UCAT Score Calculator 2026 - Convert Raw Marks to Scaled Scores Out of 2700

The 2026 UCAT has three cognitive subtests: Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making and Quantitative Reasoning. Each is scaled from 300 to 900, giving a total between 900 and 2700. Abstract Reasoning was removed in 2025, which is why older scores run up to 3600.

Situational Judgement is reported separately as Band 1 (best) to Band 4 rather than contributing to the total score.

The UCAT total score runs from 900 to 2700 in 2026. Each of the three cognitive subtests (Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning) is scaled between 300 and 900. Situational Judgement does not add to the total; it is reported as a band from 1 to 4. Before 2025 the test had four scored subtests and totals ran from 1200 to 3600.

The raw-mark to scaled-score bands are compiled from official UCAT guidance and thousands of verified student score reports, and the percentile and decile figures use the official statistics published by the UCAT Consortium. The UCAT applies statistical equating that varies slightly between test versions, so treat results as a close estimate rather than an official score.

Use the converter above: enter your score out of 3600 and it returns the statistically equivalent score out of 2700, matched by percentile against the latest cohort (2026). For example, a score at the 90th percentile on the old scale (about 2920) corresponds to about 2250 on the current scale. This is essential when comparing against university cut-offs published before 2025.

In the final 2026 statistics the average total was 1918. Roughly 2050 or above put you in the top 30% of candidates, 2140 in the top 20% and 2250 or above in the top 10%, which is competitive for almost every medical school. What counts as good also depends on how each university weighs the UCAT, so check the cut-off scores for your target schools.

The official final mean total in 2026 was 1918 out of 2700, from 42,359 tests, close to the 5th decile boundary of 1920. Mean subtest scores were 602 for Verbal Reasoning, 640 for Decision Making and 675 for Quantitative Reasoning. Averages move slightly each year, and we update this page when new statistics are published.

The maximum possible UCAT score is 2700 (900 in each of the three cognitive subtests). In practice, any total of 2471 or above already sits in the 99th percentile, and scores approaching 2700 are exceptionally rare. On the pre-2025 scale the maximum was 3600.

Enter your total in the calculator or converter above for an instant answer, or look it up in the percentile table on this page. As reference points from the official final 2026 data: 1920 is the 5th decile (the 50th percentile), 2140 the 80th, 2250 the 90th and 2471 or above the 99th. Percentiles run from 1st to 99th; there is no 0th or 100th percentile.

Yes. Practice platforms report raw marks per subtest, which is exactly what this calculator takes as input. Enter your raw marks from any platform mock, including the official UCAT practice tests, and you get a scaled score, percentile, decile and SJT band on the official UCAT scale, so you can compare performance across platforms fairly.

Decision Making has 23 one-mark questions and 12 two-mark questions, 47 marks in total. On the two-mark questions a fully correct answer earns 2 marks and a partially correct answer earns 1 mark. Most online calculators ignore this and only count questions; the partial marks mode in our calculator takes your one-mark, fully correct and partially correct answers separately for a more precise Decision Making estimate.

Your SJT raw marks are compared with an expert panel's answers and reported as a band. Scoring roughly 80% or more of the available SJT marks gives Band 1, 65 to 79% Band 2, 50 to 64% Band 3 and below 50% Band 4. Several universities require Band 1 to 3, and some score Band 1 favourably at interview.

Approximately 56 or more of the 69 SJT marks (around 80%) has corresponded to Band 1 in recent cycles. Roughly 45 to 55 marks gives Band 2 and 35 to 44 marks Band 3. The UCAT Consortium sets exact band boundaries after each cycle, so treat these as close estimates rather than guarantees.

Yes. UCAT ANZ uses the same subtests, the same 300 to 900 scaling and the same 900 to 2700 total as the UK test, so the raw-mark conversion works identically. Note that the percentile and decile figures on this page are from the UK cohort; ANZ percentile boundaries are published separately and typically sit slightly higher.

Both, depending on the university. Some rank applicants by total score, others use decile or percentile boundaries, and some apply a minimum SJT band on top. That is why this page shows your score, percentile, decile and band together.

Before 2025 the UCAT had four scored cognitive subtests including Abstract Reasoning, each scaled 300 to 900, giving a 1200 to 3600 range. From 2025 Abstract Reasoning was removed, so totals now run from 900 to 2700. Scores from the two eras can only be compared by percentile, which is what the converter on this page does.

No. Official UCAT reporting uses nine decile boundaries. The 9th decile boundary (2250 in 2026) marks the 90th percentile; any score above it is simply in the top 10% of candidates. A score below the 1st decile boundary (1590) is in the bottom 10%.

The most accurate calculators are built on official UCAT statistics rather than a single straight-line formula. This calculator uses the UCAT Consortium's published percentile and decile data, raw-mark bands verified against thousands of real score reports, and Decision Making partial marking, which most calculators ignore. No calculator can be exact because the UCAT statistically equates each test version, so treat every estimate, ours included, as a close guide rather than an official result.

In the official final 2026 data, scores of 2241 to 2250 sit at the 90th percentile, with 2250 as the 9th decile boundary. For comparison, the 95th percentile is 2321 to 2350 and the 99th percentile is 2471 or above.

Percentage correct does not convert directly to a scaled score because each subtest is equated separately. Instead, turn your percentage back into raw marks (for example 75% in Verbal Reasoning is 33 of 44 marks), then enter the raw marks into the calculator above for the scaled score, total and percentile.

Yes. Any UCAT score from 2024 or earlier uses the 1200 to 3600 scale, so the converter above works for all pre-2025 results: enter the old score and you get the equivalent on the current 900 to 2700 scale, with its percentile and decile. The same works in reverse if you want to compare a 2026 score against an older sibling's result or a cut-off published before 2025.
