- After taking the UKCAT exam twice now, and failing the first time round, I learnt a lot about this exam and its impact on students when it comes to applying to medicine! In this video I will be explaining why your UCAT grade is not the be all and end all when applying, and why you can still get into Med school... even with a low grade!

Didnt improve drastically? Wtf. Girl you went from like 1750 to 2550. 800 increase and from band 3 to band 1. That is insane.
Girl, you are stunning! All the best with everything!
this helped me calm my nerves!!! thank you soo much! i have my ucat today:)
This is the first time I leave a comment in a youtube video. Thanks a lot for sharing your story. I appreciate the honesty. Thanks for being brave and inspiring. I wish you the very best.
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
I really appreciate your honesty ❤️ SUCH a helpful video 🙌🏾 You are so gorgeous 💖
Ofcourse!! Im so glad you found it useful! Thank you Reena
This video is exactly what I needed to hear! My exam is in a week and I can’t seem to get much higher than 2650 B1 in my mocks - which is ok, but the target I set myself is 2900 so I’ve just been beating myself up about it. I think it’s time to accept that maybe I won’t get in the top decile and that’s ok.
Hey, mines in a month and im beginning to prepare more. How are you preparing?
How did you do? :))
@@Charlie-ct8jk feels like ages ago now but i ended up getting 2760 B2 so I did decently but I never even remotely reached my target
@@melon-dr6nd that’s still a great score! Congrats, I did mine yesterday and got B1 and 2670 which will still get me where I mainly want to go I believe
where did you end up going@@Charlie-ct8jk
Thank you so much! My exam is in 4 weeks and your video does really help.
Best of luck! I am glad I could provide some form of comfort! I know how stressful it can be! But do not worry I am sure you will come out of it okay! I wish you the best of luck xxx
Thank you for this video & your honesty!! I’ve got my ucat this week & I’m really trying to not stress .
Thank you! Best of luck! I'm sure you will do well, just relax and do the best you can xxx
Hannah Thank you so much!! It really means a lot x
Yeah I agree with you that's it's unfair the exam is once a circle. Lovely video., your amazing
Thank you so much :)
@@mednah5509 your welcome 🙏

Score second time round were sick, congrats! I applied last year as a grad wtih 2530 but got rejected, competition was mad, re sitting it again this summer!
what band did you get for SJ?
@@payamsanei9526 Band 3
@@dominicdesouza487 ahh i thought SJ was easy
@@payamsanei9526 yeah its alot harder in the exam
@@dominicdesouza487 oh no how can i ensure that i get B2 OR B1 then
Really needed this!!! UCAT in 2 days.......
How did it go!!
VERY WELL SAID ! I also got band 3 first time then second-time band 1 and even if you got 2330 you can still apply it is all about applying to unis strategically!
100%! Could not say it better myself
@@mednah5509 hi, I am thinking of applying to Keele Uni too but it says they require a "roles and responsibility" form. I have not done any work experience with regards to healthcare over this summer because of the on going pandemic so how will Keele consider applicants who are in a similar situation like me? Thank u! Good video. :)
EDIT I am an undergraduate (Yr13)
@@kangolklm5490 I’m in the exact same situation,any advice ?
@@itzjelin9096 hi, I did not apply to Keele. I applied to Lincoln instead and got an offer!! I’m starting medicine in about 20 days time. Good luck for u
@@kangolklm5490 congrats that’s so good!
I was aiming for 2800 but I got 2540 band 3 and I'm so upset, but I know I still have a chance if I do well in the BMAT
i just did my ucat exam this morning and i got 2630 even though i was aiming for >2900, i am pretty upset about it as i did practice for months and did over 10 full mock exams and because idk about other countries but im from nsw australia and they dont take students with a low ucat usually under 90th percentile that is unless u achieve a 99.95 ATAR during highschool :(
I am an international student and I will be applying for Uni in Australia next year. After my year 12 exams in India...I'll have only 2 months to prepare for the UCAT ANZ if it's in the month of July. Can you recommend some books or absolutely anything that you did for preparation?
And also...is it too hard? 😓
I’m in this exact position right now. 2nd attempt and still shegged.
I got 672.5 avrg ucat but my gcses were quite average:( what do you think i should do? Please be completely honest
what unis did you apply to the second time round?
thanks in advance
hiya, I'm applying from Ireland and because of COVID and bad handling from my school etc I only ended up getting to register for my UCAT a week before the exam. With a lot of cramming and stress I managed a score of 2390 (i know it's not great) and a band 3 (also not great haha). I was like you and didn't have a great exam day, I may have had a bit of a breakdown mid exam - hehe- so I didn't do as well as I could have. but I'm expecting to do very well in my end of year exams and working very hard on my personal statement..etc do you think I could potentially still get in somewhere? xo
hii, were u able to get an offer ??
I got similar ucat to you did you get any offers??? This video was a great stress reliever tbh tyyyx
Hey yes! I did, I got all my offers! I hope to make a video in the future about my application and interview process if that helps anyone out x
@@mednah5509I just did my UCAT and got the same score as you, it would be super helpful to know which universities you applied to as the ones I was previously looking at have higher cut off scores than what I got .
Hey, I’m in the same boat this year. Where would you say is best to apply to strategically speaking as a grad with a low ucat?
Did you get an offer (My friends in the same boat)
Hey I was wondering where you applied since we got quite similar scores. I just did my UCAT a few hours ago
hey! Congrats first of all! And yes, I applied to Keele, Belfast, Anglia Ruskin and Leicester university!! All offered me an interview... so your score is more than able to get you into a few universities!
Hannah hey there, could i know your GCSEs and A Levels too? because i’m applying to some of those too😅appreciate it!!
