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.
@@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
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!
@@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)

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.
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
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!
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? 😓
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!
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.
@@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 .
@@hamer22 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
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 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
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
@@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?
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
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!
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
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 😭😭😭
