UKCAT Results

Hello all,
So on the 18th of September, I sat my UKCAT at 2pm. I've been revising on and off for about a month, and in the last ten days I went into intense revision mode. I used both the 600Questions book which costs £10 and a 2-week subscription of Medify costing me £35. All in all, I'd highly recommend Medify to definitely boost your timing and it helped me considerably. My only regret was I'd left my preparation for Descision Analysis a little late, leaving around two days before my exam. In 2012 I scored 680 in DA, assuming they probably didn't change the marking around too much, oh how I was wrong!

My scores below:
Verbal Reasoning - 620
Quantitative Reasoning - 780
Abstract Reasoning - 750
Decision Analysis - 540
Situational Judgement - Band 2

Giving an average of 673. My heart sinked a little when I looked at DA, surprised considering I thought I did quite well in that section, more so than QR! It means I'll probably be taking a small step away from applying to four A101 GEM courses on UCAS, and consider 2 or 3 five-year A100 courses. I personally don't think my UKCAT is high enough to get interviews onto the four-year courses, and I really want to maximize my chances of interview. Funding might be an issue, but I've been saving up for a few years so it shouldn't be too bad..

Thoughts?