@@mednah5509 Is that queens university Belfast? Did you have really high GCSEs then or a levels?
i love your videos can do a everyday makeup tutorial
Thank you xxx
Hello !! Do you know if it is possible to do the ukcats summer next year and join medical school later that following year, like fall 2021?
In UK? No you can’t.
Unfortunately, anything below 3000 won't get me into med schools in my country
got my ucat today! i hope i do well i’m hoping to apply for dentistry 2021
i’m really not stressing because i don’t mind wether i get into uni first time around, i think a gap year would really do me good but i still want to try my hardest👍🏼 will post an update
@@bakeymykakey Gooood luck!
how did it go!!
@@bakeymykakey Best of luck with your application! I am sure you will do great! And like you said a gap year is always a brilliant option! There is no rush! xx
what uni are you at?
I got an average of 632 and Band 2. Is that good enough to apply?
Yes most deffinetly! Best of luck with your application!
I have done my ucat this week and it’s really bad my total score is 2030. I am not sure any uni will accept it. But still wanna ask do you think it’s worth applying. Btw I am mature student and planning to go to GEM.
I do think it is worth applying definitely. Although your score is low, there are universities that will not cut your score out completely when considering interviews, which you will have to do your research for. If all other credentials are met, like your grades etc, it is not fully impossible. GEM might be difficult if you did not do the GAMSAT, so I do recommend you checking out UG medicine! I hope that is of some reassurance and help! Best of luck with your application!
Thank You so much Hannah🙂
Which unis did you apply to for GEM? How did it go? I’m applying for GEM this year
my g
MY EXAM IS ON MONDAY OMGAD I JUST DID A MOQ AND GOT 1600 IM SO STRESSED
I hope it went well for you! I wish you the best of luck with your application!
how did it go?
🙏🙌🙌
Just did my ucat and got band 1 585 average and I want to dentistry 😭😭😭
I got the same score last apart from the fact I got a band 3. Dentistry don't normally pay attention to score but look at bands so a band 1 is extremely good. I managed to get an interview at uni of livepool with my ucat score unfortunately didn't get a place but you should definitely apply there. Uni of manchester look at bands so again with your band 1 you have a higher chance of getting a place. Plymouth uni also don't look at ucat much and thats another place you can apply to. Hope this helps gl.
Abdul Khaled thank you so much😭😭😭I thought I would have no chance with my UCAT Score
heyyy how did it go? i wanna do dentistry too and im stressing about ucat😭😭
I did mine today. I got an overall score of 2870 but I got a band 3 in SJT so I'm really concerned that itll ruin my chances 😬
Congrats, that's amazing! Mine's in 2 weeks and I'm so stressed😬
@@localhuman3064 Thank you 🥺 and hey, dont worry. I found that the actual thing was much easier than the mocks I'd been doing. In my mocks I'd been averaging around 2600. The UCAT official mocks are ridiculously difficult comparatively and AR and QR are so much easier in the actual thing. Hopefully you'll be fine! 😁
Those are really good scores!
Congrats!! 😊I've got mine in less than 2 weeks. Were DM, AR and QR very hard? Did you buy any UCAT course to study (like Medify or MedEntry)
@@diamondbabe9759 Hi, thank you! I used medify about a month before my exam. I found that both AR and QR were easier in the exam and I scored higher on both than I had in mocks. Decision making was about the same- not harder than mocks but not easier either- and verbal reasoning was similar to medify but I found that the texts were shorter. I hope that helps and best of luck
@@Mnnytxh what kind of patterns came up on your exam. Where there patterns with like 3-4 rules?
When’s the best time to start revising for the ucat?
Roughly 6 weeks before the exam
It really just depends on you...like some people start preparing 6 weeks but honestly I started preparing 5 months (nearly half a year) cause I knew I personally needed more time
3 months before
I’ve got 7 weeks until my UCAT, doing an hour every day but still really struggling w progress, any tips on how to improve? Struggling to get 600 in any category
i have 4 weeks and im getting 570 average
@@aashankhan333Same. how are you revising? And what are you using?
@@aashankhan333 Me too
@@Nico.Robin7 I’ve been using medify and have done like almost 6000 questions (over like 2 and a bit months) and have actually started using tutoring (not massively helpful) - I’ve managed to improve my DM and AR but not really VR and QR. I’m just praying for an ‘average’ score like in this video.
@@eggen6183 Honestly QR is my worst nightmare 😫. I barely get any questions right in that section. For VR check out medic mind videos on YT I found them very helpful especially the author question video. How are coping with timings?
Did you take a gap year
Hey! No I didn't
What were your a level grades?
Hey! My A level grades were AABB, however I got my Bs in Biology and Chemistry which is why I never got in when applying during my A levels!
I have mine tomorrow and I’m so nervous 🥺🥺😞😞
Shanti Roberts how did you do?
Nimra Khan I got a band 2 and my average was 622.5. Verbal reasoning let me down it’s so so hard in the exam but quantitative was so simple🥺 I struggle with maths but it was very very simple in the real thing. SJ had more scenarios compared to medify (what I used). My advise would be to not rely solely on Medify and to use the official UCAT website questions with other things. Also, try relax as much as possible (the nerves will distract you 😭)
Shanti Roberts I got lower average than you. I got around 600 average. Verbal reasoning let me down too. Also was doing my test online and the examiner took a lot of my time too asking me not to do things and I asked for a tissue and she took soooooo long to reply and I was legit dying. Also at the end my questions were taking so long to load 😭😭😭
@@nimrakhan1633 You still did good! Please don't be so disheartened, you can still get in with that score if you apply smart!
@@shantiroberts9209 Well done! You did amazing!
hehehehehehe ur funny
