Hey, this is not exactly abt the ucat but I'm curious as to what you are doing now as I am someone who is unlikely to gain ungrad entry into dent as a school leaver so looking into alternative pathways. eg, are you studying a bachelors degree, on gap years or working?I did my UCAT on the 4th of July at Kent St! This was my 3rd attempt:
2021 2022 2023 Verbal Reasoning 650 630 880 Decision Making 680 670 770 Quantitative Reasoning 700 740 800 Abstract Reasoning 880 870 830 Total 2910 2910 3280 SJT 646 629 704
Very happy with my improvement
I'm applying to med at UNSW, JMP, JPM and JCU

I have done 1 year of a bachelors degree and am now on a gap year actually!
oh okay that sounds great, didn't know it was possible to do a gap year then tbh. do you mind sharing what degree was it in and also do you know if it matters what degree it is? eg if someone does 1 year of an arts degree but wants to transfer/ apply into undergrad med using their gpa...
Yeah my uni allows us to take program leave of up to 1 year which is what I'm doing. I won't divulge specifics but my degree is completely unrelated to health and I know that med/dent universities don't care about what degree you're doing. E.g. a 7 GPA in an arts degree would be regarded as equal to a 7 GPA in a medsci/science/health related degree

Just did the ucat today and achieved following scores:
VR: 600 (majority of the passages were kinda long, got unlucky
)
DM: 770
QR: 880
AR: 890
Total: 3140
I’m a non-rural school leaver from QLD with a predicted atar of 99.8 above. Could anyone suggest what uni’s interviews i’m likely to get? Thanks in advance

Let's do this exercise together so others can do same for themselves.Just did the ucat today and achieved following scores:

On the big IF this year is the same as last year : 3140 is around 96-97%ile.
Now familiarise yourself with this table
> [Undergrad] - (2023 Updated) Med schools Selection Criteria Y12s & Non-standards
I can help with the first clue that with 600VR 96-97%ile non-NSW, WSU/JPM is out.
Together with 99.80 you should get several interview invites, can you work out yourself which unis/schools?
Yes you almost got it
If things this year are same as last year you should get interview invites from UQ, CQU, JMP, Adelaide on your UCAT score alone.
Combined with 99.80 you should also get UNSW, UWA, Curtin if you're interested. However it's borderline for Monash interstate applicants, in fact 96-97%ile could even be not enough.
Sure
Normally it’s in 2900-3000 range. I’d say official mock C&D are more accurate representatives. Also, DM practice questions on official website are really worth doing.
Ello everyone, sat mine last night and I'm an RA2 student so pretty happy with what I've got.
I had prep and honestly felt the exam was very different to the mocks, that being said I did my second best score so far in the actual test.

Hey congrats, can you please elaborate on what you mean that it was different?

This is entirely my personal experience and I've seen alot say the mocks were similar, but I specifically found DM and QR had questions I was not familiar with. Overall I'd say the actual one was easier, but leaving the exam room I could not tell at all how it went whereas doing mocks I had a sense whether or not it was good in the moment. Could just be me tbh
For an idea, I was averaging 2800 in my most recent 5 mocks on prep.

Apologies, my fault there. Thank you for correcting
Just adding to this: there is to be no discussion of prep companies at all, not just not naming them.
Just steer clear altogether or talk very generally about ‘mocks’. It’s a legal issue from on high and not the decision of moderators or admins.
Thank you.
You were asking about offer chances but given all NSW unis have an interview component it’s very difficult to say.
Looking at your interview chances may be a little more straightforward. Did you follow the method A1 helpfully outlined above? What conclusions have you arrived at based on his table?
I tried i assume WSU maybe jmp but idk cause my sjt is bad and then unsw maybe cause i have eas and maybe UQ but idk tbh, It would be great if if someone could confirm my predictions it would lowkey relieve a lot of stress ahaha
Also cause my vr isn't the best so not sure about wsu
