What We Know So Far About UCAT

[Rathin Shah]

I found an approximate raw mark to scaled mark conversion online. Also saw the exact same thing on the KAPLAN 'Score Higher' textbook. It does come with a disclaimer though;

The scores are for approximation purposes only. Scores on the UCAT are given in 10 point intervals, so actual scores will vary slightly. This table is designed to bark on the side of caution, so in most cases a similar performance on the UCAT would result in a slightly higher score.

Not sure why the pictures didn't upload, but here is the link: UCAT Conversion Table - THE MEDIC BLOG

What did Kaplan say the raw mark to scaled mark conversion is?

Would be good to know because I think for the UKCAT you have to get ~700 to be in the top 10%... Not sure what it will take to actually get into medicine though.

Yes does anyone know if the questions in the UCAT exam in Australia will be using Australian context? E.g I see some questions refer passage about to UK laws/government... so will they be rewritten for Aus exam sitters?

From the UCAT ANZ website: 'However it is identical in it's format and content to the UCAT (UK)'. So, probably not. There should be no questions requiring extensive prior knowledge of context, anyway, and I'm surprised there would be questions regarding UK-specific laws/government. Do you have an example of the question/s?

Any comments about the Test Locations in Sydney CBD ? I was looking through the comments on experiences test-takers had last year 2019 on this forum & thought I ask if anyone recall anything worth sharing.
