25.01.2022 Just how many MORE questions do you solve correctly to jump from a 50th to 90th percentile score in the UCAT?? Check out our video here: https://www.icanmed.com.au/how-does-ucat-scoring-work-what/ Based on the official UCAT ANZ 2019 statistics, we've created a table that shows the approximate scores for 50th and 90th percentile from a linear relationship between scaled scores and raw scores. What does this mean? The average student performs so poorly that it only takes a stu...dent to answer an additional 6-8 questions correctly to jump from a 50th percentile to 90th percentile score. How crazy is that? Make sure you priority accuracy before anything else!
