How the UKCAT is used by Consortium Universities
This document aims to provide an overview of how each consortium university uses the UKCAT in their admissions processes. We endeavour to provide up
to date information directly copiedfrom each consortium website on the date cited but cannot be held responsible for omissions, inaccuracies or changes.
At this point in the year some information may still pertain to 2013 entry so we recommend you check the institution s website before making any
decisions regarding your application for 2014 entry and we have provided web links to the source information.

A20 University of
Aberdeen
A100 Medicine Candidates' UKCAT scores are considered in our selection for interview but are not the sole
indicator for selection. They are considered alongside actual and predicted academic
achievement and the objective scoring of information supplied on the UCAS application form
(the Personal Statement and Reference). All indicators are considered together in deciding who
will be selected for interview. A minimum UKCAT cut-off score is NOT used.
Applicants to Aberdeen offer a broad range of UKCAT scores. For 2012 entry:
Applicants: the lowest total score for an applicant was 1619 and the highest 2890. Offers made: the lowest total score for successful applicants who were made offers
was 2210 and the highest 2890

A100 Medicine Most applicants to BSMS are required to take the UKCAT the summer prior to applying to us
(please note most graduates will be expected to take the BMAT. Please view our graduate entry
requirements for further information). There is currently no UKCAT threshold. We only use the
UKCAT once you have been interviewed, either if you are on borderline with other candidates to
being offered a place here, or if you are already on our waiting list and a space has become
available. A low UKCAT score does not mean that your application will automatically be madeunsuccessful if you meet our other entry requirements.

UKCAT test if we are at the end of the process with two applicants in a tiebreak situation, at
which point we may refer to the test results to make a decision.

Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT). The UKCAT threshold may differ in each admissions cycle as it is
dependent on the scores achieved by those applicants who apply to our Medical School in the
current cycle. Therefore information on what the threshold is, is not available to prospectivestudents.

we are not using the Situational Judgement Test - SJT score/banding). We do not set a
minimum cut-off score for the UKCAT, but consider the component scores within the
academic screening processes. Whilst a high UKCAT score may be advantageous a low
score, in an otherwise strong application, will not automatically disqualify an applicant
from consideration.

We have not set a cut-off score for the UKCAT test. We will consider scores from the test
within the academic screening processes in the School. Whilst a high UKCAT score could be
advantageous a low score will not automatically disqualify a candidate from consideration.
If the rest of the application is strong then the applicant could still be short-listed for
interview with a lower UKCAT test score.

A100 Medicine The Selection Committee uses your UKCAT score to make a more informed decision about your
application. Once all the scores are received we rank them and allocate a score. The points arethen added to your total score to contribute towards your final ranking. Due to the introduction
of the Situational Judgement section of the test, ranking for 2014 entry has yet to be decided.
However, we will still be considering all scores and no applicant will be excluded from selection
based on the score achieved in their UKCAT test (although applicants will be excluded if they
have failed to take the test and not gained an exemption). The score an applicant achieved may
be looked at again when final decisions are being made and there is a number of applicants with
the same ranked score and limited places left to offer.

A100 Medicine The UKCAT results are an important part of the MBChB Admissions process. The incorporation
of the UKCAT results into the admissions process is reviewed on an annual basis. For entry in
September 2013 the Medical School will interview approximately 500-600 applicants. Aninterview or entry is not guaranteed. Applicants should note that they will be considered within
their year of application and by the standard presented during that admissions cycle alone.
Depending on the number of applications the Medical School receives by 15 October and the
range of UKCAT scores received in November, the Medical School may not be in a position to
consider further all applicants who meet/are predicted to achieve minimum academic entry
requirements and who also possess the UKCAT national average total score. Interviewees who
meet/are predicted to achieve the minimum academic entry requirements will be ranked by
UKCAT total score. Allocations for interviews will then be processed from the top UKCAT total
score. Applicants who have not sat the UKCAT and who have not received a UKCAT exemption
will not be considered for entry.

applying straight from School and also graduate applicants who already possess a first
degree. The cut off for the UKCAT score will be determined on a yearly basis to allow us to take
forward approximately 200 - 250 applicants to the next stage. All applications taken forward to
stage 2 of the admissions process will be invited to attend a selection interview as evidence of
their suitability and this will be assessed against the BDS Person Specification. All applicants
should read the information provided on the BDS Person Specification carefully. From 2012
entry, the Scottish Government determined different funded numbers for Scottish and EUstudents (73) from the rest of the UK (RUK) (14) and this is likely to be the case in 2013. Glasgow
Dental School very much regrets that his means that we may need to app ly a different UKCAT

