UCAT® Scores Explained: Scaled Scores & Percentiles • Your UCAT® scaled score is a score out of 3600 for the combined verbal reasoning, decision making, quantitative reasoning, and abstract reasoning sections, as well as a score out of 900 for the situational judgement. The minimum UCAT® score for each section is 300 and the maximum is 900. • Your UCAT® percentile score is a number out of 100 based on how your performance sits within your cohort. There is no way of ascertaining this from your scaled score or how many questions you get correct as this score depends on the varying performance of each examination cohort. However, the UCAT® percentile score may hold the most weight in terms of medical school application, and you can get an idea of what scores convert to which percentages by looking at trends of previous years. • UCAT® Situational Judgement subtest is often not considered by universities.
UCAT®Frequently Asked Questions • What do my UCAT® scores mean? » The UCAT® score is not a ‘mark’. It is a scaled score that has taken into account the difficulty of the exam. This raw scaled score is converted to a UCAT® percentile. This means that the UCAT® percentile conversions from UCAT® raw scores will change every year depending on how well the applicant pool has performed. • Why is my UCAT® score decreasing? » The UCAT® score is based on a percentile, and this means that you are ranked against other applicants in your cohort. The UCAT® institution will utilise statistical methods to ensure a fair and competitive process for determining your UCAT® percentile. • What is a Good UCAT® Score? » The UCAT ® percentile for non-rural students is above the 90th percentile, with a 2022 statistic of 2980. The 90th percentile cut-off is expected to increase annually. Other factors like state, rural eligibility, and university admissions weightings also influence offers.
