UCAT Score Calculator

What is a good UCAT score in 2026?

A “good” score is best read as a decile — the slice of candidates you outscored. These are the official 2025 boundaries for the total (out of 2700) and each section; landing on the 7th-decile row means you beat roughly 70% of candidates.

Source: official UCAT 2025 Test Statistics. Above the 9th decile, the 95th percentile is 2310 and the 99th is 2460.

Score cutoff for every percentile (2025)

The lowest total that reaches each percentile. Scores move in steps of 10, so a few percentiles are skipped (marked *) — those show the score that takes you just past.

How is the UCAT scored?

Your raw mark in a section is simply the number of questions you answered correctly — there’s no negative marking. That raw mark is converted to a scaled score between 300 and 900. The conversion is “equated” so that a 700 means the same thing whichever version you sat — and that conversion table is not released, which is why raw-to-scaled can only ever be estimated.

The three cognitive sections are each scored 300–900 and summed to a total out of 2700. The Situational Judgement Test is reported in Band 1 (best) to Band 4instead, and isn’t part of the 2700. When universities quote a “UCAT score” they almost always mean the cognitive total, often alongside a minimum SJT band. For the full picture, see our complete UCAT 2026 guide.

How accurate is this calculator?

The percentile and decile are exact — they come straight from the official UCAT 2025 statistics, so if you enter your real scaled scores the result matches the published distribution. The raw-to-scaled step is the estimate: since the official scaling is confidential, the calculator maps your accuracy onto the 300–900 range with a curve tuned to real conversions and rounds to the nearest 10. Use raw mode to track progress between mocks and spot your weakest section; use scaled mode for an exact read on where you stand.
