• Minimal emphasis on Situational Judgement Score; primarily used in borderline cases.

• In considering applications, University of Birmingham use a 70%:30% weighting of academic attributes: UKCAT score respectively.
• ​Total UKCAT scores of applicants are sorted into deciles and scored (ie. top decile scorers receives the most points = 3.0)
• Situational Judgement Test scores are only used following interview in borderline cases (ie. If your interview score is within 5% of the cut-off score).

• Applicants are ranked as per the following weighting:

​GCSE 15% | A-level 15% | Personal statement 50% | UKCAT 20% 

• No UKCAT cut-off is operated.

• Situational Judgement banding not taken into consideration.

• UKCAT Score contributes approximately 8% of the total application and can affect both interview selection and offer allocation.
• Points are allocated to applicants who score in the top quartile for the UKCAT (3 points), with 0 points for applicants in the bottom quartile. This score is added to one’s overall application score.
• Situational Judgement will be assessed as part of ‘non-academic requirements’ rather than alongside one’s UKCAT score.

• UKCAT scores (Maximum Score: 32) are used alongside your academic score (Maximum score: 32) in order to calculate total score (Maximum Score: 64) and determine eligibility for interview.
• UKCAT Score for 2018 entry was calculated by dividing the total UKCAT Score of the three main sections by 100, with students scoring more than 3200, given 32 points.
• SJT may be used as a virtual multiple interview station.
• Applicants with band 4 in the Situational Judgement Test will be automatically rejected pre-interview.

• Applicants scoring Band 4 in the Situational Judgement Test will not be considered for entry.
• Candidates with ‘competitive UKCAT score’ regarded as greater than 2500 will be considered for interview.

• If your UKCAT score is in the approximately the top third of all results nationally then you will be invited to interview based on our UKCAT threshold as long as you meet our minimum academic requirements (for example, GCSE and predicted grades). We expect to invite approximately 900-1000 candidates to interview based on this selection route.
• To help identify talented students from all backgrounds, UKCAT scores from UK/EU candidates who come from similar educational and socio-demographic backgrounds are considered against each other. This is done by using supplemental information provided by publicly available datasets. Equal proportions of top scoring applicants from each group are then selected for interview.

• Applicants meeting Newcastle University’s academic thresholds will be assessed based on UKCAT score in deciding whether to invite an applicant for interview.
• UKCAT thresholds vary depending on the course, route of entry and also on a yearly basis.
• Situation Judgement scores will not be included in the admissions process.

• There are five components to the UKCAT test which will be scored (Maximum score = 39 points). The four cognitive components (verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, abstract reasoning, decision analysis) are each scored as follows: 801 – 900 = 9 points; 701 – 800 = 8 points; 601 – 700 = 7 points; 501 – 600 = 6 points; 401 – 500 = 5 points; 301 – 400 = 4 points
• The fifth component, SJT is scored as follows:​ Band 1 = 4 points; Band 2= 2 points; Band 3= 1 point; Band 4= 0 point  (Applicants who achieve a band 4 are not considered further).
• This UKCAT score is combined with one’s GCSE score (Subjects scored: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English Language, Maths, Best three other subjects – 2 points for ‘A*’, 1 point for ‘A’ with maximum GCSE score of 16.)
• ​The top (approximately) 50% of applicants will be considered further and have their personal statement and references further scored. 

• UKCAT used alongside academic factors to determine eligibility for interview.
• UKCAT threshold (cut-off) for each of the four main sections as well as an overall target score. Nb. not all thresholds need to be met.

• ​UKCAT score is used alongside UCAS Tariff (50:50 weighting) in deciding which applicants are suitable for interview.
• Graduates who apply for the five-year programmes and four-year GEP programme who meet the minimum academic criteria will be ranked against the other graduate applicants applying in that year according to 50:50 weighting applied to the UKCAT score and academic ability as measured using a points weighting of degree classification or postgraduate degrees.
• Candidates scoring below the third decile (< 2420 in 2018) will not be considered for interview.

• For all candidates UKCAT will be scored using the overall results from four of the papers. Candidates can obtain up to a maximum of 6 additional points: 0 Points: 1200 – 1899; 1 Point:  1900 – 2099; 2 Points: 2100 – 2299; 3 Points: 2300 – 2499; 4 Points: 2500 – 2699; 5 Points: 2700 – 2899; 6 Points: 2900 – 3600
• Situational Judgement Test results were not used for 2018 entry, except in borderline cases, where candidates have received similar interview scores.

• Minimum UKCAT score required for 2018 entry applicants: 2460
• SJT score will be considered for applicants invited to attend a Multiple Mini Interview (MMI)
• UKCAT scores are used alongside academic entry requirements:

1. GCSE passes at grade C or above in Mathematics, English and the Sciences (which may be dual awards).
2. You should have at least six A grades in GCSE subjects.
3. The six A grades may include Mathematics, English and the sciences.
4. Acceptable science GCSEs include: Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Mathematics, Physics, Psychology, Sciences (dual awards)
5. Applicants taking GCSEs graded using the new numerical system will need to obtain eight GCSEs graded 9-4, of these you must have six 7 grades taken in one sitting.  A grade 4 is deemed equivalent of a grade C.  A combination of numerically and alphabetically graded GCSEs is acceptable;

• Applicants are ranked by UKCAT score and invited to a Selection Day (Provided they meet the academic requirements).
