hi emil! just want to say that your videos on UCAT have been extremely helpful in achieving my target UCAT score this year :) I literally watched your ucat series throughout revision and on the morning of UCAT as well!! i will definitely be recommending your channel to all my med/dent friends/juniors! wish you the best of luck in Med school :)
not meaning to scare anyone but I got a 2730 despite getting several 3000+ on my mocks. I did around 30 mocks while reviewing them in total. My DM mark dropped severely to 660 which let me down. I got threw by one or two sets in QR which let me down and wasted time (didn’t happen in my prep), and i guessed around a third of the questions. VR- 670 DM- 660 QR-720 AR- 680 Honestly, i feel as tho the day before i should’ve done a mock. Cause on the day I didn’t feel as sharp as i felt during my prep cause of not looking at those type of questions for a while.
I feel you one hundred percent bro, I get around 2800 to 2900 on my mocks but ended up getting 2750 on my test. DM was normally my strongest subset and I rarely got anything wrong but the test DM section was mighty difficult. As an international student in Australia I am aware that perhaps our scoring is a bit different but stay hopeful and still apply to the uni you want.
@@cheungarchy2722 Yeah cuz DM was much more difficult then i expected. same with the QR, some of the sets i just didn’t understand the wording of and wasted time. that never happened in my prep on medify. I’m seeing a lot of people say that their scores were lower than their prep so hopefully the percentiles are lower this year. I’m hoping for an 80
hiya Emil, i'm currently working on my UCAT that i have in 10 days and every mock i do, my score is not increasing. i don't know how to get my score up, as the score i am currently getting is much lower than what i want to achieve. any advice? love all your videos btw, they have really helped me on my journey so far :) all the best!
Have a careful look at the mistakes you're making and identify problems that you can actively work to fix. Usually these are things like specific question types or timing issues, so once you find them, focus your study on improving those things!
Do you know if as a NZ citizen applying for medicine in Australia I'd be disadvantaged? I'm pretty confused with the processes and how to go about applying.. thank you!!!!
I’m really sorry but I don’t know much about NZ applicants - I assume you’d be considered the same way an interstate applicant would be considered in Australia. I’m making a video soon about the application process, so stay tuned for that!
It is possible. I’ve been accepted to study Medicine at KCL with a UCAT score of 2280 😅 and there is a CZcamsr and FY1 Doctor called Natasha Binnie who got a score of 2296. You don’t always have to be in the top 10% to receive an offer. Also, I had mediocre grades and completed an Access to Medicine course so it’s not like I had advantages in any other areas.
You need ATAR, UCAT and Interview. Each is weighted 1/3. ATAR usually above 98 and UCAT above 2800. Depends on whether you're an interstate or rural applicant as well
@@EmilEddy wats atar. Does it depend on A levels. I m an international student who have just finished alrvels and thinking of studying in Australia.Do I have to give any additional exams ? Thaks for the reply btw
@@johndscnite8717 right, so your atar is your A-level equivalent. If you have your A-levels, you probably won't need an ATAR, but you should check how your scores scale over to the atar system because you need quite high marks
@@hk4560 oh right sorry! It's the Australian equivalent of your A-levels (end of highschool mark). If you're applying to UK universities, that's a pretty competitive score, because the bar is a bit lower.
Hey Emil, love your videos and the high quality information you provide. I am a year 12 student in SA and dropped the subject English since I decide to do a vet course, hence I cannot apply interstate. Therefore the only two universities I can apply to are Flinders (10% ucat, 90% ATAR, no interview) and Adelaide University (UCAT:Interview:ATAR --> 20:40:40, interview given based on UCAT) which offer medicine. Based on my current grades and 5 extra aggregate points due to the university equity scheme for which my school is eligible, I believe I can get a 97+. However, I am not too confident about my UCAT (sitting in 23 days). Based on the university entry requirements, which university should be my first preference you suggest? Also the UCAT cut off is like 70th percentile for students in SA. Thanks :)
Hi! Thanks for the comment. Since you get your UCAT results on test day, I reccomend that you wait to do your UCAT, then get your results and decide which uni you want to put as your first preference. If you do well on the UCAT, put Adelaide University as your first pref, if you don't do as well, put Flinders as your first pref. Hope that helps :)
Just off the top of my head, I think UQ, Curtin, Flinders, Uni of South Australia, UNSW, WSU and UWA. I didn't end up going to half of them because I already had my place at Monash, so I didn't want to take somebody else's spot

Thank you for this concise video, I found it very easy to understand as a uk student!
thank you and no worries!
Love your work.
Thanks Rion

if getting a higher atar compensates a lower UCAT, does the same principal apply with university GPA. eg a higher GPA compensates a lower UCAT score ?
This I actually do not know about, but I assume that would be the case - might be worth emailing the admissions department
Do you know if as a NZ citizen applying for medicine in Australia I'd be disadvantaged? I'm pretty confused with the processes and how to go about applying.. thank you!!!!

Also in general the application cut off time is the end of September, so you still have time to work things out
@@EmilEddy Thank you!!!!
I’m a foreigner, want to apply to KCL undergrad… I have zero advantages 😅

What is a good ucat score for a 3rd year Monash uni student transferring to like university of new castle? Is it still the same ?
Hey.
What were the entry requirements for Monash Uni? Would be great if u can give a brief description

@@EmilEddy oh thanks a lot dude! Really appreciate it
No, lets not.
oh.
I got 2800 and band 1. Is that good enough to be competitive to most med schools?
It's probably good enough to get you an interview, but you will likely need a high ATAR and good interview as well to get in.
@@EmilEddy I’m from the UK, what’s an ATAR?
@@hk4560 oh right sorry! It's the Australian equivalent of your A-levels (end of highschool mark). If you're applying to UK universities, that's a pretty competitive score, because the bar is a bit lower.
@@EmilEddy okay thanks!
hi emil can you apply to monash uni in your first year of another degree?
You can! It's best to contact the monash careers office to see whether it's possible

@@EmilEddy Great, thanks for the advice👍
Haha, any compensation for interviews, I'm not a people's person.
Unfortunately not! You might have to work on your people skills before your interview so that you’re feeling more prepared!
What other university's accepted you for the interview
Just off the top of my head, I think UQ, Curtin, Flinders, Uni of South Australia, UNSW, WSU and UWA. I didn't end up going to half of them because I already had my place at Monash, so I didn't want to take somebody else's spot
After my first year in university does my atar score not matter anymore but instead the marks I receive in my first year at uni?
Don't take my word for it, but I think so!
