Claim
There are partial marks in the UCAT
Our verdict
False
True
Partially true
In the UCAT, partial marks are given for certain types of questions. The table below gives an overview of the scoring and marking process we use at Medify for the UCAT exam.
How accurate is Medify’s UCAT scoring system?
It’s important to note that the UCAT Consortium is opaque about how partial marks are awarded, so we can’t be 100% sure how the system works. However, our analysis of UCAT Technical Reports combined with our own performance data has informed the development of our system. What’s more, we also apply scaled scoring, which means that our mocks provide an authentic simulation of the UCAT Test Day experience, and an accurate reflection of your performance.
