Calculate your UCAT score
Choose the test-year context, then enter the correct marks and total marks shown on your mock. This UCAT score converter keeps raw percentages visible and shows a scaled-score estimate only when the official denominator is used.
Current format with 2025 cohort reference context while 2026 statistics are pending. The selected year changes the reference label. Raw-to-scaled values are indicative study anchors, not an official UCAT conversion table.

The example uses the official current-format denominators: VR 44, DM 47 raw marks, QR 36 and SJT 69. Decision Making has 35 questions, but some multi-statement items can award partial marks.
This is a study estimate. UCAT may use form-specific scoring and published cohort statistics. Check your official result before making application decisions.

How to use the UCAT score calculator
The fastest way to use a UCAT score calculator is to separate the marks you earned from the meaning you attach to them. First confirm the test format, then enter the raw result exactly as it appears on your mock. The result panel keeps scaled scores, cognitive total, percentile context and SJT band visibly separate so one number is not mistaken for another.
Enter correct and total marks
Copy the correct marks and total marks from your mock report. Decision Making uses raw marks, so a multi-statement question can contribute more than one mark.
Calculate the estimate
Read each subtest estimate, the cognitive total, percentile context and SJT band separately. Use the data note to understand how much confidence to place in the result.
A PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
From mock marks to a useful score context
Suppose a practice paper gives you 32 out of 44 in Verbal Reasoning, 34 out of 47 Decision Making raw marks, 27 out of 36 in Quantitative Reasoning and 58 out of 69 in Situational Judgement. The calculator can show the raw percentages immediately, then apply the selected study anchors to produce an indicative VR, DM and QR scaled estimate. It adds those three cognitive scores into one total and keeps SJT as a separate band because SJT is reported differently.
Treat this output as a planning signal, not a promise about an admissions outcome. A higher raw percentage in one mock does not automatically translate to the same scaled score in another form.
READ THE OUTPUT CORRECTLY
What the UCAT score calculator shows
Raw marks
The number of marks you earned in a particular subtest. It is useful for reviewing practice accuracy, but it is tied to the number and structure of questions in that test form.
Scaled score
If you are looking for a UCAT scaled score calculator, this is an indicative 300–900 score for each cognitive subtest. The page uses visible, version-labelled study anchors rather than pretending that a simple percentage is an official conversion.
Cognitive total
The calculator adds the estimated VR, DM and QR scaled scores. The resulting 900–2,700 context is separate from the Situational Judgement band.
SJT band
Situational Judgement is reported as Band 1 to Band 4. The estimate is shown separately so it is not accidentally added to the cognitive total.
REFERENCE DATA
UCAT score conversion table
This compact table shows example anchor points used by the browser calculator. It is deliberately labelled indicative: the UCAT publishes the exam format and cohort statistics, but a practice paper's raw marks are not a universal official conversion table.
Indicative study anchors for the current UK format
| Raw marks | VR estimate | DM estimate | QR estimate |
|---|
Anchor values are rounded planning estimates; use them to compare practice sessions, not to claim an official score.
OLD RESULTS
What does legacy mode do?
Legacy mode is a safety feature for older mock books and historical score discussions. It does not re-label a pre-2025 result as if it were taken under the current format. When selected, the tool keeps the raw percentages visible but marks scaled-score comparison as unavailable unless a verified, year-specific mapping is added later.
Do not combine a legacy percentile table with a current-format raw score. The year, test structure and cohort context must match.
TRUST AND LIMITS
Accuracy, privacy and limitations
A UCAT score calculator is most useful when it is honest about what can and cannot be inferred. Raw marks are a direct practice result. Scaled scores and percentile context are estimates that depend on the selected test format, the conversion assumptions and the comparison cohort. A score from this page should help you review a mock, set a revision target or compare two practice sessions; it should not be presented as an official UCAT result.
The page uses a version-labelled client-side model and keeps the calculation in your browser. It does not ask for your name, university choices, application details or account. No result needs to be uploaded for the calculator to work. If a future data release changes the available conversion evidence, the mapping and data note should be updated rather than silently changing the meaning of an old result.
Percentile context is not a university cut-off and cannot predict an interview or offer. Course demand, applicant cohort, selection policy and contextual factors vary. Always compare your result with the current UCAT information and the admissions guidance for the universities you are considering.

COMMON QUESTIONS
UCAT score calculator FAQ
These answers explain the calculator's scope, what the estimate means and where the page intentionally refuses to overstate its precision.
What is the most accurate UCAT score calculator?
The most useful calculator is one that matches the correct test format, shows its assumptions and clearly labels estimates. No independent calculator can replace the official UCAT score report. This page is designed to be transparent about raw marks, indicative anchors, reference statistics and limitations rather than claiming guaranteed accuracy.
How do I convert a UCAT raw score to a scaled score?
Use the tool as a UCAT raw score converter: enter the correct raw marks and the total marks for each subtest, select the matching year context and calculate. The page applies visible study anchors for VR, DM and QR. A simple raw percentage is not presented as an official scaled score, and a custom denominator may make a scaled estimate unavailable.
Is this UCAT score calculator official?
No. UCAT Score Calculator is an independent study tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by UCAT. The official UCAT website and your official score report remain the authoritative sources for exam format, results and statistics.
What is the difference between raw and scaled UCAT scores?
A raw score is the number of marks earned in a particular test form. A scaled score places a cognitive subtest on a 300–900 reporting scale. Because test forms can differ, raw percentage and scaled score should not be treated as interchangeable.
Can I calculate a UCAT percentile?
The result panel provides the context you would expect from a UCAT percentile calculator, based on the selected reference data. It is not a university cut-off and it can change when a new cohort's statistics are published. Use it to understand relative practice performance, not to predict an offer.
What does legacy mode do?
Legacy mode keeps raw percentage context visible for older formats but does not force a historical score into the current scale. It is intentionally conservative because an old-format result and a current-format result may not be directly comparable.
Does this work for UCAT ANZ?
The first release is focused on UK UCAT. Do not use the UK reference data to interpret UCAT ANZ. A future ANZ mode should have its own verified format, conversion assumptions and cohort statistics before it reports a scaled estimate.
Why did my estimate change after selecting another year?
The selected year controls the data label and reference context. UCAT results should be interpreted against the cohort and test format that match the result. If the page does not have verified year-specific evidence, it should show a limitation instead of inventing a precise conversion.
