UKCAT RESULTS (2007 takers)

[Anitaisdabest]

Hey!
I started a new thread for this years UKCAT exam takers , jst so that we could compare our results.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've jst taken mine bt have NO idea if its good enough for Barts. I got 900 (full marks ) for the one section but for the another I got below average where I got 450 !!!

I don't know whether Barts will be put off by my 450 score, or will they appreciate my 900/900 mark??

Verbal R. : 450
Quantita : 650
Abstract : 900
Decision : 680

(Average is 670 )

Are there any Barts medical students frm last yr who gt their UKCAT results?? and gt in?? Its jst that I've heard that Barts filters off the top 800 candidates according to their UKCAT score....bt how do they use them? do they use the average or use the highest marks?? Any views?? THANKS!!

I went to the Barts open day recently and the UKCAT was talked about a lot. They said it is very important to them, but they only talked about the overall score rather than the average score, or those for individual sections. Ie 2400 is the cut off, then once they've interviewed that lot they will look at people with 2350 to 2400 overall.

Hope this helps.

Ok that means that my total is 2680. Thank u so much George!! This information really helps!!

Bear in mind though that that was last year, and the cut-off was based on looking at the scores of all the applicants. If the scores of applicants this year are higher then the cut-off will also be higher (and with this being the second year and there being more information available about the test, the scores may well be higher). But don't worry - with 2680 I'm sure you'll be fine

Thanks arienette. I did some research and the cut-off point is 2400 (George u were right).

Had my UKCAT this morning. I was certainly bricking it regarding the AR as this was where I fell down all over the place (but not as badly as in the real thing today!) when I initially did the UKCAT website practice test. I thought the UKCAT book was of some use until I came to do todays test too, what a waste of time . Oh and of course it didn't mention the 5th section whatsoever either so that was a nice surprise when my bladder was about to explode following the DA.

Oh well!

VR: 700
QR: 690
AR: 590 (!)
DA:710

2690/672

Pretty pleased overall, though I still feel I could have done better on the AR if I hadn't rushed my first look through. Ah well, roll on October 15th!

I did mine this morning too, glad its over now I got 780/720/720/660 (total 2880, average 720) Those stupid codes let me down a bit but I'm really happy, I didnt know what marks to expect at all. I can't believe you managed to get full marks anita, that's amazing! Anyhow, good luck to anyone who hasn't done it yet xxx

I did my ukcat test today and i got a very poor result,this is not likely to get me into a medical school.so I would like to know if one can resit the test.
VR:540
QR:500
AR:330
DA:480

Off the UKCAT website:

'Can I re-sit the UKCAT if I think I did badly?
No. You may only sit the UKCAT once each year. If you try to sit it twice in the same test window (i.e. 18 June 2007 to 10 October 2007), the later sitting will be automatically invalidated and the later result will be void.

To have another go at the UKCAT, you would have to re-apply to university in the next admissions year.'

Sorry!
