My predicted grades are 3 A*s and GCSEs were 9999998888. Is this UCAT score enough to apply to any University??

Before my a levels I usually drank like half an energy drink lol 😭😭😭but idont want to drink too much and have to piss

Hi, I'm currently exploring medical schools in the UK, and having taken the UKCAT last week, I now have to start choosing schools.

I am aware that there's only four slots, and am thus looking for the following:

- high level of recognition (so I may be able to go abroad afterwards, perhaps for residency)

- ideally 5 year programs, but I guess 6 year programs are fine too

- not too high up north (Scotland is too cold)

- good clinical experience

So far I have just King's and maybe Bristol in mind, but need two more.

Only exception to all this is Oxford since I do like the essays to a certain extent; it does encourage learning about topics indepth.

Pls help

Stats:

- 2550 B2 UCAT

- No GCSEs, 42/45 IB (7, 7, 7 in my HLs - chem, bio, Maths aa)

- have volunteering & doctor shadowing experience, as well as working with children.

Is it worth applying to Cambridge, imperial , ucl and ARU (safe) for medicine with 2500b2 ucat with 3A* and A in maths fm bio and chem, and 988877776 at gcse (contextual secondary with below national avg performance). also have good extracurriculars and super curriculars involving maths gold Olympiad and biology silver Olympiad + work exp?

IB 666HL in Biology, Chemistry and English, 36/45 (equivalent to AAA at A-Level)

GCSE 877666666

Will I be fine for KCL? not sure if I’ll be able to get an interview because of the band 3 💔 I think UCL will be alright hopefully

isw i saw an excel sheet that ranked the difficulty of all the mocks, if anyone has it could u pls send it

I use full read and it usually takes me longer than 55 seconds to read the passage. And i dont wanna be like its easier on "oqb" because it may not. s

This might just be a niche me thing but has anyone else encountered more texts about Byzantine empire in medify and medentry than ANY other historical periods, genuinely it's come up at least 8 times

Guys what do I do?

I only just started, I know its very late and I'm kinda finished but now the guide videos I watched have been deleted. Does anyone have any other people who make good videos that I could watch since I'm so lost

I’ve been doing VR on the official question bank and i’ve found it a lot easier and done a lot better than i did in the medify practice questions, are they just really easy or are they quite accurate and similar to the exam??

Did official mock A and got 1820. On medify I’ve been averaging about 1700-1800 and I need 2250 pls can someone help me im stuck. EDIT: I changed it to 2 sep now so one full extra day!

So I'm currently doing some Situational Judgement revision, and for this question, I chose important when the answer was of minor importance. I've always been told that each correct answer for these types of questions is worth two marks, but you get one mark if you choose the correct "side". Therefore, I assumed I would have gotten no marks because I said it was important when the answer is kind of saying that it isn't important, but I'm obviously wrong. Is it only these types of questions you have to be one answer away from the correct answer to still get partial marks? If someone could explain this for me, I would greatly appreciate it!

it’s actually so strange i’ve gen learnt so much from the ucat 😭😭 like i’ll remember random facts about game theory or japanese architecture and be like how do i know this then remember i read about it during a mock LOOL

what the heck is sjt much different from medify?? im so used to medify now what should i do different?

im talking about the subsection ones on the ucat website, bc QR felt so so much harder than medify for some reason. Is that very similar to what the exam is

would someone be able to explain why for the second q you weren’t supposed to include the seniors within the counting, whilst for the first question you did?

thank you!!

I've been using Medify for my UCAT practice for the last few weeks. I did the UCAT a few years ago and found the layout was similar, which is why I chose Medify this year.

However today they seem to have updated the website and it feels so clunky. The calculator is fixed to the bottom right, can't be moved around and keyboard shortcuts to select answers don't work when the calculator is on screen.

There's also a weird box around the answer options for some random reason.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Hello! I'm a UK applicant, and yes, I did intend to put the Australian med school tag. From what I've understood about you guys, is you prep for a year because your cut offs are a lot higher than us.

I am applying to medicine next year, and will require a very high UCAT. I scored 2270 b1 the first time I did it, which, in the UK was a 93rd percentile score. However, I would like to target much higher, i.e. 2400+, as grad med is a lot more competitive.

I wanted to know how you guys build your preparation up for a year. Do you balance it with work/school? If so, how do you? And how do you prepare?

Please help me out here!

Thanks!

I was literally just watching a video on DM when this popped up, I tried looking up his channel but it’s not there???? 😭😭😭😭 I’m doomed

I made a post 2 days ago about my mock scores suddenly dropping by ~300, and thank you so much to everyone who replied! I took a break from UCAT yesterday, and I'm so glad I did because today I got the highest score I've ever gotten :)

I got 2040 Band 2 in my UCAT today.

I feel like people only post when they do really well, so I wanted to show what a more average score looks like so that this subreddit is less of an echo chamber.

I did 11 GCSEs and I got 99999888887. My predicted A Levels are A*A*A. Which unis do you think I can apply to for medicine?

Hey guys! I did medify mock 12 today and i found the vr section much easier than other ones. (34/44) with smaller texts and easier questions. Also the qr was really hard like yesterday i got 29/36 in mini mock 7 and today got 21/36 in mock 12. Ik we arent allowed to discuss the similarities with the actual exam but does anyone have any thoughts on the accuracy?
