What UCAT says, and what is ours
- What SJT measures
The situational judgement test (SJT) measures your capacity to understand real world situations and to identify critical factors and appropriate behaviour in dealing with them.
- How it is marked
Full marks are awarded for a question if your response matches the correct answer and partial marks awarded if your response is close to the correct answer.
- Bands
Those in Band 1 demonstrated an excellent level of performance, showing similar judgement in most cases to the panel of experts.
Bands come from scaled scores; UCAT does not publish raw-mark cut-offs.- Ours
- Our keys are original practice keys, reviewed independently, not the Consortium's expert panel. Half a mark for one step off is our rule. We never turn practice marks into a band, and other providers set their own keys and rules, which is why their SJT bands can disagree.
