I received the following reply from UCAT ANZ a couple of days ago:
“Thank you for your email. The percentiles are based on the preliminary statistics. The data for these represents approximately 80% of the total. When all testing is finished at the end of this month, the percentiles will be checked for accuracy, but the expectation is that there will be very little change.“

Hi everyone I did my ucat today for the second time because last year I didn't get the result I wanted. I got 2970. I wanted to do UNSW non standard entry as I'm at USC/Griffith medicine right now and I don't think I scored enough however we will wait and see I guess.
Here were my individual scores
VR 740
DM 660
QR 830
AR 740

DM was much harder than I anticipated as in practice it was much easier to me and easily my strongest section. I got overconfident and underestimated it I guess so remember to treat all sections equally!

Congrats on your score! Just wondering, how are you finding USC/Griffith? Are you simply just looking to move to Sydney or is the course/location a factor in why you want to move as well?

Hi, Just out of interest, was UCAT not a criteria last year to get into USC/Griffith medicine as you mentioned that you did not get the result you wanted last year. Your input would help. Thanks
 
We had 12,700 candidates accounted for in the interim test stats. How many people normally do the ucat? Is it possible to see a change of +-10 for 90th percentile with the number of students that are still to do the test?

Last year it was 14,092. I have no idea though about likelihood of shifts.

Yes it is possible, it can decrease further or increase or remain the same. It depends on the how strong the last remaining test takers are relative to the cohort. It is difficult to predict what it will be but I would assume it would not shift too much and might remain the same

The only change between the two statistics seems to be that VR average went down by 1 score, and QR and AR average went up by 1 score each. Nothing else seems to have changed.

1700 largely NSW students right?

This proves NSW students are not smarter than the rest of Australia, contrary to mythical beliefs 🤣
