UKCAT satisfactory scores

[felixtheCat09]

To the best of my knowledge, Birmingham and Bristol do not require UKCAT.
According to HYMS’s selection procedure, there are 50 points for personal statement and only 10 points for UKCAT.
(HYMS: how to apply)
UKCAT score only contributes 4% to the total score by the Objective Scoring System of Aberdeen.
(Management of Applications)

Therefore, the above medical schools may be good choices for the applicants who achieve less satisfactory UKCAT scores.

So, what is less satisfactory UKCAT scores?
According to UKCAT’s annual report, the mean score is 2407 and the standard deviation is 259, you can use your statistical tool to estimate that the top 10% candidates score 2740 (average 685)or above.

<600 Less satisfactory

>600 Decent

>650 Good

>700 Excellent

Edit: These aren't official by the way, just my own opinions...

The average coming from this year's poll here on NewMediaMedicine is 659,2775...
So I'll say that...
less than 660 - not very good
around 660 - ok
more than 660 - good

Unfortunately I belong to the first category...

i would personally say the new media medicine poll is not a very accurate representation of the nations UKCAT results, the results are extremely questionable.

[Kinkerz]

Yeah, but this forum doesn't reflect the genuine caliber of applicants.

I bet the average GCSE grades on here are something like 5A*, and A-levels of AAAB.


Plus many people have probably lied! I seriously doubt that 4 people got into the 800s, or has that number gone up now?

id say since the average is around 600, anything above this is is more than satisfactory as it is above average. did mine 2day got average of 637.5 im happy enuf!

Well, NMM's poll is the best thing we have so far, even if it might not be accurate: personally i think it's basically impossible to get more than 800 avg...

According to the NMM poll, seven people have a score greater than 800, six of them having a score greater than 850! Yeah... Right.

why does anybody care anyway?.. it matters what the unis think of your APPLICATION as a whole!.. not what each of us think about everyone else UKCAT score!

Some unis have an UKCAT cutoff... that's why it unfortunately matters...
