Your overall average is 622.5 - some people have gotten a lot lower grades than you so im not sure they will be very happy at you saying you have failed!

Of course you haven't failed of the unis i know of that have UKCAT cut off marks they ask for a total of 2200 (Southampton) so you meet that requirement.

what the hell!!!

those results are amazing. The unis know that all applicants have strengths as well as weaknesses. your overall is above 600 as doc2bee mentioned. you have nothing to worry about.

People get in with scores below 600!
I have a friend who got into Southamton with 585 and I have heard of successful applicants with scores below that.
UKCAT plays a very small role in selection process. you probably have heard that a million times, but it's true.

your A level grades, Work experience and Extra currucular and especially the Interview I believe are way more important than this test.

well it's up to you if you want to moan but it's meaningless.
cheer up and start writing your shocking, mind blowing and breath taking personal statement, lol.

GoooooooD Luck
