does anyone know what the maximum score is for the UKCAT?

The UKCAT is scored by section. You can score between a 300 and a 900 in each of the first four sections. The average, according to the UKCAT Consortium, is between 500 and 700 on each subtest. Some universities operate a cut off - whwre they will not interview candidates with a score below XXX - this will vary each year and may be applied as a cutoff for the total score or for a minimum in each section. ( This website [1])have put together a free applicant guide which outlines how each university uses the results

At the moment it is only used for Medicine and Dentistry —Preceding unsigned comment added by Masudarahman (talk • contribs) 10:45, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I hear this exam is marked in a strange way, i.e. your result doesn't mean you got an x amount of marks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yhulkdsfdd (talk • contribs) 20:13, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The actual marking scheme is a closely guarded secret - but actually your score does reflect an actual mark - but it is scored on a normal distribution curve so an "average"score this year may be a high or low score next year - this means that scores can only be compared for candidates in the same sitting as someone who scored 650 in one year may have actually got more marks than someone who scored 550 the year before. 82.36.20.188 (talk) 12:06, 23 April 2010 (UTC)Masudarahman —Preceding unsigned comment added by Masudarahman (talk • contribs) 11:14, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dear bots - can I add this link in the main page ... - it links to a set of practice questions that are no sign up, free access and useful to people sitting the UKCAT. The page has no advertising etc and the providers are not promoting a course or paid service Masudarahman (talk) 11:52, 23 April 2010 (UTC)Masudarahman 11:47, 23 April 2010 (UTC)masudarahman —Preceding unsigned comment added by Masudarahman (talk • contribs) [reply]

There are humans behind the bots, but anyway, no, that way of linking is promotional, even for a free website. Please read the policies and guidelines which have been laid out to you, and try to edit according to them. Happy editing. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 12:01, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

UKCAT to be renamed University Clinical Aptitude Test in the future

Recently it was announced that Australian and New Zealand universities will adopt this test for degrees in the areas of Medicine, Dentistry and Clinical Science. (http://www.ucatofficial.com/)

Apparently the new name 'UCAT' or 'University Clinical Aptitude Test' will be adopted some time from now until, at the very latest, December 2019.

Just wanna throw this out there just in case I'm jumping the gun in renaming the article right now :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wynterheim (talk • contribs) 06:06, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It may be relevant to mention that the abstract reasoning section often includes Bongard problems. (20040302 (talk) 08:51, 11 May 2020 (UTC))[reply]
