How we work this out
What it does
The top of the scale, the 2026 percentiles near it and what one in ten candidates reached.
UK UCAT 2026: the cognitive total of three subtests (Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning) and the SJT band. Not UCAT ANZ.
Method
- Each subtest is scaled from 300 to 900, so the total runs from 900 to 2700.
- Every percentile is the one the UCAT Consortium's own 2026 look-up returns for that total; the deciles and SJT shares come from its final 2026 statistics (42,359 tests to 24 September 2026).
