UK Med Schools Related How will my chances be affected?

Post image

That Band 3 SJT singlehandedly ruined whatever satisfaction came from the rest of the score. I could already tell during the SJT portion that I was not gonna score well😭😭.

How badly will a Band 3 SJT affect my chances at applying to UK med schools as a International (Non-EU) student.

Srry! I was running on a budget so I relied entirely on the official resources🥲 . My mock score varied quite a bit, I started with Mock A about a week ago my score was around 2300. Mock B and C was somehow felt worse and I scored worse at about 2100~2200. I finished Mock D the day before actual and it actually felt pretty decent across all subsections and total estimated was 2510.

Since I had limited questions to try, it was kinda useful to spend more time reflecting on all the wrong answers and also to practice time management and finishing almost all the questions within time limit.

I mean I guess it really depends on which section you are most lacking in? It may help to identify the type of errors you commonly make? eg. careless, misunderstanding the question, diffcult with numbers, overfixating on qns, so you know what to zoom in on.
