How does universities know about UKCAT score ?

[Martigan]

Anyone who hasn't gone back and put thier UCAS number on thier Pearson Vue/UKCAT profile, as they have been advised...

Ah sorry! Really confused today.

[mimsypoo]

so let me get this straight
if i've put my result down on ucas and on my pearson vue profile im all done?

[BEULA24]

Are people puttin their average score on the UCAS form or the total score?

[space_fra]

Wait. Do we have to add the score to the UCAS application? I thought it was enough to link the application number on the Pearson view account. Let me know pls

Ok this is very confusing. Last year I just put my UCAS ID on the UKCAT website and I'm sure the unis got them. I did put it on my qualifications as well but I'm not sure if that's a requirement!

[alza92]

Arghh I didn't have a UCAS ID at the time of the test either so now I'm panicking over what to do..

I didnt have a UCAS ID at the time either and i've just added it. i think it'll be ok but i havent actually sent of my ucas form yet. Have u? what are u going to do?

[lexipower]

Oh crap i thought the unis just somehow magically got your ukcat score!

I am aghast at what I am reading.
I glanced over my daughter's shoulder while she was filling in her UCAS form. It clearly asked for the UKCAT mean score along with other exam results.
To register with Pearson for UKCAT she submitted her UCAS number. It all ties up automatically.

I ascertained all this at a glance and I'm not directly involved. Surely you can work out how to fill in a form or you have no business applying to become a doctor - or, indeed, applying anywhere at all.

yes mazie i agree u r rite it does ask for ur ukcat score but only if u "ask ucas to ask u"....i mean only if u look up ukcat in the qualifications section. however when u fill in ur uni choices it only says that this uni requires UKCAT, maybe this is what u saw. no where is it ever clarified how or where to add ur ukcat score. And to register for pearson u can only put ur UCAS number in if u have it at the moment which most of us "17" year olds dont becus we tend to be overly excited (atleast i was) and sat the test in summer, when my school hadn't even registered me for ucas, so i had no ID.

But, i think its all clear now guys, just put ur ucas ID in pearson and UCAS form too.