A100 Medicine All our applicants must take the UKCAT in the year they apply. If your UKCAT score is high
enough, we invite you for interview directly. Otherwise, we award you a number of points
depending on your UKCAT score, and add this to the points from your UCAS form to give the
total score which we use to rank you against other applicants. If you have a total UKCAT score of
less than 2400, or a score of less than 450 in any of the four cognitive subtests, we won't
normally consider your application. If you meet these minimum requirements, your UKCAT score
contributes to your application as follows:

UKCAT cut-off scores are calculated each year, as a result of ranked candidate UKCAT scores
versus number of expected interview sessions. As a result, the absolute UKCAT cut-off changes
each year. However, the UKCAT cut-off scores from previous admissions cycles may be used as a
guide. For 2013 entry, 640 was the minimum score required in each of the following:
quantitative reasoning, decision analysis, verbal reasoning, abstract reasoning.

Your UKCAT scores will be considered in our selection for interview. They will not be the sole
indicator for selection. They will be balanced against achievement in other areas, in particular
your academic performance to date. All indicators will be considered together in deciding who

'cut off' score for the UKCAT when applying for 2014 entry. For example, if an applicant has an
excellent academic background then the test scores will play a less significant part in selection.
For those with weaker academic backgrounds (relative to our overall applicant pool), the scores
will become more important. An applicant who may not normally be considered on academic
grounds could be invited to interview on the strength of strong UKCAT scores that may indicate
potential. Also, if applicants are very similar in all other ways, the score may be the determining
factor in selection for interview. As a guide for applicants, for 2012/3 entry, most applicantsinvited for interview had scored at least 695.

To help identify talented students from all backgrounds, UKCAT scores from UK candidates who
come from similar educational and socio-demographic backgrounds are considered against each
other. This is done by using supplemental information provided by publicly available datasets
(see www.manchester.ac.uk/contextualdata). Equal proportions of top scoring applicants fromeach group are then selected for interview. One of the aims of the foundation year in medicine
is to widen participation. With this in mind, applicants with a contextual data flag who meet our
academic and non-academic criteria, whose UKCAT score is below our threshold, will be given
additional consideration and may be invited for an interview. We anticipate that the number of
applicants that this applies to will be low. The following tables give the range of UKCAT scores
for applicants who were invited to interview last year. These are intended as a guide only; as we
do not receive the UKCAT results prior to application, we cannot predict the score needed to

A106 Medicine To help identify talented students from all backgrounds, UKCAT scores from UK candidates
who come from similar educational and socio-demographic backgrounds are considered
against each other. This is done by using supplemental information provided by publicly
available datasets (see www.manchester.ac.uk/contextualdata). Equal proportions of top
scoring applicants from each group are then selected for interview.
The following tables give the range of UKCAT scores for applicants who were invited to
interview last year. These are intended as a guide only; as we do not receive the UKCAT
results prior to application, we cannot predict the score needed to obtain an interview.

in relation to other candidates. It i s this percentile score that is examined as part of the

Firstly we set a cut off for the overall UKCAT score and applicants obtaining a score below that
will not be considered for interview or a medical place. We have a limit ed number of interviewplaces (around 500). Many more than 500 of our applicants offer a strong academic
performance and excellent personal statement and reference. Therefore, to decide which of
those strong applicants should get an interview, we use the global UKCAT score. The cut-off level
depends on the number of strong applicants each year and the number of interview p laces
available. A cut off score for each admissions cycle will be decided upon once all applications
have been assessed.
Secondly, at St Andrews the UKCAT score wil l be used as part of an applicant's overall ranking
following interview. The UKCAT score will be worth 15% of an overall admissions score. That
percentage will be generated by a points system whereby applicant scores will be ranked and
divided into bandings with points allocated per banding. In order to be competitive and obtain
an offer, a high score would be advantageous. The average global UKCAT score for those who
obtained an offer for 2012 entry was 2700.

On receipt of the information from UKCAT, Warwick Medical School ranks all applicants in
respect of their score. This means that anyone applying for the programme is in competition
with all other applicant that year. The programme looks at scores for each individual component
as well as the total score. The UKCAT scores are considered in conjunction with the information
presented on the UCAS form. At times it may be that a person with a slightly lower UKCAT score
and a good UCAS form may be invited in preference to a very high UKCAT score but less evidence
of other important qualities on the UCAS form. In practice, from our experience over the past
few years, we are unlikely to invite anyone with a UKCAT total score that is below 2600 to the
