How the UCAT Score Is Calculated

The scores on the UCAT Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning, and Abstract Reasoning subtests are based on the number of questions answered correctly, and points are not deducted for incorrect responses.

Since the number of questions on each section varies, the raw scores need to be converted to scaled scores. The scaled scores for each section (except the SJT subtest) have a common range of 300-900. To determine the total scaled UCAT score, simply add up the individual scores of each section.

Scaled scores range between 1200-3600. For example, if you score a 710 on verbal reasoning, a 650 on decision making, an 830 on quantitative reasoning, and a 750 on abstract reasoning, your total scaled UCAT score will be 2940.


How the UCAT SJT Section Is Scored

The UCAT SJT subtest is scored a bit differently from the cognitive tests. The raw score is provided in one of four bands, with one being the highest band and four being the lowest band. Learn more about UCAT Situational Judgement scoring.


How Do I Find out My UCAT Scores?

Upon leaving the test centre, you will receive a copy of your UCAT scores. It will also be available on your Pearson VUE online account. UCAS will take care of sending your scores to the universities to which you are applying. The copy that you receive at the test centre is primarily for your own personal record.

What Score Do I Need on the UCAT?

There are 30 universities in the UK that use the UCAT as part of their admission process. Some of them consider the UCAT score as a significant factor of the application, and others might consider your GPA or interview as a more significant factor.

Each university has a different threshold score to be achieved before moving to the next step of the admission process.
