Enter the three cognitive scores from your UCAT result (300–900 each) to get the total out of 2700 that universities receive, the mean they usually quote, and what your Situational Judgement band means beside it. Free, no sign-up.
Enter all three cognitive scores to see your total. A total from two of the three would not be the number universities receive, so this tool does not show one.
Situational Judgement is sat in the same session (69 questions in 26 minutes) but is reported as a band, not a scaled score, and is not added into the total above.
UCAT sets no pass mark, so the only meaningful comparison is against a threshold a university has actually published for the cycle you are applying in. Paste that number here.
| Section | Questions | Time | Reported as |
|---|---|---|---|
| Verbal Reasoning | 44 | 22 min | 300–900 |
| Decision Making | 35 | 37 min | 300–900 |
| Quantitative Reasoning | 36 | 26 min | 300–900 |
| Situational Judgement | 69 | 26 min | Band 1–4 |
There is no negative marking, so a wrong answer costs nothing that leaving the question blank would not — if the clock is about to run out, answering beats leaving it empty. Abstract Reasoning is no longer part of the test, which is why the total is 900–2700 rather than the older four-subtest range. Preparing for the test itself? See the Myndaq UCAT course.
UCAT sets no pass mark, so there is no single good score: each university decides what it wants and publishes its own threshold. The three cognitive subtests are each scaled 300–900, so the total runs 900–2700 and the mean of the three is the figure universities usually quote. Compare your total against the threshold published by the specific universities you are applying to, in the cycle you are applying in.
Add the three cognitive scaled scores — Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making and Quantitative Reasoning — each of which runs 300 to 900. That gives a total between 900 and 2700. Situational Judgement is not part of it: it is reported separately as a band.
No. Situational Judgement is reported as a band from 1 to 4 and sits alongside the cognitive total rather than inside it. Band 1 is the highest and Band 4 the lowest. Universities vary in how much weight they give the band, and some exclude candidates at Band 4, so check each one.
Four sections are sat in the same session, but only three are cognitive and scored 300–900: Verbal Reasoning (44 questions in 22 minutes), Decision Making (35 in 37) and Quantitative Reasoning (36 in 26). The fourth, Situational Judgement (69 questions in 26 minutes), is reported as a band. Abstract Reasoning is no longer part of the test, which is why the total is 900–2700 and not the older 1200–3600.
No. UCAT states there is no negative marking for incorrect answers, so a wrong answer costs nothing a blank would not. That makes leaving a question unanswered strictly worse than guessing when the clock is about to run out.
No, and be wary of tools that claim to. UCAT publishes decile boundaries for each test cycle and they move from year to year, so a decile taken from last cycle’s table can be misleading. This calculator gives your total and mean from the scores on your result, and leaves the decile to UCAT’s own published table for your cycle.
