Fatima- how did your UKCAT go if you don't mind me asking? How did you find the test compared to the practice/any previous one's you've undertaken?
Hope it went well for you!

Mine is tomorrow -- I'll update you all then assuming it's not too shameful :P

Hey, I did mine last Friday and got 697.5 (640,800,670,680). I think that this score is ok for all ukcat taking programs except Kings, Newcastle and Imperial. I'm not sure about imperial though, does anyone know anything concrete about their ukcat requirements?

I think imperial needs a minimum of 650 in each section.

I thought last year it was 640 minimum. It would still be an unnecessary gamble for me though I suppose, especially as imperial is an ultra competitive program.

I keep referring back to my cousin whom went for GEP dentistry but it's the closest personal experience I have to someone sitting the UKCAT. She called each uni and while they did not tell her what their cut off mark was Aberdeen for example did say *wink*wink*nudge*nudge* "I don't think you would be successful applying here." Give the medical unis a call and I'm sure they would be able to give you a good guide as to if you should apply, I doubt they want to bother with people that don't stand a chance anyway.

I'm also doing the GAMSAT & UKCAT?

How long are you spending on each roughly per day?

Which GEP Dentistry course did your cousin enrol onto? I'm applying to GEP Dentistry for 2013 entry. I'd be over the moon if I got onto the KCL 4 year GPEP course.

Hey guys, I just sat the UKCAT got a 730 avg...cannot believe it. So chuffed.

However, does anyone know of GEM unis (other than Imperial) that have a minimum score per section on the UKCAT. VR didn't go so well. My break down is:

VR- 560
QR- 720
AR- 820
DA- 820

I have no idea what happened in VR, it was my best section when practising. What baffles me more is that I was epically failing most QR sections in practice tests and I'm generally hopeless at maths. Oh well. I'm hoping my poor performance in VR won't let me down! If anyone has any info, it would be much appreciated! Thank you!
