Post-UCAT Discussion 2022

[hotshot]

Hi- just a silly question- can i ask more note pad because i ran out of the one sheet fairly quickly in QR. thanks

 

[silvia123]

has anyone taken their test at the UQ testing centre yet? if so, were there no problems? i have just heard from previous students that it glitched for some of them so im slightly concerned.

You get given a laminated notebook with multiple pages so it's unlikely you'd be running out of space quickly unless your handwriting is really big. But yes, you can still ask for more notebooks/sheets

I sat there. They have ear plugs. Very smooth process, no covid testing or anything needed.

ok cool thanks!

Just say my UCAT at Kent Street in Sydney. I’m disappointed in my results seeing as I’d prepared for a long period of time and averaged 3140 over my last 8 mocks.

VR: 680
DM: 690
QR: 810
AR: 870

Total: 3050

Also quite annoyed that I aced my weak sections but bottled my VR and DM which I hadn’t got less than 800 for in many mocks. Naturally I’d be less annoyed if I had a chance at any University, but being a NSW resident I don’t seem to have much of a chance.

Good luck to everyone else and make sure you draw the correct conclusions in DM!

Congrats! on your score. Don't be hard on yourself. Going by last year's interview cutoffs...you may have a chance for an interview call for JMP... I think the cut off was 3040.

Seeing that scores have been ever increasing, I’m prepared to have to retake it next year.

As long as you have motivation for your medicine/dentistry dream, you will be a doctor one day. You can also apply for the medicine via a bachelor degree.

I believe it. I never give up, and I'm not planning on it now.
Thank you though, it's shocking what even such a small affirmation can do.

Did my UCAT today at the Pearson Melbourne testing centre. Pretty happy with my results, (content removed).

VR: 700
DM: 870
QR: 900
AR: 740
SJ: 627
Total: 3210 (98th percentile last year)

What would my chances be at a Monash interview as a local VIC applicant (My school's projected an ATAR of 99.85 but I don't know how accurate this is), and would I be competitive for a UQ, UAdel, UWA, UNSW, or UoN interview? What would my chances be to get an offer for UTas?

Hi all,
I just wanted to request all the people who have sat the UCAT this year already to post their mock exam scores in the 'Predicting UCAT Scores from Mock Exam Results' section as this information is very valuable to people like me who are yet to sit the UCAT. Thank you so much.

Tbh, I think you have a very good chance for UNSW. Only if u have a high ATAR and good interview.

Your case is so clearcut I can't resist posting this. Let's tone down your ATAR to 99.60 plus 98%ile you should get an interview everywhere (bar maybe JCU). If you then do an interviewees-average interview - you won't get a JMP/JPM offer but you'd at least get Monash being local Vic, UNSW & UWA are likely, borderline for Adelaide & UQ (but who cares since you've got local Monash).

I don't wanna be that contrarian and torture you with unnecessary hope, but I think the jumps in 9th deciles have been bubbles. Who knows, the relative ease of this year's tests (easy QR?) or their changes (eg -5 questions for AR) might shift scores upwards. The majority agrees with an upward prediction, but I feel like it will actually go down or at most, only have a tiny increase. My gut feeling is that the scores ramping up have something to do with lockdowns, and we went out of them late last year. UK scores even dropped in some non-COVID years (2018's 2810 to 2019's 2800) and after an initial increase, they stayed stagnant (2020's 2850 and 2021's 2850). And what would you expect if you remove some of the time for extra study? ANZ has less experience with UCAT than the UK and ofc it's not the exact same, so we'll have to wait and see.

dont take it too close to heart its just my opinion

Sad that my VR choked this time, was averaging 700 in VR for mocks - 2nd time sitting the exam - big improvement from last time. Any chance of UNE/ UoN? I know my VR is too low for WSU
