCAT results once they see how the first lot did.

Yes I know as i mentioned above. The website states that tests are not available before July 11th. All i was saying was that dates appeared to be available before that date.

My chosen centre has quite a few dates free at the moment including those before said date. However i have opted to take mine on July 15th.

didnt think i was going to get a hostile response though (yes I know now you'll be going on about how it wasn't a hostile response, or you didn't mean ti to sound like one, but it did seem like it, and it doesn't sound all that beliveable.)

Just did mine......25th July. I kept putting it off along with booking my driving test...they're both in the same week....so i could either have a very good week or a very bad week.

I wish I didnt come on this thread...im getting nervous about both already!
