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?

Second Year Results..

At 11 am I went into my tutors office today, not knowing that I was the last person in our group to collect their results. The conversations between my tutor and I are always succinct and to the point. Today really wasn't any different. I asked him how he was, and how his day had been. I then sat down in a chair opposite him, a desk in between us, and I took a deep breath.

He opened up the window on his computer. Asked me to confirm my student number, he duly typed it into the keyboard. There was a brief pause, and in his thick indian accent he said "Okay.. "

"For your second year, you received the result of seventy-.." HOLD UP. WAIT A SECOND!

In my head I'd already zoned out: I heard "seventy" something. My mind and heart was consumed with relief at this point! I didn't care if it was 70% or 79.9%, but I had a First Class result for my second year!

"-one point nine percent.."

71.9%! I thanked him and after some formalities and jotting down my individual module scores, I left the office and headed downstairs. My friends were there waiting, and they asked how I did, and I told them all my results. For that entire day, I was a happy girl! A great return for a hard investment.

Best of luck with everyone else and their results - my prayers are with you!
